From Fox News: A New Jersey waitress who received thousands of dollars in gratuities after claiming she received a homophobic note in lieu of a tip has been let go by the restaurant at which she worked.
Dayna Morales, a 22-year-old former Marine, claimed last month that a family of four who racked up a $93.55 bill at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Branchburg, N.J., left her no tip, only a note saying they couldn’t leave any extra cash for her service because they “do not agree with your lifestyle.” http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/08/waitress-in-anti-gay-receipt-flap-has-employment-ended/
I am sensitive to people who lose their jobs, but in this case, this idiot deserved to lose her job and never again work in a field that deals with customers.
Yes, she has problems, but even worse is that so many people were so eager to believe her even though her story was so obviously a huge lie. People were so eager to believe a lying waitress and condemn a conservative family, and that is one of the big tragedies. It's time that these idiots who believed her offer up some apologies as well. They were just as stupid as the lying former waitress.
My friend Jamie says the gay blogosphere is ripping on this lying former waitress and I certainly hope so because they look silly otherwise.

Anybody who supported this girl got snookered. And--though I didn't jump on the bandwagon--it was not completely unbelievable, since a similar incident happened not long ago. She was a copycat, sure. But it just as easily could have turned out that the customer was a copycat. So, I don't blame people she fooled. But yes, sites like Towleroad and Joe.My.God. have exposed her hoax, and not in some quiet little blurb, but in follow-up stories.
