A waitress in Oregon found an envelope scribbled with a question mark left on one of her tables as a tip. Inside? Crystal meth.

Ryan Bensen, 40, and Erica Manley, 37, are under arrest after they paid for their tab at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse in the town of Seaside with a gift card, and allegedly left their waitress an envelope stuffed with crystal meth instead of paying the gratuity in cash.

"She was like, 'Whoa — what the …?' " the Twisted Fish's manager told the Oregonian. "We're not a little dive bar or hole in the wall. We're a classy place."

Instead of living out a Breaking Bad fantasy, the waitress called the Seaside police, who quickly arrived on the scene and arrested Bensen and Manley, who were still on the premises.

"I think the waitress was stunned and probably offended that somebody would think she was a user of a methamphetamine," Seaside Police Chief Robert Gross told New York's Daily News.

A search of Manley's purse reportedly turned up an additional 17 ounces of meth.

After the arrest, Seaside police obtained a search warrant for the couple's hotel room in the small coastal town. There, they allegedly discovered that Manley and Bensen had turned their room at the Holiday Inn Express into a makeshift meth lab.

They are both being held on charges of possessing and manufacturing methamphetamines.

"While I should be shocked and surprised, it's just another example of how dumb these users and dealers are," Chief Gross told the Oregonian. "The whole thing almost made me chuckle."

17 ounces of meth is a fuckload of meth to have in your purse, and costs a fuckload more than those rednecks look like they have. Maybe they were in the middle of a mule run or something when they decided to be generous.

How did the hotel cleaning service not notice this?

How tweaked out do you have to be to think that leaving meth is a good idea?

 

[Fusebox]

Ahahah I missed the bit about the hotel room being their lab. Shit, props to them for being so entrepreneurial then.

I think the important question is: Is tipping with meth better than no tip at all?

Hotels give you a tag to put on the door that says "No service today".

Ever hear of a Do Not Disturb sign or still being in the hotel room when the cleaning people come by?

Sure you are.

Brain fart. Although I've never put much thought into the intricacies of converting hotel rooms into meth labs.

It's actually becoming a huge problem.

Sure you are.

To be fair, it doesn't take much class to put your establishment above the "we don't accept meth as a gratuity" watermark.

Tipping a waitress the waitress with it?

You must be doing the dope.
