You would think if a person had $140 bucks to spend on going out to dinner, then they'd also have suffcient funds to leave a decent tip...or maybe not. A lady whose restaurant bill came to that amount paid her bill and instead of a tip she left a message on the reciept that said "Single Mom Sorry" When a photo of the receipt went viral some thought this was fake and a slam to single moms out there.
From Huffington Post:
Lindsay Cross, a blogger for Mommyish and former single mom, has another theory. Cross doesn't believe that the receipt is legitimate. "It’s completely possible that someone wanted to be an asshole and blame it on single moms. Honestly, the more I think about how anyone would do this to a waitress, the more I think it’s likely that this was just a very awful prank to make single moms look bad," she wrote.
Though Cross makes it apparent that she isn't trying to stereotype single moms, she notes that moms who raise kids on their own are generally sympathetic to those in service positions and mostly try to help those who are working hard. But on the other hand, as Cross and many commenters argued, "jerks" come in all shapes and sizes.
Well if it is true and this did happen, maybe that "mom" should spend that $140 on buying groceries and less time at happy hour!
