UPDATE:

It turns out the waitress in this story posted information on her about the wrong patron. Read her apology on the : “I could not be more sorry for posting the wrong person’s info and photo, it got a little out of hand, Let’s all get Tacos and Happy Hour drinks, and tip 20%!! Cha Cha Seattle forever!'”
——————————————————-

A Seattle waitress was stiffed on Saturday night. While that might not be news, she did take to the internet to expose the cheapskate, who also made a comment about her weight.

I have been to the Cha Cha (the downstairs bar at Bimbo’s Cantina in Seattle,) a few times, and my service has never been great. Be that because I’m not a regular, it’s been a Saturday and it’s been really busy, or I just look like someone who will be an annoying customer anyway, I don’t know. It could be any, none, or all three of these reasons.

But no matter how bad the service is, there or any other place – you should never stiff your server or bartender on the tip. Tips are accounted for in their expected wages, and let’s just assume they brought you your drink without spitting in it first. Mission accomplished.

But some jerk did stiff his waitress. And on top of it – he wrote her an awful note. But in today’s world of social media you just can’t get away with that sort of crap.

Not only did she post a photo of the receipt online, she also had his information – he did pay with a credit card – so she looked him up on Facebook and spread that mug of his all over the internet. And it got attention. Not just from local nightlife reporters on the Slog, but from national gossip sites like .

You can still avoid tipping someone if you so choose, but if you pay with a credit card that waiter or waitress will have your name – and your face, burned into their memory. So if you do something as idiotic as leave this message at the bottom of the receipt:

Maybe this guy deserves the online hate that he gets. Nothing is private anymore – not in the day of the internet.
