We don't tip black people, note to Virginia waitress said
BBC World News ^ | January 9 , 2017 | BBC

Waitress Kelly Carter said a couple had written on the receipt: "Great service don't tip black people."

Owner Tommy Tellez told BBC News the response has been "phenomenal".

People have been dropping by the restaurant to give Ms Carter cash, Mr Tellez said, and a YouCaring campaign has raised over $300 (£245) for her.

Her regular customers have been dropping by to give her hugs.

Tipping is customary in the US, where restaurant servers often earn less than the minimum wage, with tips supposed to make up the difference in pay.

The white couple who left the note appeared to be in their mid-20s, and left after spending $30.52 (£25) on food.

Ms Carter told local media that one of the diners had even complimented the breakfast she served them on Saturday.

They posted the signed receipt, including the signature which did not match the note.
the note also had a syntax error.

“Excluding white Canadians ; who also don’t tip at all . They know they should , for physical services rendered , but they seem to play dumb .”

Its a cultural language thing. They probably don't speak American. Most likely Quebecois. :~)
