[quote=Anonymous]If this was a white waitress, I'd still think it was fake.  If it was a homophobic slur written, I'd think it was fake.  If it was a pro Trump or pro Clinton message written, I'd think it was fake.  If it was a message telling Muslims to get out, I'd think it was fake.  I always think these types of things are fake for the most part.

I never depart my table until my waitress takes the check back when I'm leaving a cash tip.  I just don't trust another waitress or busboy to not pocket the cash.  I waited tables from age 17 to 24 off and on to make money while in HS, college, and grad school.  Cash money is one of the greatest temptations for people, especially cash that has yet to be accounted for.  The sheer amount of turnover in the restaurant biz from people with sticky fingers is staggering.  And they just move on to the next restaurant when let go from one because 99% of the time, no one calls to check references in the restaurant biz.

I just get the vibe from this that it was a scheme hatched internally to garner support for the restaurant like the Comet Ping Pong restaurant received after pizzagate.  Everyone rallied around that joint and planned specific outings to bring them extra business.  I can see a sketchy owner/manager hatching a plan like this one to get the Ashburn community to rally and up their sales.

I drive by this location on my way home each night and last night the shopping center where this Anita's is located was packed and it wasn't all people waiting for a table at Ford's Fish Shack like normally.

The waitress may not be guilty, but I just don't think a customer left the message.

As someone said in a previous message on page 1 or 2, racist white people love to get black waiters and waitresses  to boss them around.  I've seen this multiple times when in the south and waiting tables for a summer.  They aren't overt with their racism but are much more passive.  Being very demanding, thinking it's funny to ask for multiple items one at a time to make the waiter run around.  Then they'll either leave no tip with no explanation or a very low, maybe 5% tip.  One summer in Savannah, GA taught me plenty about how passively racist white people can be.   [/quote]
