Anyone found any other sources for this? Sounds like it happened somewhere near me in Northern VA. This is a pretty liberal area compared to the rest of the state, I hoped we'd be above stuff like this...

I'm in Northern VA as well and this isn't something you typically would find around here.

Stupid, seems like something an asshole would do just to see a story about it too. If that's not the case, fuckers need locked away

So they spent $30.52 bucks but the receipt says balance due is $0.00?

You can barely read any of the text because the resolution is so low. Makes me a little skeptical. You can barely make out anything except the racist remark.

It's the recipe you get after paying the entire balance as opposed to splitting the bill.

Hope these morons are smart enough to realize that their food will be 80% bodily fluids if that ever end up back there.
 
It's not that it's the fact they literally compliment her before the hate. One or the other surely. Why bother doing both?

Racists don't see themselves as bad people.

In their minds, they're being "fair" by praising her work, but exercising their God-given right to discriminate by not giving her a dime.

I still think this is being to generous. Like if you confronted these people about it they'd probably use that as their defense ("At least I complimented her!") but I really do think it's just to twist the knife by making a point that no quality of service on her part could ever warrant a tip from them. Aka she can never be worth anything in their eyes no matter how hard she tries. The fact that they wrote a note it all makes it clear to me that their goal was to ruin someone's day rather than justify their own tipping habits.

Petty and disgusting. Our Preisdent Elect would be proud. They probably think they're fucking comedic geniuses too.

I really like how they felt the need to let her know they were racist, instead of keeping it to themselves. Almost as if they got a kick out of doing so.

Did they find them for sure and determine that they did it? I just get so skeptical on this stuff. Shitty if true, but I'm always wary to accept it because it seems so ridiculous that people would actually do shit like this.

E: I realize my post comes off really shitty. But I don't mean it as such. I just don't know some people are really that terrible, so my brain just immediately has a hard time realizing it's a real thing to be that garbage of a person.

It was in Loudon County. I'm just perplexed as to why you would go to a Tex Mex restaurant if you intend to be a racist...

They needed to scratch their racist itch or some shit



------------------------

Is that like, an activity that racists have?

Just two racist buddies sitting next to eachother drinking a beer, one asks "whaddaya wanna do today?"

"Let's go berate some minorities!"

That's what blows my fucking mind. This couple goes to a Tex Mex place, gets good service and still shits on this woman.

Racists have no problem appropriating other people's cultures, and shoveling down other people's cuisine... but the people themselves? The ones whose hearts and minds are responsible for all the things they're enjoying? Nothing but contempt, hatred, discrimination, etc...

Like Slayven summed it up, this note is pretty much: "You ain't shit."

That seems like straight up slave owner mentality. "Nice job, but you are black and therefore undeserving of money." wtf...

Since they're mid-20s, imagine that the people leaving this note are basically high school graduates with "🐸" in their Twitter usernames instead of your kindly but racist grandpa who embarrasses the family when you go to Hibachi. Doesn't seem that implausible when you figure the people who did this probably have a going-out shirt that says "Deplorable" on it in big letters. Bunch of chucklefucks going out of their way to ruin someone's day to feel better about themselves.

Caution in trusting this kind of thing is probably advisable considering the spat of fake stories post-election:

....this is news??????


This happens like every day, these guys were just feeling particularly racist today to make sure their waitress knows


And even if you find the cunts who wrote it....it's not like you can fine them or send them to jail. Maybe launch a Facebook smear campaign

but if they go to these extents to make sure people know they're racist, i'm sure they'll get whats coming to them eventually.

I feel shitty being skeptical, but at the same time, I feel like I'm not wrong in doing so because of posts like this.

Also this. People are fucking garbage most of the time, especially younger entitled fucks.

When are we gonna evolve to be better than this? I simply just can't understand how people have capacity for such hate. Maybe it is because I live in a very diverse and accepting area but stuff like this is just so hard to believe and accept. My heart goes out to everyone who has to put up with this shit. Keep your chin up.

Yep.

We should totally just ignore it and hope that the universe catches up to them eventually. That's the way to change things.

Racism is an American tradition and will not be given up under any circumstances. People will apologize for it before they no longer allow it to exist.

He wasn't alone.
Pretty gross.

It's the location in Ashburn. Was hopping it might be a closer one to me. One branch is only 10 miles away.

Sadly it isn't news to a lot of people, it is the reality of their of their day to day lives. Bigotry should be highlighted in all it forms

It was Ashburn, apparently. And yeah, I'm shocked to see it happen in NOVA, though of course it was Loudoun.

For everyone calling fake because the balance due says 0.00, this is very common when you pay with a card. It's for when you split the bill, they would put 15 on the card and it would say balance due of the remaining 15 and change.

It says balance due 0.00 because it was all paid on the card, meaning they don't owe any cash.

This is so common because groups of people split bills in all kinds of variations of credit cards, giftcards, cash etc.

i guess i'm one of those people

thats why it isnt news to me lol


but any amount of highlighting helps, i suppose

It just feels weird that this made the news, because it was done by a person of absolutely no consequence to anyone.

Not a store owner, not an employee, just some typical racist asshole...Blasting them on the internet won't make them stop being racist, nor will it make anyone like them stop being racist. It's pretty much only good for personal satisfaction.

you can hurt them by getting them fired from their jobs if they work for any decent sized firm.

I was asking because I don't recall ever seeing that on my receipts (and I always pay with card), not as a measure of authenticity. Though I think skepticism in a case like this is perfectly healthy given the climate we live in. Neogaf is certainly not immune, see: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1305959&page=5

Given the consensus on fake news, it is strange to see so little skepticism in this thread compared to this one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1209230

We really need to stop being shocked that 'liberal' areas are somehow free of racist assholes.

Should stop being shocked it happens anywhere, because it happens everywhere. If people choose to be aware of it or not is the question

They're saving their tip money because they're Economically Anxious™! Have we tried talking to them?? /s
I know you're kidding, but I wanted to point out for anyone who might not know that Ashburn, VA is one of the wealthiest (per capita) towns in America. It's the most affluent town of one of the most affluent counties in the country, Loudoun County.

If they're in their young 20's they're most likely adult kids of 6 figure dual income families. In other words, they're just disgusting people, no other excuse.
