No tip for US waitress with LGBT tattoo
BBC ^ | 15 August 2017 | Sherie Ryder

Waiting staff in the US rely heavily on their tips to make up for their low wages, but one server in Rockford, Illinois, was surprised to find the reason for the lack of a gratuity written on a receipt.

The tip is given for good service and nothing more.

I doubt this happened. I think she is trying to get her 15 seconds of fame

I just assume these stories are fake every time I read them. Bet the handwriting is hers or one of her friend’s.

Can they figure out who it was? Maybe get’em fired from their job or run out of business?

Fake news,as are 99.999% of similar stories.If I ever found myself being waited on by such a perv I certainly wouldn't give it a tip...and I certainly wouldn't say why in writing.However,if you're paying with a credit card that's pretty risky.Restaurants are one of the major places where credit card fraud,theft,etc takes place.

“Waitress didn’t get tip” is now newsworthy to BBC.

Not all people with tattoos are stupid, but all stupid people have tattoos.

Tips are given at the discretion of the tipper. That said, most churches welcome gays so obviously homosexuality is not universally believed to be contrary to Christianity.

Imagine if all of us ran to the Press every time someone was rude to us. Daily newspapers would be several feet thick.

I don’t believe either, but if true, ink has consequences.

Does she have a purple Mohawk and one side of her head shaved? If so, she fits the profile of the self-loathing, faking lesbian.
