Man Leaves Racist Note For Waitress Instead Of Tip At Thai Restaurant

tips.jpg


On Friday, when a waitress at the Bamboo Thai Bistro in Redondo Beach picked up the credit card receipt from a customer, she found that he had left no tip, but instead wrote the words, "Tip for U.S. citizens only," reports NBC LA.

A photo of the receipt was soon shared on social media. Unsurprisingly, the man—identified by the receipt as Jason Paul Naglich—was taken to task for his comment, especially after YouTube star Gina Darling shared the image.

The server—whose identity has not been released—is in her 30s and is in the U.S. legally, working under a visa. She tells NBC LA that she hopes to eventually get her green card to provide a better life for her two kids.

So you can eat at a Thai restaurant but don't want immigration?

Sort of unrelated, but I once wrote "Next time fill my glass more than once" where I was supposed to write the tip.

Is he a dick because he's racist?
Is he a dick because he's cheap?
Or is he a dick because he found a new layer of dick, beneath the strata science previously believed to be the bottommost layer of dick, where a racist is so cheap, that he believes his racism is a valid way to get out of it?

I mean, couldn't you have just asked for more water?
 
The real fucking obnoxious thing about this is that he assumes if you work at a Thai restaurant, you're not an American citizen. As if you couldn't just be an American citizen working at a Thai restaurant. The article clarifies that yeah, she's here on a visa, but that's really goddamn obnoxious.

I was at a local Subway one time and some asshole was angry about some shit that made no difference and he was yelling at the people behind the counter, "THE CUSTOMER'S ALWAYS RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA", then bolted out of there. As if the people working there couldn't just be Indian-American or Mexican-American. Fucking pissed me off.

He's not even a dick. He's smegma.

Why eat there if you hate anyone who isn't white?

You know with the occasional story that pops up on social media whenever someone writes something stupid on the tip line you'd think by now people would learn that if they do this it will end up on social media and then eventually the news.
 
Racism AND tipping in one thread? If only circumcision was in there somewhere we would have the GAF trifecta!

These tip pics seem to be the new 'I'm a teacher, share and like this photo to teach my students how fast and far things spread blah blah blah'.

If it is real, the guy is a dick. Does it need to go any further?

I could've, but at the same time I believe a waiter should always realize that the customer might eventually need a refill without the customer asking for it.

Waiters are suppossed to be attentive. They should prove themselves worthy of a tip, dammit!

I feel like he has to be studied in a control enviroment
One could even call them refugees.

Well some of them were mass imported unskilled labor.

There are just so many idiots in America.

I remember when Marc Anthony sang before an MLB game and people complained.

"Why is Marc Anthony singing “God Bless America?” He’s not even American. Shoulda got someone sweet like Kesha."

"Marc Anthony singing God Bless America on the MLB Allstar Game……….am I the only person that finds that unAmerican."

"Marc Anthony isn’t even American. He just rolled his “r” in God Bless America."

"Another disgrace Marc Anthony singing god bless America.Is he even an American citizen?"

When someone complained, Marc Anthony was really confused. "I was born in Harlem, guys."

I really am disgusted and confused by even the HINT that someone "foreign" could come to America and enjoy making a life for themselves, and people are burned up about that. Mostly white folks descended from European immigrants themselves, of course.

Dude pretty much ruined his life with his name out there with the story. I wouldn't be that surprised if he got fired from his job.

She should be getting paid a full wage and not dependent on tip anyways

am i right guys?

This is in California, so she IS getting a full wage. Cali does not allow reduction of wages due to tips. Everyone in the state makes at least minimum wage. Servers at high end restaurants can bank pretty hard.

Doesn't excuse the dude's stupidity. Eating at a restaurant that wouldn't exist without Asian immigration and then shitting on said immigration.

I sympathize with this man because TIPPING CULTURE IS OUT OF CONTROL
 
I hope he's willing to pay an across the board price increase at restaurants when he finally gets his way and all the underpaid undocumented workers are thrown out of the country

More like, I hope he wants to always cook his own food because every restaurant will shut down.

Edit: And he won't even be able to do that because immigrants are the backbone of the farm industry too.

lol exactly. Food is so intrinsically woven in to peoples culture the fact that you could hate an ethnic group but love their food is just bizarre.

There's a documentary on Netflix (or was not sure now) on the origins of General Tso's chicken, and during the explanation, they talked to chinese immigrants that started restaurants in the Midwest around the 50's and 60's where they spoke about the racism they suffered because they were Chinese in a very white part of the US at the time. One of the people made a really good point. Paraphrasing from what I remember, they basically said that those curious about their restaurant would show up and try the food and realize it was delicious and that they slowly told people they knew and the racism died down. That people couldn't be racist (or at least had to become more tolerant) when they realized they liked the food if this new culture. I'm definitely not doing justice to what they said.

Pure class. I bet he's a great guy to hang around. /s

I could never, ever find it within me to say something so hurtful to a stranger (or anyone for that matter), particularly one who just served me food.
