(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.

Women who work in the restaraunt/bar business have told me that women are notoriously bad tippers, unless those women are also in the restaraunt/bar business.
PHONY. Each of the writing examples seems to be written by different people.
I was sold after I watched that scene. The logic was too sound.
70%+ Black
50%+ Latino
30% White
Out-of-wedlkock birthrates. Lots of single moms out there.
Not the same handwriting.
Especially this part:
“I’m very sorry the government taxes their tips, that’s f-—— up. That ain’t my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government -—— in the -— on a regular basis.”
Single mom?
BS. What with her EBT cards, her child support payments, Section 8 housing, WIC assistance, and throw in her free Obama Phone....
The cheap sleaze coulda added a nice tip.
OR Even 10-12 dollars! be interesting to see how many other dinneres she had out over the month! and how many hard working Waitresses/ Waiters and Bar tenders she stiffed!
It’s usually a Demorat Trait! like Biden giving $ 3000.00 +/- TOTAL over a TEN YEAR YEAR PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! DISGUSTING!!
Redistributed your tip to the Obama campaign....................
Maybe she is a Liberal Single Mom who has a six figure job only one kid who is already mostly raised who was conceived by her paying someone 10 grand to stick a turkey baster up her who-who because no man would have her and is a freeking cheapass liberal dirtbag!
That is my take.
If she posts on Free Republic, she probably doesn’t pay for her fair share.
She appears to be one of the entitled ones.
A pet peeve of mine is the conflating of ‘single mom,’ and ‘divorced mom.’
Single means single, never married.
Divorced means once married, now divorced.
Stiffing a waitress is theft.

There are a lot of ways I could reply. It would only get my post pulled, so I’ll be series.
Stiffing a waitress is NOT theft.
fixed it for ya.
DISGUSTING!! I pray the *itch is arrogant enough to go back to that restaurant again! I pray that they will recognize her and add a few cockroaches to her excellent meals!
maybe a worm or two, or an accidental bugger that just happens to accidently fall from a nostril unnoticed?
I had an old lady from a very wealthy section of Nashville try to play the ‘little old widow” card on me. Her house was valued in excess of $1 million.
That's very harsh. There are widows, there are women who have left abusive husbands, there are rape victims and those who decided not to have an abortion. Oh, and there are women whose husbands ran off with the secretary.
We'd have many fewer abortions if fewer people felt single mothers are sluts.
Here’s an interesting question (I don’t have an answer): should libertarians tip?
I can see two sides to that question.
If you don’t have the bucks to pay a $21 tip, you certainly can’t afford a $138 meal.
