Customers Stiff Waitress; Write ‘We Only Tip Citizens’ On Receipt

[Rob L 3,811]

Most food servers get tips from customers when they do the job.

All Sadie Elledge got was a xenophobic insult.

On Monday, the 18-year-old waitress was working the lunch shift at Jess’ Lunch, in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

At one of her tables was a couple that ordered two gyros and a salad.

Elledge told WHSV reporter Isabel Rosales that she gave them decent service, but when it came time to pay the $26.11 bill, she found a surprise on her receipt.

Instead of a tip, there was a note: “We only tip citizens,” with the signature of one “Adam. Dart.”

“I thought it was real disrespectful,” she told Rosales during a Facebook Live interview.

Elledge, whose father was born in Honduras and mother was born in Mexico, is a U.S. citizen who grew up in Harrisonburg.

She told Rosales she didn’t make a big deal about the insult, mainly because she’s used to it.

“I’ve had people make comments like ‘Go make me a burrito,’ but that’s at school and I don’t pay attention,’” she said.

Elledge’s grandfather, John Elledge, was more shocked by the receipt.

“She was calm and collected,” John Elledge told The Huffington Post. “I was more upset.”

Elledge is an attorney, but his granddaughter did not mention the incident to him at all.

“One of my other granddaughters works at my firm as a secretary,” he said. “She told me and I flew off the handle.”

He also posted the receipt on his Facebook page, where it quickly went viral.

Those Trump supporters are a real hoot! Obviously Mr Dart was just being sarcastic.

"We only tip citizens" handwriting does not seems to match "Adam. Dart" signature

I doubt Adam Dart even exists.

“The way I understand it, the woman who signed the receipt is at the restaurant this very second with the police,” he said Thursday afternoon. “She’s angry and the police are there. Apparently, she just signed the receipt. She didn’t write the comment.”

Her name is "Ada M. Doriot", not "Adam Dart".

exactly, but anyone who would stiff a server unless she was beyond rude or lazy is a scum bag

People that treat service people badly are on the top of my list

Even when I get a waiter or waitress that is terrible, I find it hard to totally stiff them. I usually give 10% to a bad server, but only once or twice have I left no tip at all.
