Lambda Legal Files Complaint for Anti-LGBT Slur on Restaurant Receipt | Lambda Legal

Complaint | Lambda Legal

After entering the bar and sitting down at a table, the group, which included gay men and several transgender women, was ignored despite every other table in the establishment getting table service. To get drinks and a hookah, they were forced to make trips to - and order from - the bar.

So, they were served...at the bar.
They got their drinks and a hookah...at the bar.
Then they were offended because somebody expressed their opinion when they printed the receipt.
poor babies...

On second look, I find the "Automatic Gratuity $21.42" a lot more objectionable than the comment! I would never go back to THAT place!

Is there going to be a thread every time there is one of these incidents? Why wait a year to post
about something that happened last summer?

So how did the bar know these people were LGBT?

Oh, I know: They flounced around advertising themselves!

If they had acted like decent, civilized people, nobody would have known and everybody would be happy.

They got hurt feelings is what they got.

They had a running tab at the bar.
The waitress brought them the bill.

Did the waitress just decide by herself to close out their tab at the bar ?

And bar tab closeouts have a "Your server was ...." now ?

Something doesn't sound right with this.

So they didn't know they were gay?
Amusing.

Apparently, from the Lambda Legal site, they just filed the suit on June 10th, 2014!
It took THAT long for the customers to determine that they had been picked on?
The manager gave them a new receipt without the "slur", but they kept the old one?
The manager should have been smart enough to trade receipts; "You give me that one, I give you this new one, with a 20% discount for your trouble!"
