And it’s BCO all over again, suggesting that the onus is on the victim of the clearly abhorrent service to go to extra lengths the make amends lest if ‘affect everyone’. Alternative take: how’s about the restaurant staff take that into consideration before they open their big, stupid, homophobic mouths?

Yeah, I’m a waiter, but even I have to say Stiff Them Hard. It’s shitty that they even had to pay for their meal. (tho like what kind of garbage meal is available for two people on Vday for fifty bucks? Were they just plating chalupas? I’m confused.)

I’m a server. If this happened, I’d be mortified. They don’t owe it to the restaurant to allow them to make amends. They had their Valentine’s Day ruined by this guys’ idiocy. If I didn't get tipped for this reason, I would completely understand. Everybody deserves good service unless they are being a dick.

Everyone in this thread is responding about it being hibachi style BUT even if it wasn’t, I’m a server and if ANYONE in my restaurant ever said this to a gay couple, I’d not only not be angry if they left the bill like this, but I would report the employee. Everyone should feel comfortable when going out to eat. Yes,…

You know, initially I had the same question about the waiters vs. the chef, and I’m on every thread about tipping saying tip well and take care of the staff, they’re not responsible for what comes out of the kitchen.

I don’t want to touch on the specifics of your comment because I do think it has merit— I just think it doesn’t matter in this case. No one is thinking of back stories here. You go out for a romantic dinner and you’re harassed and degraded by employees of the restaurant that you’re already having to give money to?…

Grub Street reports that “Asahi offered Parker a refund — if, that is, she agrees to remove her Facebook post that’s now reached 7,000 shares.”

My sister, her partner, and I went out for Margarita Monday a while back. This sort of thing happened, and I was like ughhhhhh. They were both laughing like no big deal, we get this all the time. I wanted to cut people’s throats and they were dealing with it in their way by laughing and giving people the face. You…

hibachi grill aside, someone makes those comments to me and my girlfriend? They’re not getting any additional money from me. If they had a server, they can take it up with the chef/manager when tipping out.

It was hibachi so it’s likely he was also their server, there are still the runners, bus people, and the host/ess to consider but even as a former food service person myself I am having a hard time having any sympathy for the restaurant. A server having a bad day is one thing, a server who sexually harasses and makes…

Why can’t men accept impotence as what it so very clearly is? God’s will for them.

So, it looks like we’ve finally discovered what it takes to get the police to prosecute someone for accidentally shooting a black man.

Note Talib admitted this on Sunday, but we needed the Monday news cycle to complain about Cam Newton’s pouting because that hurt reporters’ feelers.

This all looks bad, but at least he hasn’t dabbed on the football field. That would be classless.

So true, my man. I’ve noticed how often people are talking about JJ Watt’s sack dances and Aaron Rodgers’s discount double checks with such disdain. They totally get the same treatment as Cam.

I do think what he said was badly worded. It made it sound like he was telling Jennifer that she has no complaint and that, were she an actress of color, she’d see what inequality looked like. And while that’s technically true, it’s not helpful to the conversation at all, for anyone. If you start using that kind of…

You are most likely correct, but that still costs tax payers money. It is not like the govt will make due with less. Every dollar someone else does not pay is one more you do.

This reminds me a bit of the University of Texas case from a while back, where a girl friend of the killer did an enormous amount of helping him try to get away with it for no conceivable reason/gain. In fact, when asked why she did so by a reporter, she reportedly said “because thats how I roll.”

Anyway, my heart…

I’m definitely taking my shoes off on an international flight. As long as my feet don’t smell and I’m wearing socks. But there is no way I’m wearing shoes for an entire 13-hour flight.

And, OMG these people, if you are part of a couple and you book an aisle seat and a window seat in the hopes that no one takes the middle and then someone sits in the middle seat and you don’t offer to switch and instead hold whole conversations over middle’s head YOU ARE MONSTER PEOPLE.
