She felt entitled to a tip. She got nothing. She was very mad.

She or her friend wrote that —it gave them emotional satisfaction.

This happens A LOT.

if you look letter for letter at the word NONE they do look like the letters in the apology letter.

If you look at the writing and letters of the word n****r you can see it was written with a different pen, and NONE of the letter look similar to the letters in the apology letter

SHE FAKED IT!! Lets see a sample of her handwriting

Another racist HOAX

No, they do not.
The "none" and "n-word" are different handwriting. Compare the 'e's and the 'r's.

Nope. Not sure the signatures do either.

According to Mr. Barnes’ letter he and his wife purchased “meal(s) to go”. Are tips expected when you pick up a meal to go?

On second view, they do line up. Compare the capital ‘N’ and the lower case ‘g’.
Too similar.

Only an observation from reading the article - not commenting about the receipt.

They said they only wanted their food and to put it in to-go boxes - makes me wonder if the service was a wee bit slow and that is what prompted the "none" tip.

We see this time and time again because the loftiest attainment for child-like blacks in America is to be elevated from being an honorary victim of racism by birthright, to a confirmed victim. It’s an entire cottage industry, and personally I’m embarrassed for those black grown-ups that I know.

There have been too many hoaxes like this.

As far as I'm concerned, the waitress would have to jump through a whole lot of hoops in order to prove her innocence to me. Yeah, that's completely bass-ackwards, but in today's climate I just have to assume that someone if playing the "I'm a victim of racism" game -- and I am so thoroughly done with that.

Wow. I had thought the guy was innocent until you posted that handwritten note of his. The letters do indeed look like his writing, including the difference between his lower-case and upper-case “N’s”.

the “g”s in the “N_____r” word on the receipt have hooks in them, those in his letter don’t. In addition, his “e”s in his letter “lean” forward, the “e” on the receipt is slanted backwards...

I say hoax...

The n’s and the e’s are definitely different in ‘none’ and ‘n-word’.

The “er” in the N word on the receipt are connected. None of the words with “er” next to each other in the statement are connected. In my opinion he didn’t write it.

Not a forensics expert, but this being a “to go” order sometimes those merit a tip, sometimes it’s handled in a way that does not suggest a tip.

When I only deal with the cashier or there is no service meriting a tip (like fast food) I make a point of drawing a line through the “tip” space, and writing in the total.

Just saying sometimes on a take out order there is no reason for a tip as it wouldn’t go to anyone who prepared the order.

So these waitresses get to take receipts home?

What's wrong with this picture?

Toni was paid $2.13 an hour, but had to pay taxes on that check, and likely had to share up to 30% of the nonexistent tip with other restaurant staff.

which means that unless it took her half an hour to box up that meal, Toni actually paid to serve those customers. Raist or not, stiffing your server is not okay.
**************************
That is NOT true!

What is the minimum wage for workers who receive tips?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires payment of at least the federal minimum wage to covered, nonexempt employees. An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 an hour in direct wages if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the federal minimum wage, the employee retains all tips and the employee customarily and regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips. If an employee’s tips combined with the employer’s direct wages of at least $2.13 an hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference.

Some states have minimum wage laws specific to tipped employees. When an employee is subject to both the federal and state wage laws, the employee is entitled to the provisions which provides the greater benefits.

the “e” on the receipt looks exactly like the “e” in the last word in the letter. I think the customer did it. Although this has been news for over a week now. Big deal. Never let that customer into the place again. Problem solved.

compare the e in ‘none’ and ‘nigger’. same loop. g hook is also similar to the g’s in his essay.

Grab the waitresses application for the job and compare the handwriting.
