"I got the bill, I was looking at bill [and] I was like, 'Why does this receipt say 'fat girls?'" customer Christine Durant said. The friends had dined out at the Stockton, Calif., restaurant, which is a part of the Cameo Casino Restaurant on Thursday. The bill lists charges for three tri-tips with fries and three sodas, for a total of $25.50. A bartender named Jeff had apparently typed in "Fat Girls" to keep track of their bill. When Duran asked a manager for an explanation, he "had like a smirk on his face, like it was funny but trying not to laugh," she said. The dining experience went from bad to worse when the restaurant demanded they still pay the bill, offering them a 25 percent discount and then a 50 percent discount. They declined both offers. In a Facebook message overnight, Maggie Lewis, the Cameo Club Casino owner, apologized and said the insulting treatment Duran and her friends had received is "intolerable in our establishment." Jimmy Siemers co-owner of Chilly D's, didn't work the night Duran and her friends received the offensive receipt, but he said he is trying to clean up the mess. "I just want to tell them we're sincerely sorry and we'll do everything in our power to make sure this never happens to anyone again," he said. It's certainly not the first time customers have been insulted on receipts. In January, a Papa John's employee was fired after writing "Lady Chinky Eyes" on a receipt to identify an Asian customer. A Maryland woman was insulted at a RadioShack in March when she purchased a cassette tape adapter and left with a receipt that read "ugly itch" from "tattoville," referring to the tattoos on her arm in memory of a child lost to SIDS and her deceased mother. "Based on descriptions we've seen in the media, this incident obviously does not meet RadioShacks's expectations for customer service," Eric Bruner, a spokesman for RadioShack told ABC News. "RadioShack responded immediately after seeing reports in the media, taking the strongest possible disciplinary actions." It is against company policy to discuss individual personnel matters but the company has taken the "strongest action available" in response to the issue, the spokesman said. http://gma.yahoo.com...topstories.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Its seems they should number the table and put it on the receipt...when taking orders. Well, the blood hasn't reached their brains yet. On a related note, here in my town, we have a catering company that goes by the name "Three Fat Ladies." They catered a company luncheon that I attended. They really were "three fat ladies," and they were the sweetest ladies you'd ever meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These women need to develop thick skin, especially in today's society where people are becoming crueler and meaner to each other. Since their feelings were hurt, the Manager should have made the bill come out of the "comedian's" tips and also given them a drink or two on the house.

I don't completely disagree with you, but I also think that there's a serious issue in this country with a lack of common decency and respect for others. Were I a business owner who found out one of my employees had treated a customer this poorly, that employee would find themselves out of a job immediately. Speaking as someone who's held more than one job where I dealt heavily with the public on a daily basis, I know that the days of companies putting customers first are rapidly vanishing. Companies make no effort to train their employees, and apparently, parents aren't teaching their children common courtesy either. It all adds up to workers who treat customers with contempt and disrespect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
