Black NKY server says he was left without a tip, "All Lives Matter" message instead
by Alexa Helwig, WKRC Wednesday, June 17th 2020



Alex Williams is a server at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Newport. After serving a family on June 8, they left a receipt with no tip and the message “All Lives Matter.” Williams is wondering what he did to deserve it.

“For some people, you can just tell you're not going to be able to make them happy, necessarily. And it just was progressively worse and worse,” said Williams.

Williams said the woman he was serving got frustrated because he couldn’t keep up with her drink refills.

“I wasn't able to keep that stocked fast enough for her, and that was reason enough for her to yell at me from across a couple of tables when I'm greeting another table,” he said.

Williams got management involved to try and calm the situation. He has worked in the restaurant industry for nearly two decades. He said anything he did to provoke this message was unintentional.

He was black and wasn't jumping as fast as she'd like so she/they meanly retaliated.

Been burned jumping on the outrage bandwagon with these alleged racist receipts only to find out they're hoaxes.

If the diners believe that 'All Lives Matter', wouldn't they want to give him a tip to he can fund his life?
