(Reddit.com) A woman had enough money to pay for a $138.35 bill, but not enough to handle 15 percent more than that. The explanation written in the tip line, Single Mom Sorry. An online discussion has broken out around the country after the included photo surfaced on Reddit.
The photo was posted by editor PhenixSongFawkes on the online forum. He wrote, Im sure $140 could have gotten you and your kids a week worth of groceries, but instead you spend it one one meal?! For shame!
That tends to be the general sentiment of comment posters on Reddit and other social media sites, with most insinuating that if the woman could afford a $140 bill, she could probably afford to add a somewhat-obligatory 15 percent tip, which would total $21.

LOL
I think if people want to make choices, they've cast their lot and deal with the REPUTATION and CONSEQUENCES, and if they're ashamed of admitting who they are; that's not my problem....it's theirs.
Thats perfect! AMEN!! May GOD BLESS YOU!
Service charge really should be part of the bill.
It should, but it is not, and everyone knows it is not. Stiffing a waitress is theft.
Hell no! The worst service I’ve ever gotten was at a place where they included an 18% gratuity due to the size of the group (about 14).
When the gratuity is included, people often get lazy.
I’m happy to reward great service, or even good service. Don’t charge me extra for lousy service!
Not at all; I just call it as I see it.
Look around in REAL LIFE, and you'll see what we've become with that "political correctness", and "if it FEELS GOOD, do it" mentality.
Sorry, that's the fact, Jack.
I’m just drawing the natural conclusion from your post.
If you actually do tip, then good for you. It’s the right thing to do.
AMEN!
and to the pathetic and ignorant tightwads on this thread!
STARVE! and have Buggers served “Accidently” in your decrepit bodies!
If the service is worth a tip I’ll tip but I haven’t been to a restaurant in years.
Not bitter at all. Just making a simple observation.
If your so damn rich you can pick up my tip, as I am just a poor “idiot”. You can pay a tip on service that may not deserve it and for that matter pay a handout to someone who has no intention of trying to better themselves and would rather bitch and whine and post their recipts on the net looking for pitty.
You seem to be getting flustered. Maybe time to take a break and go count your millions.
By the way, I don’t remember posting my income.
Unless the service is horrible — as in willfully spiteful or something — you should always leave a tip. 15% is the norm and you add or subtract depending on the quality of service. Not leaving a tip should be reserved for when you want to make a major statement to the waiter. Basically it says “If I were your manager I would fire you”. It should be very rare.
AMEN! Reward your friends and they will protect you!
I will never go out to dinner with CrippleCreek or some of these other ignorant perverts because the Service Heros know who they are! and GOD BLESS what they may or may not being served!
They are DISGUSTING!! I am referring to the Cheap Skates and Non Tippers!
SPIT IN YOUR FACE!You have earned it!
And you would be wrong.
I put myself through college waiting table. Never did anything to anybody’s food - but know second hand about some who did. I only said what I said to make the point that all restaurant personnel dislike the non-tippers, they think they are deadbeats and worse.
You have no clue about me - I never expect something I haven’t earned, and I earned every dime I made serving, because I worked by butt off to provide excellent service.
I have a much better job, thank you (if you only knew!), and my time as a server helped me succeed elsewhere.
Your assumptions are so far off base they are pathetic.
BTW - if you don’t want to tip your server, don’t go to those restaurants and expect them to serve you for free.
I don’t make millions so I know how to cook. I won’t STARVE because I may be a pathetic, ignorant idiot, but I know how to cook. People who make millions more than me must not know how to wipe their a** let alone cook a good meal.
And yet you are the one who quickly resorts to name calling - I will claim that as clear evidence that you are unable to defend your immoral position. Game, set, match.
BTW - you misread me. I am far from upset. It is easy for me do discuss moral rights and wrongs without getting upset. You? Apparently not.

I just request everyone to review your pathetic responses!
You are an Arse! Have a great time screwing your wait staff and wonder why they treat you as a pile of sheet! You are pathetic! and I am thrilled to not ever have a chance to meet you! Oh! and keep on stiffing your wait staff! probably explains why you are a total miserable pathetic
person! Is there anyting that has has happened to You in the last forty years that made you happy? I dare say, “NOT!!”
Take a chill pill.
If you want to spit in my face, sent me a private message and I will give you my address. You are so rich you can fly right here to Oregonia Ohio and do it personaly. ROTFL
