Which the family provided the credit-card statement which also said that they tipped.
but that wasn't an actual statement. it was a print out of their online statement which could be "fixed" in about 5 minutes and printed out.

Actually you may have proved the opposite. Look at the stub that says the total with tip is $111.55. Then look below on the same stub. Computer print says $93.55.
The computer print out below the signature area can not reflect the total amount after tip, only the amount before hand as the tip is entered separately when the check is closed. Until the check is finalized in the POS the slip that the customer signs is only a preauthorization and could not under any circumstances show the final amount including tip, the POS system provides a different receipt upon the closing of the check that in most restaurants is stapled to the check that has the customers signature.
For the customer, the only place the tip shows up as hard proof it has been entered is their credit card statement which in this case has been reviewed and has been shown to have the full amount of the bill + the tip added which is concrete proof that either the server or manager entered the tip when they closed the check.
It's the ONE thing on ATS I really am an expert on lol! I have worked at 18 different restaurants and have intimate knowledge operating and managing no less than a dozen different POS systems!edit on 26-11-2013 by Helious because: (no reason given)
here's where i'm stumped on this story and wonder if there was more to this.
don't POS systems print "copy" or "reprint" if you have to make another copy of a transaction? i haven't worked one in a very long time but i do remember then ones i did use always said that which prevents fraud.
my other "scenario" that seems plausible is: customers don't a leave tip. waitress or manager at the end of the night goes ahead and adds in a tip because they try to pull a fast one on some customers that stiffed a waitress. customers see the stuff on the news and then when they look at their bill they see that a tip was added in that they didn't intend to leave (i know restaurants and bars do that sometimes). they are "receipt keepers" (i'm not one of those types) and decide to write in the tip and go to the news to make the waitress look bad because they are pissed that a tip was added when they didn't want it to be.
is that even plausible? possibly?
so far everyone is claiming the handwriting doesn't belong to them. whose handwriting is it??

Not surprising considering the gay agenda we're all forced to live with these days.

I have no problem with the government recognizing civil unions. I wish that was all it did. A lot of people call that a marriage, and I'm fine with that.
If you want more than just legal recognition, then you go for the spiritual aspect. There are religious groups that freely recognize same sex unions, even some Christian denoms, and I'm fine with that, too.
All of this is freedom at work. That's what it's all about, or what it's supposed to be all about.
However, if you go that route. It means there will still be some religions and some denoms that will not recognize same sex unions. If I'm fine with the ones who do, homosexuals should also tolerate the ones who do not. Live and let live, right?
Somehow, their behavior over business owners who will serve them freely right up until being asked to participate in a ceremony they don't believe in and believe violates their conscience leads me to believe otherwise.

Person. She is a bad person. She is not the leader of gay people. Her actions are in no way indicative of how the majority of gay people act. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that gay people everywhere were pissed about what she'd done before it came to light she had lied. Get it out of your head that gay people are all that different. They are not. They just like fishing for a different kind of trout than us straighties. All they really want is a fishing license. That's not so scary an agenda.

This isn't a 'gay agenda' thing. It's a 'serial liar' thing.
She lied about her military record. She lied about being in combat.
She lied about being blown up by a road side bomb.
SHe lied about being the sole survivor of her unit that got wiped out in combat.
She lied about being pregnant. SHe lied about the baby dying from cancer.
She lied about herself having cancer.
She lies to get sympathy and attention.

The alleged incident made national headlines and resulted in thousands of dollars being donated to Morales, who said she would send all proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project. But a representative of the Florida-based charity could not confirm Morales had made any donations as of Wednesday,
A representative for the nonprofit group that caters to veterans returning from overseas checked for donations by Morales’ name and within the ZIP codes for Bridgewater, N.J., where she worked, and Bedminster, where Morales said she lives, and was unable to locate any correlating donations. The donations may have been made from a different ZIP code or by a third-party, the representative told the website.

Making up stories to make people sympathetic and/or cause more hate.
Hmmm.
Where have we seen that before?
I'm really glad the couple came forward, and proved this wrong. We don't need anymore hate being spread.
AMEN
It seems whoever can scream the loudest and the longest receives headlines today unless you belong to a minority group (NOT RACE) than all you have to do is act hurt and start crying... the press will take it from there.

I never understood why this news article came out in the first place?
Just like the starving children in Africa and the cameraman filming the starving children all the while the spokesperson then asking for your money
