Family disputes gay server's story

14. Based on the Merchant Copy of the receipt, there was no tip.

Leaving aside the comment, which could have been easily written in after the fact, there is no tip listed on the Merchant Copy of the receipt. This is rather problematic as it means one of two things:

1). The customer wrote the tip on only the Customer Copy. While this is the easiest answer, it doesn't account for the billing statement showing an $18.00 tip.

2). The waitress, or someone else in the restaurant, created a new copy of the receipt which was then filled in with homophobic comments to create this stir.

I haven't seen proof that a tip was actually left but if the customer is willing to show the CC statement, which it sounds like they have done, things begin to point to a manipulation of the receipt.

So the final question becomes whether the waitress did it looking for attention or whether a co-worker did it as a way to harass the waitress?

I won't make any guesses as to what happened till the proof comes out but it does appear that someone has manipulated a document or two.
