Diners leave lesbian waitress anti-gay note instead of a tip

Customers at a New Jersey restaurant stiffed a server on a $93 bill. Not because of poor service but because their waitress is gay.

Instead of the customary 15%, Dayna Morales, a server at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, said that a family she waited on Wednesday left another type of "tip."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life" was written on the receipt.

Morales told ABC News station WABC-TV that although she is openly gay, she never shared that with the customers.

A server off and on for 10 years, Morales said she greeted the patrons with the "normal introduction."

"'My name is Dayna. I'll be taking care of you,'" she said. "Right away the mom looked at me and said, 'I thought you were going to say your name was Dan.'"

Morales said she served the family its meals without further incident and was "offended" and "mad" to find what was left on the receipt.

"I didn't know how to react to that. I never thought that would ever happen," she said.

Morales on Wednesday posted a photo of the note on the Have a Gay Day Facebook page, where it's generated more than 3,000 comments.

New Hampshire waitress picks up tab for furloughed National Guard soldiers

A New Hampshire waitress picked up the tab for two service members she overheard say were furloughed due to the government slimdown.

Sarah Hoildahl was waiting tables at a Ruby Tuesday in Concord, New Hampshire, when two National Guard members sat in her section for lunch, FoxCarolina.com reported.

Holidahl, a 21-year-old single mother who reportedly has friends in the military and is dating a Marine, heard the women discussing the furlough and mention that they weren’t getting paid.

After they had finished their meal instead of delivering the soldiers a check, she sent them a note.

“Thanks to the government shutdown the people like you that protect this country are not getting paid, however I still am. Lunch is on me thank you for serving ladies! Have a good day!” the note read.

Holidahl said the members waited out front for her and hugged her. “Just seeing the reaction on their face was totally worth it,” she told NECN.

News of her gesture quickly spread and the New Hampshire National Guard posted a picture of Sarah and the copy of her note on their Facebook page. Holidahl said the response she has received is overwhelming.

“I mean, they protect this country and the citizens like me,” Holidahl told FoxCarolina.com. “It’s a nice thing to do,” she said.
