You'e gotta love the lengths people go to in order to excuse the fact that they are cheap *******s.

i spent years being a server to pay bills.

if you cant afford to tip (provided the service was satisfactory), dont eat out.

dont punish the server for your dumb agenda.

[The Evil Genius]

On the plus side, I believe California law requires businesses to pay servers at least California minimum wage, so hopefully someone else bumped her $8 an hour up.

Of course, Prop 30 only really "affected" those making over 250K a year. So his discretionary spending must be quite large.

Pretty much.

People will go to great lengths to blame Obama for anything

Plot twist: Server didn't vote for Obama...

Plot twist: Server didn't vote for Obama...

Plot twist: Obama was NOT the server that got stiffed...

[Mad Mike]

So this person is admitting to making over $250,000 per year and claiming that new taxes are forcing them to screw over minimum wage employees who serve them...

Here's hoping they go back to the same restaurant, are recognized, and get feces in their next meal.

[Tulane Skins Fan]

Who's creating class warfare here?

Also, so the guy couldn't afford five bucks for a tip, but he had the time to type out his little protest and leave it for the waiter. Lame.

I think the whole thing looks fake.

On the off chance that is it real, the person leaving the note better not show up at that restaurant again (or they may find a nice "extra" in their food.)

Reminds me of the old joke about two rival politicians going to lunch and when they are done one picks it up and offers a 30% tip with a handwritten note saying vote for me. The other guys just laughs and says when I go out I just tip 5% and then I write a note telling them to vote for you too.

Restaurants do NOT mess with people's food out of spite... At least none of the ones I've worked in over the past 10 years have...

People think it's rampant, but basically here's what you would have to do:

1) Server recognizes someone who didn't tip them
2) Server tells cooks "this person didn't tip me last time, mess with their food"
3) Cook gets pissed off because the entitled server wants him to risk his job to get revenge
4) Cook does nothing to the food, smiles and winks as he says "I hope they like their food"
5) Server thinks that cook did something, feels like they got revenge.

you know I was going to ask how often this actually happens. I mean the server is risking his/her job, there would surely be a lawsuit filed against the resteraunt/employee. I mean there is far more at stake than simple revenge.

You forgot the part where the waiter spits in the food as he takes it to the table.

I guessing fake. Nobody is that much of a willful *******.
