I looked at the receipt closely, there's no place for the name on the card or a place blacked out that could have been the name. Looks staged to me.

Well this is one way people who are rich stay rich. Most wealthy people are very tight with there money, tip the minimum they can get by with. My in-laws know a wealthy couple and when they go out to eat, they always order something that is just as expensive as what my in-laws order and always want to split the check evenly.

Why to speed up the eventual revolution in this country. When enough people are suffering enough, that's when the country will begin to destablize with rioting and civil unrest. The lawyers and bankers will go first.

And we wonder why people can be so gullible, even after something has been exposed as a hoax.
Get with the update! Should we have the mod edit title with an asterik saying HOAX? People are embarassing themselves.

I came to the same conclusion when I read it about 5 times in this very thread that is was proven a hoax.

I bet people do that mess, more often than we think.
Shame on those arrogant jerks. Karma will get them. It always does.
