A really disturbing trend

[catcul]

Also, why would such a person bring up something so easily determined to be false to their manager?

The reason people pick crime over honest work is that they get the bonus of feeling clever (even if they're not clever at all) for cheating the system, or something.

Does that answer your question?

Does that answer your question?

No. It's a flip answer to an honest question.

You're right, that was a flip answer. I will admit while I believe that she's running a scam, it doesn't mean that she *is* running a scam. You should be willing to admit that the couple may be telling the truth.

Your typical waitress in the US (she lives in New Jersey) makes $2.13/hr+tips. She may have seen what happened with the waiter in Kansas. Many people believe they are smarter than they really are.

When I worked as a cashier in a restaurant, my manager counted my till quickly. All she was really worried about was that the money in my till matched my numbers. It's quite possible that the manager she showed the receipt to and the manager that counted her take were not the same person.

The real truth is that we really don't know what the real story is, and we never know the real story.

Tracing wouldn't explain the incorrect slant on the signature, nor would it explain the matching writing for both signature and comment.

Also, why would such a person bring up something so easily determined to be false to their manager?

the customer copy has no writing(aside from numbers-which are totally different from the one's on the merchant copy), so it's possible all the writing, including the signature is the servers, or another server in the restaurant.

and if she reprinted the receipt, wrote on it to show her manager, it's not entirely unthinkable that she figured she wouldn't get caught passing the actual receipt with her daily close(or entering the tip, and then making the false copy), Depends on the restaurant's policy of who enters the totals for the servers at shift end. Also the restaurant can't produce the original(with the statement), which they are required to keep for a specific timeframe in the event of disputes. Possibly the manager is in on it as well?

I don't think she's trying to run a scam, and I believe the family is telling the truth.

I honestly think that someone else that she works with did this. Perhaps the same person who told the family that their server would be named "Dan."

Meh, was waiting for this to happen. It seems like these stories always end up being fake.

[Pixilated]

Here's more on the matter. Apparently her friends are saying she's a habitual liar ... up to and including lying about serving in a combat zone.

[thealmightymalachi]

It's not -exactly- like claiming to be a combat vet who served with honor and distinction in the United States Armed Forces...

...wait a second...oh, well, yes, yes it is, I suppose.

Credit card fraud, faking a transaction, making a big stink about how nobody treats you fairly when you lie about who did what to you because you happen to be a member of (insert minority here)?

Yeah, I'm thinking this woman isn't going to be finding a job in the service sector anytime soon. Because even if she's in the right (which seems about as likely as a member of Focus on the Family funding a Gay Pride parade float in SF next year) I somehow doubt anyone will take a risk on her working with money, or anything approaching "responsibility".

I feel really sorry for her, actually, but at the same time I'm kind of glad the fake got exposed for what it is. Too many gay and lesbians I know get screwed over at work for being who they are to tolerate someone who fakes it for their own personal agenda.

This comment from the Marines says ALOT while saying nothing to incriminate themselves.

A spokesman for the Marines, Major Shawn Haney, said in an email that Morales… was assigned to the Marine Air Group 49, 4th Marine Air Wing out of Newburgh and deployed from April to June 2012 to Romania as part of the Black Sea Rotational Force 11.
“There is no indication of combat service in Iraq or Afghanistan,” he added in a follow-up email. Also, “While (Morales) did not fulfill her reserve obligation, per the Privacy Act, administrative actions are not releasable. The same applies to character of service and type of discharge.”

If she was Honorably Discharged, they would have no problem saying it.

I spent a year in a "combat zone". The only thing I was in danger from was traffic, diesel fumes, and crappy food (I lost 25 pounds!). A lot of people brag about it but in reality so many people in combat zones are desk jockeys.

Saying Romania is a war zone is a slap in the face to veterans who have actually been in combat zones and faced combat.

People who flew to Plotsizi (spelling?) and back (but didn't land there) in the early '40s definitely served in a war zone. Romania in the 21st century? Pretty much garrison duty.

That story seems to vindicate me for saying that I thought she was running a scam. If she's willing to falsely accuse her father of a horrific crime, lying about having terminal cancer and serving in a combat zone, then she's willing to lie about homophobia to achieve her aims.

After the first story about a waiter not receiving a tip because he was gay made me wonder if there would be a copy cat waiter/waitress doing this to get fame and attention. I guess I was right, unfortunately.

I think there is more to this story but we may never find out what it is.

This might be a new message for stiffing a waiter. A waiter in Tennessee heard these three customers talk about the football game between the University of Alabama and Auburn University. Auburn won that game 34-28.

They wrote that he was getting nothing because he was an Auburn fan. When a reporter caught up with the waiter, he said that those customers called the restaurant claiming that the waiter tried to write in a $4 tip. The restaurant looked over the receipts and found the claim false.

Just because your team lost, you shouldn't act like a jackass.

And things just get worse for the waitress...
