Here's a tip that will save you a lot of time. Any time you see something like this in the MSM -- where a server is claiming discrimination based on race, gender, sexual preference, etc. -- just assume it's bullshit and move on. If you're feeling particularly brave, be sure to tell everyone within earshot that it's bullshit too.
So now, because one twisted individual perhaps used some of those other instances as a way to get attention/money for herself, we should assume EVERYONE is a liar? I don't recall any other people accused of this coming up with proof that they DIDN'T write something like that on their receipt.
I agree with you. This isn't a reason to believe that all people in a certain category are liars. Some people actually are discriminated against or mistreated, although not often enough to satisfy this attention whore.
That being said, the credit card payment that the couple has on record (I believe the card company has confirmed) was for a total higher than what the recipe produced by the waitress stated.
They were billed for an amount that surely included a tip.
That's part of my point. These folks produced proof that the waitress was a liar about not tipping. That pretty much made it obvious that SHE wrote the supposedly offending message on the receipt herself. Not the case in those other instances of this that got picked up by the media. Those restaurants investigated and found the employee did in fact write, or in some cases entered the offending message into the register so that it printed on the receipt.
