Well, for one, they are fat. They GOD DAMN fat. So, they should go fuck themselves. Really. I am just too tired of fat people, in real life and on the internet. FAT PEOPLE CAN GO AND FUCK THEMSELVES!
Sorry, it has been a long day…[/quote]
Hah I always like to read the comments on these types of articles.
“I hope Nikos Samara filthy comment is removed very soon!”
It’s funny should be on a sitcom but not cool guy should be seriously reprimanded. I doubt he was calling them fat girlz to their face he shouldnt’ be putting it on their bill.

Definitely funny that this situation exists,
However, I agree it’s fairly uncool that this ended up happening.
Imagine if someone was a paraplegic or had terrible acne, and something similar was annotated on a bill.
EDIT: Watched vid. Give me a break @ the woman going for the sentimental lip-quiver and “this is something we have to deal with.” [/quote]
I feel bad for the people who are relatively normal and have no way to move past these things.
These women though, they have Ben & Jerries, a whole universe of cakes and pastries, sticks of butter, the list is endless.
Restaurant manager should have just given them a big caramel sunday in a five gallon bucket and let them nosh their way into a better state of mind.

I suspect you are kidding, but this is rarely a good idea because it can backfire.
If a person is unused to this type of attention the flirtation can be mistaken for a deeper interest, though it will more likely come off as too obvious, causing the person to shut down or become defensive. The latter results in a smaller tip as people don’t appreciate their emotions being toyed with. The shutting down response is partly why FFKs (former fat kids) can come across as cold when someone hits on them. In spite of their outward appearance, they may still be mentally responding to advances as a ‘fatty’.
Most restaurants have designations for tables and even seating positions, so putting “Fat Girls” on the bill was unnecessary. However, I don’t believe the waiter should have been punished for what a co-worker put on the bill. He was just an easy target for management.
I don’t really have any particular sympathy for these particular girls (at least not after watching their overly-emotional little video commentary)…but, the guy who put that on the receipt was a stupid twat. He demonstrated the exact same mentality as the idiot who wrote ‘lady chinky eyes’ on that Asian woman’s receipt at the pizza joint earlier this year.
If he’s careless enough to do that, he’s going to be careless with other customers, too.
Besides, he’s being paid to maintain a certain illusionary atmosphere. That’s why you go to a restaurant and pay restaurant prices. You don’t pay money to hear some random stranger’s annoying opinions about everything…we get that on the internet for free.
Unless you’re going to Dick’s Last Resort…but I’m assuming that this wasn’t that sort of establishment.

This sums up my feelings pretty well. Them trying to capitalize on it is stupid, but his actions were as well.

The manager offered to take off 25% of the bill, HA! He should have known to comp the meal and try to get back the receipt ASAP before they put it on twitter/facebook/news/etc.
This kind of thing just happens in high turnover industries.

He’d have been more successful if he’d offered a free dessert or three… each…
My money comes from selling fatty deep fried food to people. The waiter is lucky the owner didn’t kick his azz. That’s like a Street Hooker explaining to her Pimp the Money is lite because she is calling her John’s Sad Pathetic Limp Dicks.
