Red Lobster suspends waitress after she was insulted with a racial slur

[Asclepias]

There are too many false accusations coming from the black community these days. I'm at the point now where I just can't believe any of it anymore. Odds are, in a week or two we will find out this was a hoax.

If that turns out to be true, I will be the first to admit I was wrong. My guess is that the white racists and the latent white racists will still try and find some angle to say the Black person was at fault.

she was - she made public the private information.

even if he wrote the word ( unlikely, but let's just assume as a possibility) - she did not have the right to post his personal info on the web

She definitely had the right. She just will have to deal with the consequences of doing it if any.

Given that I have seen a sample of her handwriting, I have to say it looks like she didn't write it.

Now that you have a longer sample of his handwriting, are you willing to admit that he didn't write it either?

His apology letter is not handwriting, it's printing. And if he wrote the "none" on the receipt, I don't think he wrote that apology letter. Look at the "n"s they're totally different. I think that apology letter is a bunch of bullshit, meant to cover up what he did in anger, and probably printed out by someone else, not him. Because when I look at his signature on that receipt, it looks like he was angry when he signed his name.

Let me make it really simple for you, he did not write the slur. Just looking at the word none on the receipt I could tell that he is a graduate of a school system that did not stress penmanship, and that he never learned cursive. Additionally, the e in none and the slur were completely different, obviously written by two different people.

The apology letter simply served to confirm that opinion.

He seems to have learned some cursive for his signature. Look at the "D." Totally cursive.

Look at his signature, which consists entirely of initials and scribbles, and show me the cursive.

let me see a custmer wrote some thing that they should not have that was rude on a recept. some how it got into the hands of the father when it should not have, and the father posted it on face book when he should not have becuse he took offence when it wes not worth the trubble and she got fired. So how many wrongs is that, I lost track?

The OP was wrong. The waitress posted the receipt on Facebook. She was not fired. The guy who's identity and last 4 digits of his credit card number has gone viral says he didn't write the "n" word. He wrote "none" on the tip line because it was a "to go" order which is admitted by the restaurant and the waitress. Most people say the "none" and the "n" word were not written by the same person, so she slandered his character for more than $10,000 in donations she's gotten on line for that picture.


So lets see, taking a picture of someone's credit card receipt, wrong #1, posting it on Facebook, wrong #2, getting rewarded with donations for those 2 wrongs, wrong #3. A person who will post someone's personal information on line while going to nursing school, wrong #4. I count 4, how many do you count?

I hope whatever school she is in is watching her like a hawk. If she is unethical enough to publish confidential financial information then she is also unethical enough to publish your medical records.

I haven't asked any friend in the 'ville' what school she goes to. Not sure I really want to know.

actually the HR people in the hospitals are most likely taking notes about this potential nurse.

I can bet she will have problems with finding the job in a good place - nobody wants a shitty employee with a big mouth and problems with work ethics.

Wow, you can tell somebody is angry or is covering something up just by looking at their handwriting? You're really smart! Or maybe just full of shit.

Well, sometimes you can, but not by someone's signature. In many cases people purposely make them difficult to read because it's harder to forge that way. I know my signature is nothing like my writing and I dare anybody to be able to read it.

nope, she did not. it's a violation of the policies at work.

which will backfire at her later - I can guarantee you that

Instead Of Standing By Their Employee, Red Lobster Suspends Waitress Who Received 'None N****r' As A Tip -

Red Lobster might really be in trouble this time. We just reported on how a waitress, Tori Christina Jenkins, received ‘None, N****r’ instead of a tip this past weekend from racist customers at the Franklin, TN Red Lobster where she works. Now, instead of standing behind Jenkins, Red Lobster has suspended her, citing a violation of company policy as the reason.

A spokesman for Red Lobster, Mike Bernstein, said in an email to the Huffington Post that suspension with pay is “standard procedure” when company policy is violated. In this case, the violation would be publicly posting a receipt, which Jenkins’ father did, on Facebook, Sunday night, with a status message saying “that we still have much ignorance to overcome.”

What is wrong with scum racists like this customer?

Its certainly no hardship to boycott Red Lobster. Their food is made to appeal to people who like fat, sugar and grease and I haven't eaten there in many years. Never will again.

The sad thing is, after learning about this, more and more scum racists will flock to Red Lobster is some kind SICK solidarity.

First off it was one dumb ass customer!

Second, she violated a policy that she shouldn't have as was suspended WITH PAY!!! She wasn't fired nor is she losing any money (they compensate based on average earnings, meaning what her tips would have been). I work in corporate compliance and we have a strong policy against employees doing unauthorized publicity. Doesn't matter if the publicity helps the company, you can get terminated for it.

Third, you are bashing are white (and we don't even know the race of the customer, the customer could easily be a brother) based on one customer. How about this black customer.

Fourth, who knows if it was real. She could have easily done it herself!

Lastly, Red Lobster is one of the healthest of all the restaurants out there. Crab, Lobster, Grilled or Broiled Fish, their grilled chicken, their steamed vegetables etc are all low fat, low cal, low carb and lower in sodium then other places. Of course when you eat the biscuits, calm chowder, fried food it becomes unhealthy, but Red Lobster has more healthy meals than another other joynt out there!

No, I didn't say I could tell someone was covering something up just by looking at their handwriting. I said that it "looks to me" like he was angry when he signed his name. And yes, I do see what could be indications of anger. You don't have to believe me, I don't care.

Oh, and P.S. I AM really smart.

If you were really smart, you wouldn't have to tell us.

Don't you see the smiley face? Don't you recognize "teasing" when you see it?

One thing we know, Sunshine, and I think even you will have to admit...I am smart enough to have learned my grammar, spelling and punctuation in school.

All I'm saying is, how many dumb people do you know that express themselves in writing as well as I do? Of course, I can't take all the credit for that. My parents were both schoolteachers and they would smack me upside the head (figuratively speaking, of course) if I didn't get this stuff right.

I think he wrote "******" and is getting what he deserves. There may be more to come. I'll bet he's sorry he did that.

As for her, I think she's getting what she deserves...in the form of $10,000 donations so far! Right on!

And to whoever made the comment how she "managed" to take a picture of the receipt...I don't think I know anyone whose cell phone doesn't have a camera. So it would have been extremely easy for her to snap a quick shot of the receipt. I don't blame her, I would have too.

So you would have no problem with a nurse posting your personal information on the internet because she felt you insulted her? In fact, you think she should be rewarded for such behavior?

Do you know that the last 4 numbers are the most important numbers on your card? The rest they can find out pretty easily but not those last 4 numbers, that's the part that is unique to the individual and therefore the part they use. The customer should cancel that card and quick, if he hasn't already. She should pay for any inconvenience he has for having to get another card.

What she deserves is to be fired for posting a customers personal information on the internet. This will seriously affect her ability to find a job in nursing, as it should.

 

[PrometheusBound]

I don't know how anyone can read "Devin Barnes" from the receipt, or any other name for that matter. She must have gotten it from his credit card and then posted it on the Internet.

Well the N in none is not the same as the N in negger

The biggest glaring difference in the writing is that the word "none" is on the line while the "n" word slants upwards. In her school notes, her words slant upwards. In his letter to the restaurant, his words are all on the line. I think she wrote the "n" word and has made more than $10k for unsuspecting people for her trouble. I hope the guy hires a handwriting expert and puts sues both her and the restaurant for slander, or is it libel? Whatever it's called when you tell lies about a person's character and put it in writing.

ding ding ding....we have a winner!

 

[Polk]

For those saying "Red Lobster had a legal right to suspend her", I don't think anyone here is really arguing against that. What's being argued is if Red Lobster should have suspended her. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.

No, she didn't. What makes you think she had a right to post the last for numbers of his credit card and his name on the web?

First, let's clarify what "right" we're talking about here. The right to what?

 

[Againsheila]

I don't know how anyone can read "Devin Barnes" from the receipt, or any other name for that matter. She must have gotten it from his credit card and then posted it on the Internet.

Look at the top of the receipt, where his card information is, his name is neatly printed by the machine.

 

[Againsheila]

She posted a customers private information on the net. Any reasonable person would think that was grounds for suspension, if not firing.

He seems to have learned some cursive for his signature. Look at the "D." Totally cursive.

Look at his signature, which consists entirely of initials and scribbles, and show me the cursive.

Cursive capial D:



Now look at his signature again. It begins with a very distinct, cursive capital D. The "none" and the "******" are printed.

I use both cursive and printing, depending on my mood or what I'm doing.

I use both as well, and also in one sentence.

However, a letter R is usually a given for a person - I have yet to see anybody using both types, even that somebody uses both cursive and typing styles.
