WAITRESS STIFFED OUT OF TIP BY FAMILY WHO WROTE THE REASON WHY ON THE CHECK

DAYNA MORALES

A family who stiffed a waitress out of a tip on a $100 bill because they didn’t approve of her “lifestyle” may not be welcome back at Gallop Asian Bistro here.
A couple dining with their two middle-school-age children Wednesday made their judgment of Dayna Morales, a Marine veteran, simply by looking at her. They let her know what they thought with a scribbled message on their $93.55 check.

“I’m sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life,” the note reads. “The short hair and clothes just gave it away in her eyes,” Morales, 22, said Thursday evening after she had posted a picture of the check and her own fuming rant on a gay-friendly Facebook page called “Have a Gay Day.”

Her post went viral on the Internet and was picked up by national websites, including the Huffington Post. She said the response has “put a smile on my face.” Morales said when she introduced herself to the family at the table the woman responded, “Oh, I thought you were gonna say your name is Dan. You surprised us!”

Although Dayna was risking her job by posting the check online, her boss has her back…

She said her boss isn’t upset with her posting the check — in fact, the family may not be allowed back at the eatery, which opened about four months ago.

“We are kind of a big family so they all took it to heart. My manager assured me that if they had seen the check before the family left they would have confronted them,” she said.

Anybody bold enough to actually state their bigotry as the reason for not tipping a server deserves to be banned.
