[image][/image]
Eddy Cabrera, a waiter at Chellys Cafe in Kansas City, Missouri got an unexpected surprise from a table of homophobic customers too busy lovin Jesus to love their fellow man. After the group treated Cabrera disrespectfully, they didnt leave a tip on their $84 check and instead left an anti-gay note.
Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! the group wrote on a napkin that Cabrera found after the group left the restaurant. Cabrera, who was raised in Guatemala, didnt understand the message at first until a friend explained it to him.
His friend, Jonathon Antle, who posted a photo of the note on Facebook that Cabrera almost started crying when he understood what the group had written. This is his livelihood, and they treated him like dirt the entire time, Antle said. They just took food off of his table instead of treating him with basic human decency.

After the story blew up, internet sleuths tracked down Tonisha Flowers, the woman who signed the credit card slip. In an update on the photo, Antle says she has apologized to Cabrera, saying it was someone else who wrote the note. No word on whether she came back to give the hardworking waiter a tip on that $84 bill.

Has any of these turned out to be real?

These fools don't seem to realize that.
My heart goes out to Cabrera.

(46,179 posts)I was working a second job waiting tables to pay the rent. I worked a Sunday night shift. I got the station nobody wanted, because that's where the local church gathered after Sunday evening services.
They would have all the tables pushed together into one long table, end to end, taking up the entire floor. The adults sat there.
Then they sent their kids to sit in the booths around the outside of the tables.
The adults would order pie and coffee, all separate checks for individuals or couples, want their coffee refilled continuously, and leave a coin for a tip. Some left no tip. Some a dime. Some even a quarter.
The kids? They ordered french fries, desserts, and drinks. All on separate checks. They played with everything in every booth; salt, pepper, condiments, etc., making a grand mess to clean up IN EVERY BOOTH. Their parents gave them cash to pay their checks with. They left NO tip. They left, for each check, big piles of dollar bills and change for me to sort through to see if any change needed to be returned, and take to the register for them, etc..
I never got notes, although they did want to "witness" every time I filled their coffee. Still, they were the people nobody wanted to serve. Since I was the part-timer, I got stuck.
