Family Disputes Gay Server's Story

Maybe the owner was in knowledge since it did say "A manager and the restaurant owner insisted they had the original ticket for the $93.55 charge, but would not produce the receipt for NBC 4 New York and could not explain why the family's credit card was charged for more." These conflict a great deal . Something is not right .

Again, so they claim. Have you seen the bill personally? Have you seen the other receipt personally?

I even stated that IF the proof is true, the waitress was in trouble. Maybe it's because I like to see the evidence before I personally make judgement.

Nobody really has since "A manager and the restaurant owner insisted they had the original ticket for the $93.55 charge, but would not produce the receipt for NBC 4 New York and could not explain why the family's credit card was charged for more."

Family Disputes Gay Server's Story - Local News - New York, NY | NBC News

"The husband and wife, who asked to remain anonymous, showed NBC 4 New York a receipt that appeared to be printed at the same minute, on the same date, for the same $93.55 total, except with an $18 tip.

They also provided a document they said was a Visa bill, which appears to indicate their card was charged for the meal plus the tip, for a total of $111.55.

The couple told NBC 4 New York that they believed their receipt was used for a hoax. The wife says she is left-handed and could not have made the slash in the tip line, which she said looks to be drawn from the right."

That story smelled way too fishy to me from the beginning -- way too stereotypical, way too in vogue -- but of course you can't actually SAY that without getting pummeled by 2x4s of righteous rage.

Again, I have yet to see a receipt where the customer copy doesn't have the signed line on it while the merchant copy has it on there. That's the difference I see that makes me suspicious. Again, I could be wrong but just pointing that out.

As for the visa bill, if the food were specials, it would be possible to have that same total on multiple bills. I don't know who is lying for sure right now, but if all the facts the couple have are correct, the waitress and/or the restraunt is in trouble.

I had a credit card machine at my old job that printed two separate receipts one for customer and one for the store. Boss got mad at employee for giving customer wrong one because they were different. And the store must keep the one with the signature.

The two receipts look slightly different though. Don't they to you? Usually the Merchant Copy and the Customer copy are the same thing with the only difference being one says Merchant and the other Customer. However, the placement of the words below the amount on the copies are different.

Am I wrong?

So...what are your views on the Holocaust then?

Normally on all the receipts I have gotten from a restraunt, the customer and merchant copies were the EXACT same with the only change being the name "Merchant" and "Customer". The customer copy the couple provided does not have a signature spot on it like the merchant copy does.

I'm only pointing out differences I see and asking if anyone else has had the same experience where the customer copy and merchant copy were different.

Slow down there son. I never said the couple was lying, I am only poitning out differences for discussions. Shame on me for not automatically being on the "bash the gay" wagon.

Yes, I've seen that all the time. Depends on how cheapass the POS system is at the place. The cheaper ones print through as a duplicate, so the are the same. The better POS systems post two so you can advertise on one and the other is just for payment.

You feel some overwhelming need to deny the obvious. Just kinda wondering where you drew the line.

Yeah, because I didn't automatically side with YOU, I'm now a holocaust denier. :roll: Go troll someone else.

Nice try. You had proof put in front of you and still kept denying it. I've seen your type - given Holocaust pics, and still denying it.

But hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion - regardless of how idiotic and oblivious.

I bet those Holocaust pics are photoshopped, huh?

The only difference I see is that the Merchant copy has the area to sign your name and the customer copy doesn't. I've actually seen this done at other resturants at times as well. I don't really see anything different beyond that.

While I understand the desire to see some hard evidence, I also think it's unreasonable to expect to actually see the credit card statement of a family. Considering they were basically correcting themselves, I see no good reason to disbelieve the claims of NBC 4 that the families credit card statements verified their story and the claim regarding the receipt. While yes, I like to see or know what evidence is available, I think sometimes a little common sense and trust is needed to understand some evidence may not be made publicly available in various situations.
