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.

You're describing the law. MANY MANY MANY employers flout the law. Especially with immigrant workers. Even ones with visas.

Hearing so many stories now about customers writing offensive notes for waitresses instead of tips. Has being a total prick to waitresses become a national past-time now?

Sort of unrelated, but I once wrote "Next time fill my glass more than once" where I was supposed to write the tip.
So you're a dick too then? The tip amount is what's supposed to be left on the tip line not your bitching about what they did wrong. Not happy with the service the amount does the talking.

Well the difference in this story is that they decided a witch hunt would be nice so they released his name, usually with these they're suspiciously redacted in enough ways where they turn out to be fake.

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

The fuck is this shit, I'm glad his name was released to the public. Shame him.

Wow, jump to conclusions much?

How is this a hard conclusion to make? I mean, it's not 1:1, I guess. But it's the same hemisphere, the same sport, the same stadium, probably even the same play. Why is this such a jump? The person is racist. Why get upset about stating the obvious?

Any low amount is still a reward, and I'm not going to leave it blank. So instead of putting a cross, I'll write an informative tip that I believe would help them next time they serve a customer.

It's not that hard for them to understand.

Good Service = Big Tip

Bad Service = Small Tip

I'm just helping through information. To me that's better than giving them the small ammount, and be on my way.

How about next time, don't be such a passive aggressive wimp over it and just ask for a refill?

He better not return there, or he might find something odd about his food. But really, what is this crap?

I hate my country sometimes, its filled to the brim full of racists, bigots, homophobes, its disgusting.

A low amount like a dime or a quarter is a slap in the face so if you want to be a dick that's the proper way. I assure you a waiter would just read your comment as hot air from some grouchy dick that wants to feel better about themselves by downing a low wage worker.

You're not supposed to leave it blank for fear they may think you just forgot but I think a strike through the blank field works if you don't want to leave a tip.

He's eating Thai food, he has no room to say US only. He brought shame on his patriotism not eating somewhere with mac & cheese with ripped up hotdogs, chicken fingers and cheese burgers.

You're not helping anyone, you're just being a smug passive aggressive dick. If you had a problem with what the server was doing then you should've said something.

I only eat Indian food made by white people...or sushi made by white people...or Thai food made by white people. Because white people have to be here legally right? Not someone else from another nation. No way in hell they could be here legally or be legit U.S. citizens.

How about slow down on the drinks? Do you have three drinks when eating a meal at home?

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!

You sound like such a great customer, I'm sure you've never eaten food the staff has spit on

Man a lot of threads in OT this morning have me seeing red >_< :(

C'mon America, you're supposed to be better than this!

I think they were referring to how it was assumed the guy is white. Not whether or not he's racist.

The assumption isn't that the racist asshole is White (though let's be real, odds are they are) but rather that the sever and many of the people who might be employed at this Thai restaurant aren't White. That is to say why would this racist asshole eat at a location (that specializes in food from a foreign culture no less) that has a high probability of employing a lot of people who aren't White if they hate non-White people?

You expect too much... :/

Maybe two glasses of water at home. But when I'm in a restaurant I expect a glass of water when I have my complimentary bread, a glass when I'm eating my meal, and finally a glass after my meal. One glass of water shouldn't cut it.

What a freaking piece of dick.

The gall of the guy who goes to a Thai restaurant and acts like this.

Imagine thinking this is acceptable behavior?

Imagine being that fucking stupid.

It's hard. It's really hard. You gotta be otherworldly stupid.

Is there a reason why you can't speak up? Waiting 101 sure, but just speak up when you need something. You're rationalization is weak, but I guess you're free to not leave a tip.

You said she gave you a refill.

Also, bad form sticking around for an after-dinner glass of water at a restaurant.

With a tip run through a credit card machine that would most assuredly apply that tip to her W-2 and their employee payroll taxes? Seems unlikely.

California business tax division is relentless. I wouldn't want to be caught fudging paperwork with them.

The hostess should be a big burly bouncer. Nobody gets to leave until the bill is checked for smartass comments. Then jerks like this can get introduced to the garbage dumpster to experience the establishment's rotting cuisine.
