Earlier this week, a server at a restaurant in Bridgewater, NJ looked at a check to see that the family she had just served completely stiffed her on the tip. And the awful thing was the reason the diner wrote on the check: "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life."

Server Dayna Morales sent the check to Have a Gay Day, which posted the offensive check on their Facebook page. Morales, who works at Gallop Asian Bistro, also revealed that when she got to their table, "NEVER in a million years did I think this would happen. Not only was it a family with two kids, but as I introduce myself and tell them my name is Dayna—the mom proceeds to look at me and say 'oh I thought you were gonna say your name is Dan. You sure surprised us!'"

Morales, who has served in the U.S. Marine Corps, never told the customers that she was gay. She told Have a Gay Day, "I am THOROUGHLY offended mad pissed off and hurt that THIS is what her kids will grow up learning and that I served in the Marines to keep ignorant people like them free. Sorry lady but I don't agree with YOUR lifestyle and the way you're raising your kids but you didn't see me throwing that in your face and giving you shitty service. Keep your damn mouth shut and pray we never cross paths again."

She shared her shock with WABC 7, explaining, "It wasn't he said, she said. They actually wrote it, proof they said it."


Family Refuses To Tip NJ Waitress Because She's Gay
This diner is a terrible, terrible person.

The restaurant's manager told NBC New York, "We don't tolerate discrimination of any kind. Those customers are not welcome here. We support Dayna 100 percent. She's a wonderful person and a wonderful server, and we are extremely proud of her and the way she handled this situation."

Morales said on Facebook, "Thanks everyone for your support—it took very fiber of my being not to spit in their food and say something. (Not gonna lie if kids weren't there it would of been a totally different story)."

Yep. The spit in the food comment is grounds for firing (imo)  I understand the restaurant owner standing behind her, but not after that. As a patron, it would keep me from ever eating in that restaurant.

As far as people bashing Christians, the customers never claimed to be Christians, so, we can't assume they consider themselves as such. (even if they do, they are not)

Huh? Christ taught love above all things. That's why I say they are not Christian. If they were, they would not be judgmental assholes.

Have you read St. Paul's letters? To be fair, it's arguable that he was no kind of Christian, either. My late wife used to call the Church "the Pauline Heresy."

I don't know what the snake-handlers have against the food-handlers, or when restaurant receipts became the new bully pulpit, but there was another story recently, this one from Kansas, where instead of a tip, a Christian family left their server, who they knew was gay, this note:

Thank you for your service, it was excellent. That being said, we cannot in good conscience top you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to GOD. Queers do not share in the wealth of GOD, and you will not share in ours.

So much for "Christian" compassion, about love the sin and hate the sinner, etc..religious people complain that they are targeted for abuse, are called intolerant and mean and such, but where is the outrage for them at this stupid, stupid family? Evangelicals claim to be spreading the love of God, yet they are routinely like this, judgmental, mean, etc.

It is funny, years ago there was a case where some of the morality police were able to pressure a hotel into canceling a leather event called "Beat Me in St. Louis", from a Howard Johnson's hotel there (the event had the whole hotel booked, so no 'vanillas' would be put out). I got involved (turns out the corporate parent of Howard Johnson's hotels literally is in my back yard), and the hotel chain as a result issued rules to their hotels telling them not to ever do what the hotel in St. Louis did, that their basic credo was as long as the groups activities were legal and were willing to be accommodating when concerns about mixing with others in the hotel were concerned i.e being discrete where needed, everyone was welcome.I spoke to someone at the headquarters (literally made an appointment to talk to them) and the woman laughed, said they got feedback from employees at the hotel, who said the leather people were fun to work with, were good tippers and were just great people. Meanwhile, not long before, some evangelical conference was there,and the employees said that they never worked with a nastier group of people, complained about everything, and often refused to tip, claiming that a good job done is reward enough and other BS......

Two things I found interesting about that article.
One, that they based their opinion about her lifestyle based on her hair/appearance.
Two, they didn't object to being served by her, they objected to tipping.
