Nov 2013

to see if the amount charged was 93.55 or 111.55. The family could have written in the $18 afterwards to get back at the young woman and try to make people think she's lying. (I do that sometimes when leaving restaurant - I write in the tip on the copy I hand to the restaurant, and then don't on my copy until I get back home...)

Based on the Merchant Copy of the receipt, there was no tip. last1standing Nov 2013 #14

Well she certainly gained a lot finanacially as a result nt B2G Nov 2013 #16

She claims she is donating the money and I have no reason to doubt that, yet. last1standing Nov 2013 #19

No reason to doubt? seveneyes Nov 2013 #22

That is "assuming she is guilty." I'm not assuming that. last1standing Nov 2013 #24

I think there's reasonable doubt. and btw, the same thing about "melting away" cali Nov 2013 #27

It does. Fortunately, I haven't made assumptions either way. last1standing Nov 2013 #34

Actually she claimed that she was going to donate a "portion" of the money. Glassunion Nov 2013 #41

I'm kind of wondering if that too. blogslut Nov 2013 #23

It happens. last1standing Nov 2013 #25

If that's the case, this issue should be easily solved by checking the signature. last1standing Nov 2013 #43

Actually the amount that is pre-approved is typically the base plus 18-20% for a tip Trekologer Nov 2013 #44

I don't any problem saying this: Bigotry is horrible. So are false accusations of bigotry cali Nov 2013 #29

How were they even supposed to have known she was gay? /nt Marr Nov 2013 #32

I seriously doubt that her being gay came up in conversation. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #35
