There's no law against stupidity. The jackass who left the note explaining why the server's homosexuality was reason enough to deny a tip did more to expose his small minded bigotry than to hurt that particular server. Now everyone knows what a useless waste of working organs he is.

We went out of our way to eat at Carrabba’s tonight. I made sure to tip very well. I hope it was the same waiter.

Being gay is not natural.

I know this quote will make alot of uproar...might not.


No uproar really..but simple common sense dictates this..even though science already provides reams of evidence for it..

Homosexuality occurs all throughout the animal kingdom..

So obviously it is a natural occurring tendency among social animals of all types..including human beings..

The only creature who thinks 'he' knows more than GOD...

Or in other words the truly ignorant 'ones'...

As other animals are never separated from GOD..only human animals live this hell of collective intelligence and illusions that come from the newer phenomenon of abstract language...

A growl gets the job done..in the animal kingdom...

Oh..and yeah..I love to growl..you ought to hear me roar..I am very loud..like a Tiger..seriously I'm not kidding on that one..

As I Am in touch with GOD all the time NOW..

Just like my CAT

And yes I am completely serious..there is also science in what I am saying...

And not that It really matters..but my CAT is not gay..but he has a good friend that is naturally gay....

Another report of customers refusing to tip gay servers, this time in New Jersey:

I wonder if they're not just cheapskates using bigotry to justify holding onto a few bucks.

Unlikely. Gratuities are so engrained into the American psyche when it comes to restaurants I doubt many in the states actively try to get out of tipping for the sake of saving money.

With the exception of Mr Pink in that scene in Reservoir Dogs.

Quote:
A television news report sheds doubt on a gay New Jersey restaurant server’s claim that a customer denied her a tip because of her ‘lifestyle’ by producing a receipt that indicates otherwise.

NBC 4 out of New York reports that it has an original receipt and credit card statement produced by family members who ate at the restaurant that night and insist they did leave a tip and did not scrawl on their receipt: “I’m sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle.”

The story gained national attention after Dayna Morales, a former Marine and employee at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, Somerset County, N.J., sent an image of a receipt with the writing to the organization Have A Gay Day, which posted it on the group's Facebook page.

"Tips" then poured in from across the country, and Morales told CNN that she received more than $2,000.

But NBC 4 said it contacted a family who said the server showed, what appeared to be in their eyes, an altered copy of their original receipt. The family members said they are not anti-gay, and, in fact, voted against Chris Christie for his stand on same-sex marriage.

The husband and wife, who asked to remain anonymous, have a receipt printed at the same minute, on the same date, for the same $93.55 total - but with an $18 tip. The couple also produced a Visa bill confirming they were charged a total of $111.55 by the restaurant and believe their original receipt was doctored.

looks like the waitress faked the whole thing

That sucks. The cynic in me isn't surprised that some people might want to take advantage of gay people being discriminated against for their own benefit. It's also slander against the customers, too. Sad.

Someone suggested it could of been the manager or someone stealing tips or something too. Somebody has some explaining to do for sure.

If that's indeed the case, then that's really low. :x

The bible is very clear on the issue of homosexuality:

If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Witholding a tip is not harsh enough punishment for such a grave sin. You heard the bible: the only sufficient punishment is death.

Due to having Asperger's, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.

It is a distinct possibility. There are people of all views on these forums; so it isn't always possible to tell if someone is joking or being serious, so best not to make such jokes. Those who do express homophobia get banned from the site as it is against the site rules.

Actually, as on many topics, the bible of the old testament is contradicting itself, when it comes to homosexuals.

So in Leviticus 20:13 ""If a man lies with a man as he would with a woman, they should both be stoned.". you are told by god to smoke a joint before having homosexual sex, which I think is not a so horrible condition.
