This scam has been done to death. People still fall for it?
Sure they do. Same for the Nigerian lottery and calls from the IRS claiming the person owes money and must pay it immediately with a money card. The sad thing is there seems to be an endless supply of people willing to fall for such scams.
Nobody cares except for sally-girls like yourself.
Also, private businesses should be able to discriminate against anybody they want, but the freedom hating left can't handle that. Your rights end where their feelings begin
Yes, private businesses should be able to discriminate against anyone they want. This private business is doing that. This couple is not allowed back.
Let me explain how this works.
The couple is free to put nasty notes on the receipt.
The lady's grandfather is free to broadcast the nasty note on the internet.
The business is free to discriminate against the racist couple.
No government involvement. No one's natural liberties violated.
It is actually nimrods like you who ensure Republicans never win a Presidential election because their racism taints conservatism and libertarianism.
You won't find me supporting Democrats and their ilk... unlike you.
Grandpa is an attorney with his office next to the diner.
He started this ****storm when he posted the receipt to his Facebook page with the comment "Ada M. Doriot. You are a complete and total piece of dung." In an earlier comment he threatened to hit the customer.
His lawyer friends and investigators quickly dug into searching out who was the customer.
They picked the wrong Hispanic girl to mess with.
Costs about 25 bucks to search a name. Doubt if a team of lawyers worked on it.
At what point does an attorney posting a customer's receipt (why is it even available for the waitress attorney in the first place?), using professional investigators to look into the customer and publicly identifying them online cross legal boundaries?
The customer's legal rights have been violated big time. I hope they sue his pants off. He has put them in danger of identity theft. He not only published their signature but questionable evidence of what he considers wrong doing and the last four digits of their credit card. I didn't realize tips were mandatory. And put them up to public ridicule for no reason that he can prove.
He's a lawyer. I am sure he knows the situation better than you. Tips are not mandatory. Who said they were?

There is a whole thread about someone who did not leave a tip. Some people who charge their meal leave the tip on the table. I personally would never use a credit card at a restaurant because identity theft people warn you never to do that. And if you do use a credit card you are not supposed to let it leave your sight. Maybe this thread is a good example of why never to use a credit card at a restaurant. How did that receipt find its way out of the restaurant? Maybe some other people need to do some checking about what goes on there.
Does the lawyer own the restaurant? I really am having a hard time understanding why he ended up that with receipt.

It is really about the reason for not leaving a tip. Is it not?
If they had left no tip and no note we would not be having this discussion.

If the customers privacy had been respected we would not be having this conversation either. Doesn't the American Privacy Act cover restaurants? When you are a professional working with the public, you have to have a very thick skin. If you cannot do that than you need to get another job. The only rights violated in this situation is the customer's.

Obviously it does not cover this situation. Gramps is a lawyer.
I suggest if you are a racist you do not leave written proof behind in this day and age.
There is no such thing as the American Privacy Act. There is a Privacy Act which covers government information and the protection thereof, but nothing that applies in this situation.
