That study's been done to death. You can even go read studies that correlate the color of lipstick a women wears to the amount customers will tip.

If this is so then it shouldn't be shocking that certain physical characteristics are part and parcel of being gay.
Who said it wasn't?

More estrogen/testosterone...not news.

Besides, people choose to tip or not tip for many reasons, not all having to do with quality of service.
What reasons would those be?

Just stupid?

See above. Thesis in two words.

All other American waiters.

They aren't "others".

Only the gay army considers homosexuals a distinct group and "different".

Some people are just pathetic.

What's next? Sorry, no tip for you - you're fat and will just spend the money on more food?

Alas, I am sure the social media machine won't stop until they find the family - and there will, undoubtedly, be hell to pay.

Alas, perhaps it's all just fake.
this is what is wrong with social media: no one has a clue if this is real, my guess it probably is not. If I am right, the person who posted it must have an agenda and should be ashamed. If, by some chance it is true, yes, that person is totally out of line and needs to get a life!!!!

Perhaps the customer shouldn't have let the server serve her if she was so against the server's "lifestyle". Apparently the server introduced herself as Dana and the customer said, "I thought you were going to say your name was Dan".

Either way, the customer was a big fat jerk.
again, no matter what she says, we have no clue whether it is true or not. Anyone can say anything, they can claim anything, but that doesn't mean it is real.

If the restaurant manager has any cojones at all, he/she will just ban that customer from the restaurant. Just send him out the moment he goes through the door. The customer did it to himself. Now suffer the consequences.

That would send a message that they support everyone regardless of race, sex preference, etc. It would be the right thing and would bring in a lot of additional customers as well.
I disagree.
This would backfire on the restaurant. Just ask the Alderman in Chicago how the Chik-fil-A fiasco went last year.

This is fake just like 100% of the rest of these things that pop up. The server wrote it for attention because too many LGBT people are attention whores.
