Yup.....it happened.
What a couple left as a tip for a South Carolina food server angered her friends so much that they posted it to Facebook.
Neither the server nor her friends wanted WYFF News 4 in South Carolina to reveal their names or where they work out of fear for their jobs, but they did want to share "the tip."
The tip was not left in the form of cash. Instead, it was a note, hand-written on a napkin.
One of the friends took a picture of the note.
It reads:
"Dear (name omitted,)
"The woman's place is in the home. Your place is in the home. It even says so in the Bible. You may think that you're contributing to your household by coming into work, but you're not. While you're in here 'working' this is the reason your husband must see another woman on his way home from a long day at his work. Because you should be home taking care of the household duties, you may think what you are doing 'working' is right, it is really essentially a disgrace to his manhood and to the American family. So instead of coming to your 'job' and looking for handouts to feed your family, how's about going home and cleaning your house and cooking a hot meal for your husband and children, the way your husband and God intended, and help make America great again. Praying for families and our nation.
Love,
(Guests' last name)"
The couple signed the napkin with their last name.
The server was not ready to go on camera with her story, but offered the following information about it.
"They were a couple, mid-50s I would guess," the server said in a written note that her friend shared with WYFF News 4.
"I am not sure if they were local, having never served them before, but they did sound as though they were from this area."
