Waitress Gets Revenge on Rude, Cheap Customer

And she may get a 100% tip out of the mess

(Newser) – A crazy story about a waitress getting gipped and insulted by a customer just may have a happy ending: The tale began last weekend when Seattle waitress Victoria Liss collected a bill from a customer who wrote in "0" on the tip line and added, "P.S. You could stand to loose (sic) a few pounds." An outraged Liss uploaded a photo of the bill to her Facebook page and identified him online. (He paid by credit card, making it easy.)

Internet revenge ensued, with strangers, friends, and bloggers calling out the customer, Andrew Meyers. Which, of course, led to the wrong Andrew Meyers being pilloried in public. Now, however, yet another Andrew Meyers has come forward to the Stranger to offer Liss a 100% tip on the $29 bill, all in the name of clearing the Andrew Meyers name. The newspaper is putting him in touch with Liss. At the Stir blog, meanwhile, Julie Ryan Evans hopes the real culprit is "shaking in his scummy yuppie shoes."

First thing removed from Amercia: Tipping. Romney's really onto something with this fresh name.

The world situation being as it is, is this all we can find to talk about? War, starving children, expiring natural resources, billions without health care are all shoved aside to discuss, with vitriol and name-calling, an incident that is so trivial in comparison. Please...can we focus on helping each other instead of throwing stones? Namaste.

in my experiences if you get a 0% tip, you probably deserved it...
