Waiter gets racist note rather than tip from couple, ‘We don’t tip white ppl! LOL’
A Tennessee waiter said he got a surprise “tip” from a couple he served who were not fond of white people.
Nathan Bergeron, who works at the On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, claimed that a couple left him a $0.00 tip with a note explaining why they didn’t give him a gratuity.
“We don’t tip white ppl! LOL,” read the note at the top of the couple’s $47.00 bill on Sunday, NBC4 reported.
“I was more shocked,” he told NBC4. “The fact that they would be so blatant and put it out there.”
“I treated that table no differently from anyone else,” Bergeron said. “Obviously in this business, we don’t always get a tip. You just move on about it and go onto your next table.”
According to his friend, Brandy Sciara, who shared a picture of the note on her Facebook page, Bergeron depends on those tips and lives in his car outside of the restaurant.
“He’s a good person. He goes to work, does his job,” she said. “When I saw the comment I cried. I was always told, ‘If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all.’”
But as it happens, it may be the greatest tip Bergeron has ever received.
Since the story made news, a GoFundMe page for Bergeron has made more than $6,800, of a $500 goal.
“Community support has been wonderful,” she said. “Everyone is standing behind Nathan.”
The waiter has taken it all in stride.
“I’m not going to let this bring me down,” he told NBC4. “I love what I do. I get to meet new people every day and interact with people from all different backgrounds.”
The restaurant he works for also issued a statement of support.
“We’re always going to take care of our employees and have their back,” the company said.
In this day and age, people have been known to fake victimhood. There is reason to take a deep breath and consider the possibility that it was a publicity stunt. After all, we've seen black people spray paint the 'N' word on other black owned homes, Jewish people who have called in anti-Semitic threats to Jewish community organizations, so it is not unreasonable to suspect it could be a white person getting his 15 minutes of fame by faking a scribbled note.
ReplyDeleteI'll believe it when the perp is identified.
How do you tip with an EBT card LOL.
ReplyDeleteHow many of these stories where the wait staff get a disparaging comment written on the receipt in lieu of tip, actually turn out to be true?
ReplyDeleteAl Sharpton and Jese Jackoff will be there protesting in 1......2.....3 ........ 4 ...... hmmmmmm silence from the race pimps.
ReplyDeletethe ones where it happens to WHITE People ..... because they are not liars
ReplyDeleteNOTE who fakes victimhood ..... the professional victims.
ReplyDeleteLooks like female handwriting.
ReplyDeleteThey dont tip anyone.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the waiter said "We don't serve (fill in the blank)".
ReplyDeleteYou mean sneezing or spitting snot on their food? Maybe a special creamy white salad dressing? Maybe an "S" word sandwich? All served with a glass of fresh urine?
ReplyDeleteBlacks don't tip any people - LOL....
ReplyDeleteIf there is no 'victim', there is no lawyer.
ReplyDeleteHow many blacks know the word 'don't' with the correct punctuation ?
ReplyDeleteits not racist. they are just stating a fact. they want to blame whitey for their shortcomings. they are wrong but it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteOY! VEY!
ReplyDeleteYet another reason to simply stay home and learn to make great meals and entertain at home.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Black people can't write so it couldn't have been a black person.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that do know it probably would have had good manners and also tipped.
