A waitress in Des Moines, Iowa, was stiffed on a tip by a customer who had a beef with her pink hair.
Taelor May Beeck was working at Zombie Burger on Tuesday when one of her customers came to settle a $17.26 tab.
But the customer didnt leave a gratuity just a gratuitous insult, according to the Des Moines Register.
The receipt read: Tips are only for normal looking people.

I am always skeptical as well. However, if it’s true, he should have requested a normal looking waitress to serve him so that he could tip the normal person appropriately. What I’ve also learned working in the service industry is that some people are pieces of crap who think nothing of taking advantage of people who are “below” them. They don’t realize that they are actually the bottom feeders.
Does she drive a Plymouth Satellite?
“Tipping is not mandatory, and if the customer is offended by the waitress appearance, he is perfectly entitled to leave no tip. Sure, he may be a jerk for doing it”
Tipping is appropriate considering waitresses basically work for tips. If the service was poor, fine. If her hair color was so offensive, he could have asked for another server. Sometimes jerks make up jerk excuses to justify their cheapness. I believe what goes around comes around. Pay back is a **tch.

This article is there to incite two trendy matters: the first is the “need” for expanded equal rights, more appropriately should be called extra rights. The second is the minimum wage expansions. The first item should be DOA. The second is dispensed with the following question: what is a fair minimum wage in your eyes? When you get an answer, simply ask why not twice that?
Exactly. BS meter pegged off the scale as soon as I read the headline.
“””Where Wes there any indication of hate? “””
Different opinion it’s now the new hate.
If the service is good, it's the right thing to do. Wait staff do not get paid minimum wage.
I also tip well. I have never waited tables, but have many children of friends who have. They work hard, deal with difficult people, and still have to serve them. I don’t forget that when at a restaurant.
Me too.
I tend to tip very well, to make up for those jerks who stiff the waiter/waitress.
I agree it’s the right thing to do. I always do and everyone I know always does.
I’m just saying there is no requirement to leave a tip.
People are weird.
Having pink hair is odd and so is not tipping a server at a burger joint because they have pink hair.
Probably another ‘look at meeeeeee’ story though.
It was ok till I saw the bad tattoo of the hamburger on her forearm.
He should write a book:
“How To Get The Help To Spit In Your Food”
Good wait staff in a decent place make more than minimum wage. Many would quit if told they had to work for minimum wage only.
She and the customer probably have the same handwriting.

The customer was a diverse person who prefers to view stiffing as providing justice or some valuable LESSON.
They do that A LOT.
