155. Her actions
Wed Nov 27, 2013, 04:48 PM
Nov 2013

in this case are a slap in the face to people who really do experience discrimination. And lying about being in combat never goes over well with veterans or their families.

If this ends up in front of a judge, I hope he/she orders Ms. Morales to get therapy.

That happened here a couple times:-pseudo-hate-crime-victimology ErikJ Nov 2013 #1
There is the case of Charlie Rogers last year FrodosPet Nov 2013 #10
This is really too bad question everything Nov 2013 #80
The waitress is probably a victim in all this, too. JimDandy Nov 2013 #116
Happened at my old high school XemaSab Nov 2013 #53
This happens when people see profit from it ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #2
It's damaging to the cases where it is true. Ash_F Nov 2013 #3
I suspect the right wing will waste little time in claiming all such stories are bull. ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #5
Exactly. Don't give them ammunition. /nt Ash_F Nov 2013 #6
It's simple check the handwriting FranMonet Nov 2013 #4
Easier - check the total of her receipt, and check the total charged on the credit card DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #58
It's all in the news report at the link. Jesus Malverde Nov 2013 #66
Had trouble getting link to open but I've read it now. nt DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #95
I prefer to leave my tips on the table in cash. Lasher Nov 2013 #75
I don't ever do that. MicaelS Nov 2013 #89
Yes, in your specific example, which is not the case here from what I read. DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #90
Yes, that is true. Lasher Nov 2013 #96
Yeah, the way this has gone down does suggest that anything might be possible.. DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #106
...the restaurant needs to finish its audit and let the public know if they are at all responsible. MADem Nov 2013 #76
I think you have the answer. MicaelS Nov 2013 #92
Agree. At this point, what you mention is also a possibility. nt DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #93
They have provided a credit card statement. MicaelS Nov 2013 #88
Thanks, hadn't seen the credit card statement. nt DeschutesRiver Nov 2013 #98
Oddly, though, the customer's credit card statement should have shown TWO transactions JimDandy Nov 2013 #117
No, it shouldn't. LisaL Nov 2013 #126
What? No, I eat out all the time... MicaelS Nov 2013 #129
I've never seen two transactions for a restaurant, only the one with the tip included. n/t tammywammy Nov 2013 #130
Depends on the payment vendor...some make the tip a separate transaction. hexola Nov 2013 #145
will be interesting to see if the restaurant can verify whether the bank statement is accurate tomm2thumbs Nov 2013 #7
It's probable these people were picked because they weren't very friendly in the first place nt ProudToBeBlueInRhody Nov 2013 #8
They thought her name was Dan instead of Dayna. LisaL Nov 2013 #33
They say that the person who seated them told them their server would be DAN. MADem Nov 2013 #78
Good point...Is there in fact a server named "Dan" that works here? hexola Nov 2013 #82
Or they misunderstood the seater OrwellwasRight Nov 2013 #87
From the TV report, it seems as if they are calling the server Day - na, not Dan- ah... MADem Nov 2013 #99
I can't say what happened, I'm just saying OrwellwasRight Nov 2013 #104
I get what you're saying, it is just that when I mishear, I might hear Fran or Stan or MADem Nov 2013 #107
The man on the Grassy Knoll did this! randome Nov 2013 #85
I agree, the problem is once the story broke there was outrage over it davidpdx Nov 2013 #9
It could be they are both telling the truth JimDandy Nov 2013 #118
Yeah, I suppose that is possible davidpdx Nov 2013 #131
Not everybody is current on the language to use customerserviceguy Nov 2013 #18
"Tolerate" means putting up with something (or someone) you don't like, right? FrodosPet Nov 2013 #111
No, not always. The Museum of Tolerance isn't about putting up with people. MADem Nov 2013 #141
Thank you customerserviceguy Nov 2013 #144
At times like these, I defer to the dictionary FrodosPet Nov 2013 #149
Even your dictionary definition isn't about "like," though... MADem Nov 2013 #153
People who discriminate rarely leave notes n/t DaveJ Nov 2013 #11
Or if they leave rude notes, they sure as hell shouldn't pay by CREDIT CARD. MADem Nov 2013 #13
Racists and Ignorant people generally are not very smart. /nt Drale Nov 2013 #52
well is these people are ignorant racists, they evidently had the smarts cali Nov 2013 #73
I don't think you can forge a bank statement davidpdx Nov 2013 #132
Twill be interesting to see how this turns out... ReRe Nov 2013 #12
Not likely tho. Zero recs on a review of the case. Just comments so far. Festivito Nov 2013 #16
OH, the poor, persecuted, red-meat slurping heteros in the comments section! HughBeaumont Nov 2013 #14
WTF does that mean? LisaL Nov 2013 #20
Makes sense. penultimate Nov 2013 #108
Exactly. jessie04 Nov 2013 #109
If they did it or not, this post proves one thing- maced666 Nov 2013 #159
if true then maybe a lawsuit or prosecution should be in order Niceguy1 Nov 2013 #15
It appears Dayna is in a world of trouble. jessie04 Nov 2013 #17
It was on the local news here last night. Lucky Luciano Nov 2013 #19
Looking at the handwriting the handwriting looks the same though... Xyzse Nov 2013 #21
What handwriting? LisaL Nov 2013 #22
Must be my eyesight. Xyzse Nov 2013 #23
It happens a lot. The customer takes the origional, signs the wrong copy, figures on the copy and... marble falls Nov 2013 #24
They say they paid her a tip. LisaL Nov 2013 #25
It is possible they realized they had the wrong copy and called the restaurant CBGLuthier Nov 2013 #26
No, it's not possible since restaraunt doesn't have a record of this happening. LisaL Nov 2013 #27
Then the merchant copy in that photo has been doctored. CBGLuthier Nov 2013 #29
I don't think anybody is arguing that both sets of fact can be true. LisaL Nov 2013 #30
OK CBGLuthier Nov 2013 #32
If by "doctored" - you mean somone put a line through the tip and wrote a note hexola Nov 2013 #34
Most good restaurants will automatically add the gratuity for parties of 8 or more... hexola Nov 2013 #31
If they add gratuity, it should be on the receipt. LisaL Nov 2013 #43
So - safe to assume this was a small party...no auto gratuity in play...nt hexola Nov 2013 #47
It was four people. LisaL Nov 2013 #128
Last time I was out (in a baaaaah in downtown Boston), I got THREE copies of my bill. MADem Nov 2013 #81
What's weird though is the signed receipt without a tip written in. whopis01 Nov 2013 #36
Per the article, restaurant didn't produce the original copy of the receipt (to the press). LisaL Nov 2013 #39
See, you may have something there. Xyzse Nov 2013 #40
If restaurant automatically charges a tip, I presume that should be on the receipt. LisaL Nov 2013 #42
Yeah... Xyzse Nov 2013 #44
How do we know if it was or wasn't? LisaL Nov 2013 #45
That's why I placed it in a question mark. Xyzse Nov 2013 #46
Unless I see the original from the restaurant (which they claim they have), but refused to show LisaL Nov 2013 #49
Agreed on waiting to see the original receipt Xyzse Nov 2013 #50
three receipts are sometimes produced B2G Nov 2013 #48
Yes - often, the first receipt (bill) has the suggested tips at the bottom. hexola Nov 2013 #56
If they left the merchant copy blank B2G Nov 2013 #60
The tip might have been written on the first bill...which was left with the merchant copy. hexola Nov 2013 #62
Remember - they have already run your card by the time you are presented with these receipts. hexola Nov 2013 #63
Exactly. The $93.55 clearly shows as already run on these two receipts. JimDandy Nov 2013 #119
The initial "transaction".. sendero Nov 2013 #121
Because it LOOKS like a transaction record. n/t JimDandy Nov 2013 #122
Haven't you ever been to a restaurant? LisaL Nov 2013 #127
As a person who has used credit cards.. sendero Nov 2013 #143
+1,000 - I mentioned this upthread. I think the third one is if you have to file for business MADem Nov 2013 #83
Exactly B2G Nov 2013 #97
I'd even go as far as making sure the "book" with the receipt on is handed to someone davidpdx Nov 2013 #133
duplicate/reprint jakesdad Nov 2013 #61
When/where did she find this note? hexola Nov 2013 #64
It was the reporter's job to ask these questions. JimDandy Nov 2013 #120
That does seem most likely whopis01 Nov 2013 #110
To me, the '5' look like they were written by different people. Captain Stern Nov 2013 #59
I called shenanigans on this one when it happened. AngryAmish Nov 2013 #28
If anybody actually takes the time to watch the video at the link snooper2 Nov 2013 #35
Yep - The Managers are keeping her tips...they wrote the note... hexola Nov 2013 #37
I have no clue as to what you are talking about. LisaL Nov 2013 #38
In my pub, sometimes the hostess (not waitress) will pick up the receipts. hexola Nov 2013 #41
Years ago--well, decades ago--when I was young, before computers and cable TV, MADem Nov 2013 #91
Wow, that is just crap davidpdx Nov 2013 #134
They were pretty shifty when interviewed. I like this angle... Jesus Malverde Nov 2013 #77
This message was self-deleted by its author Jesus Malverde Nov 2013 #84
the "how you live your life..." part indicates someone with personal knowledge... hexola Nov 2013 #86
I noticed that too. Jesus Malverde Nov 2013 #101
That is the most likely scenario. JimDandy Nov 2013 #114
If this is true it's a double scam davidpdx Nov 2013 #135
They never do two transactions--they bill you for your food, by preparing the slip, MADem Nov 2013 #142
If you study your online banking ledger...you will see there are 2 "transactions" hexola Nov 2013 #146
Never have I seen this, and I have ordered out a lot down the years and paid with a card. MADem Nov 2013 #148
The managers sound like they have an accent of some sort... hexola Nov 2013 #55
Yes, restaurant sells chinese food so presumably the manager is Chinese. LisaL Nov 2013 #125
My first impression is not too kind for the server. randome Nov 2013 #51
Jeeze - I think she seems totally honest in the video... hexola Nov 2013 #54
I can't watch the video at work so I can't say I have all the evidence available. randome Nov 2013 #57
But the customer signed the $93.55 amount receipt warrior1 Nov 2013 #65
whoever wrote the note signed that copy of the merchant receipt geek_sabre Nov 2013 #71
Customer seemed to remember the amount of the tip... hexola Nov 2013 #72
The more I think about it I agree 3 is a possiblity davidpdx Nov 2013 #136
how is that clear? cali Nov 2013 #74
this server caused a lot of damage to this business Sunlei Nov 2013 #67
So why are the business owners blaming the customers...? hexola Nov 2013 #68
some business owners do and say stupid things. Now the person can sue the business instead of serve Sunlei Nov 2013 #70
Shame on her if she lied. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #69
I really hope she is innocent in all this... Hosnon Nov 2013 #79
I never write on my customer copy. abelenkpe Nov 2013 #94
I ALWAYS write the tip part on my customer copy - the tip part wont show up in your bank charge... hexola Nov 2013 #100
So why does the $111.55 show up in ONE transaction on the customer's credit card statement? JimDandy Nov 2013 #112
Haven't you gone to a restaurant? It always shows as one transaction. LisaL Nov 2013 #124
They just put a hold on the card. Mojo Electro Nov 2013 #152
I might not always write in the tip, but I'll put the total so I know what to expect on a statement. MADem Nov 2013 #102
The original Facebook post Jesus Malverde Nov 2013 #103
WOW! It is obviously a different handwriting from signature to slur FrodosPet Nov 2013 #139
Reading on Have a Gay Day Facebook page SaltyBro Nov 2013 #105
Link please? davidpdx Nov 2013 #137
Here. LisaL Nov 2013 #150
Might be a case of theft from the server by someone at the restaurant nt kristopher Nov 2013 #113
Why do I get the feeling that..... AverageJoe90 Nov 2013 #115
Yea, lets trust your feeling for no apparent reason. LisaL Nov 2013 #123
In the video - the customers said they didn't vote for Christie... hexola Nov 2013 #147
No, let's be skeptical for good reason, until we can positively solve this mystery. AverageJoe90 Nov 2013 #157
After reading through this and seeing the updated story I'm still conflicted davidpdx Nov 2013 #138
Did the waitress have a Politicalboi Nov 2013 #140
It looks like this woman has problems. bitchkitty Nov 2013 #151
Oh dear, she does seem to be a bit of a fabulist.. MADem Nov 2013 #154
Her actions bitchkitty Nov 2013 #155
Yes. And there is something deeply wrong going on, there. MADem Nov 2013 #156
OTOH, it shows that gays are no different from the rest of us. randome Nov 2013 #158
