Red Lobster Waitress Suspended After Posting Customer’s ‘Racist’ Receipt On Facebook : Sandra Rose

Pretty sad attempt at playing the race card, if you ask me.

Just another attention seeking, narcisistic, millenial at work.
ANd she is going to be a nurse? Well if I ever get sick at her hospital I will ensure she is not my nurse.
she would only care about herself.

Normally I disagree with you on a variety of topics, but on this particular one I agree with you. Not sure why the outrage of posting someone's receipt copy is a big deal. Granted, Red Lobster can probably get sued from some B.S. invasion of privacy crap from the racist customer, but, I have a feeling this particular customer will do whatever it takes to keep a low profile.

If this whole thing is true, and I have no reason to believe it's not, then it's a shame that the waitress has to be put on paid leave. I realize the Red Lobster has to protect itself, but I hope they support her while she is out and welcome her back when this blows over.

I just wish she didn't bring up her knock on the southern states. Racism exists everywhere unfortunately.

I think more facts need to surface. However if this is a true receipt , someone did something in very bad taste, my feelings on this. And was a handwriting expert brought in. Hate to say it but in these cases, there should be, with the many lawsuits filed today.

It is either likely that she did, or she did not, that is why it makes sense to bring a handwiriting expert in.

Lmao oh so the written slur suppose to match the signed signature? lololol

Amazing how so many are assuming this is a hoax and are insulting the waitress. Just pathetic all the way around. Not sure why I'm surprised at some folks here.

Not going to read this whole thread so sorry if this has been said.

With the transaction number and auth code, it is very simple to track the final tally (which would indicate a tip). One permitted access to do the search could easily verify the legitimacy of this.

How sad is it if this were manufactured? And how sad would if be if someone so enraged would go out and senselessly muss-up a cracker over it?

Either way it's stokin racial tension but please, let us find out who's doing the stoking before jumping to conclusions.

Actually, I do think this is sad. That waitress could be on welfare instead but she is working. As for those able bodied people collecting welfare people call them lowlifes (black or white).
I don't think anyone thinks it's okay to call whites names? Where did you get that?

Any sane and level headed black person would agree that it's not okay to call whites.

I will say, people will do what they want. Therefore just because you've been called a name by some black, that doesn't mean the entire black race thinks it's okay. I know whites like you seem to pull that argument out.

I've been cut off on the highway by white people, does that mean all whites agree it's okay to cut blacks off on the highway? No, of course not, that would be utter stupidity.

Not commenting on whether it's real or not, but many people have signatures that don't match their regular handwriting. Frequently, they do it on purpose; I knew a property manager whose signature looked like a 6 year old's drawing of a mountain range. His handwriting was messy, but normal cursive.

The bubbly letters appear more feminine in the "comments."
The signature does not appear like most women's sigs I have seen.
I of course could be way off in this instance...I just see a lot of writing and signatures to compare.

I agree.

The signature definatly looks more masculin and the total line more feminin in my uneducated opinion.
