Recall the racist Red Lobster receipt story a month back? HOAX

[ShootSpeeders]

This happens all the time. The controlled media always plays up the "victim of racism" angle and buries the followup that shows it was all a hoax.

Racist Red Lobster receipt may be hoax, analysts say | The Daily Caller

10/30/2013

The racial slur a Red Lobster waitress claimed to receive on a receipt in lieu of tip may have been a hoax, according to two separate handwriting analyses.

One handwriting analyst concluded that whoever wrote “none” on the tip line was not the same person who wrote the racial epithet. The second analyst believes the racist comment could have been written by the waitress herself.

Toni Christina Jenkins, a server at a Red Lobster in Franklin, Tennessee, posted a picture on her Facebook page of a receipt with the word “none” written in the area usually reserved for a tip.

Below that, the word “******” was scrawled.

The receipt clearly showed the name of the customer, Devin Barnes, who is white. Jenkins, who is black, said that she was not aware that Barnes’ name was shown on the receipt and posted it online to make a point about racism, not to target Barnes.

But Barnes, 20, denied writing the derogatory word.

Barnes, who was dining at the Red Lobster with his wife, did acknowledge that he wrote the “none” portion on the receipt. He said that he and his wife had to leave in a hurry and had to get their food to go.

Barnes’ attorney and pastor, Richard Dugger, hired Thomas Vastrick, an independent handwriting expert who has worked as a specialist for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, to compare the receipt to writing samples provided by Barnes and his wife.

Vastrick determined that it was “more likely than not” that whoever wrote “none” was not the same person who wrote the racist word.

“There is evidence to indicate that Devin Barnes (K-1) did not write the Total entry on Exhibit Q-1,” he concluded.

Dugger said that he plans to file a lawsuit against “responsible parties,” possibly as early as next week.

“It’s scary to think people get away with this kind of stuff,” Dugger told The Daily Caller News Foundation

HAHAHA. Does this idiot expect anyone to believe she didn't see his name???

The intelligent knew it was a hoax from the beginning. NOW the waitress should be fired, instantly.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Should've left a tip.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

Should've left a tip.

The white boy says he ordered the meal to go. Do you tip at the BK drivethru?

Who the hell would ever believe what a cracker says?

Oooh see what I did there?

Not if it wasn't earned .

 

[Moonglow]

If the order was to go, no waitress would be needed.

 

[Vidor]

If the customer had been black no tip would have been expected. They don't do tips.

Oh yeah there we go

That's a lie. My wife and I always leave 15 to 20%...and if we are on vacation, even more.

You sound like some pissed off waiter who works at Denny's cleaning tables.

They sat down at a table, but then had to leave unexpectedly.

Sorry to tell you, but if you're black you're the exception, not the rule. I waited tables for three years while in college and Vidor is correct. Black people notoriously tip horribly. I don't know the reason for it, but I would estimate about out of every ten black customers you'll be lucky to get more than 10% from maybe two of them. Anyone who has waited tables will tell you the same thing.

Lol, obviously i am black or I would not have commented on such an ignorant generalization. The tips you received probably was based more on the type of establishment you worked at. If it was just a mediocre place. you probably did get stiffed or felt you did.

When we dine out, we normally spend anywhere between 100.00 to 150.00 on ourselves, and if we take people with us much more. And our friends and relatives all tip the same.

So no, even if you did wait tables, I would bet that I personally know and socialize with more black people than you do and all that I know are generous to "the help".

Why do you leave more on a vacation, then your local places?

It's called spending a little more if you are somewhere memorable. Not only that, if you are not a regular customer waiters and servers in general treat you better if you are just visiting. Most people who travel do that, I thought.


For example, every year for the past 20 years, we go to Pismo Beach for a week, it's an expensive resort that we stay at, but we tip the housekeepers well, and they do extra nice things for us. when we leave there, we spend a week in San Francisco as well and do the same, and get treated very well there too.
Same when we go out of the country

On the other hand, at our local places we also give Holiday gifts to employees and offer them discounts at our own business, in addition to tipping generously. Not to mention that we send a lot of new customers in.

Where I live it's the not like that, the regulars get treated better.

I live in Los Angeles, what part of Cali are you from?

She spent the $10,000 already. She had to spend it before she was ordered to give it back after being proven to be the one who wrote the slur.

I go to Los Angeles a lot, have some family there. I attended Pepperdine over in Malibu. And my wife attended USC. I now live in the city of Corona. Prior to living here I lived in Alta Loma for many years near Chaffey College and taught there twice a week.

I can understand how regulars are treated better in some places. But in areas that rely on tourism it's always been the opposite for me. They seem to take the regulars for granted and always want to know what it's like where you came from.
