Red Lobster Waitress Who Received Racist Note on Receipt Gets $10K "Tip"by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
The Red Lobster waitress who said a customer left her a receipt with a racist slur has now received an equally unexpected shock - a five-figure "tip" check.
Toni Christina Jenkins of Franklin, Tenn., was stunned to find a receipt on the table with "none" on the "Tip" line and the N-word on the "Total" line.
"I was just stunned that it happened," Jenkins, 19, said of the Red Lobster racist receipt slur. "It's not something that you think would actually take place."
After posting a photo of the infamous receipt to Facebook September 10, her story sparked outrage online, prompting a California man to take action.
Matthew Hanson, founder of AddictingInfo (dot) org, heard Jenkins' story and started an online fundraiser called "Tips for Toni" that collected $10,749.
In place of Jenkins' non-tip on the bill for $44.53? Not a bad consolation prize.
"It was about sending a message to racists that Americans aren't going to tolerate that," Hanson said. "We raised $10,000 within 72 hours. It was really amazing."
Hanson presented the check September 30 to Jenkins, who was blown away.
"I literally screamed. I was so confused," Jenkins said. "I was just so thankful."
"I felt so blessed and honored that people came together on my behalf."
Citing company policy that prohibits employees from posting a guest receipt online, Red Lobster suspended Jenkins with pay after the story went public.
She has now resumed work, however, and the restaurant condemned racism.
"We are disgusted by the language used on this guest check; it has no place in our restaurant or anywhere else," a Red Lobster representative said.
"We were in constant communication with [our server] throughout this situation and have extended her a high degree of respect and caring for what happened."
"No one should have to endure what our employee went through."
Some online commenters called the authenticity of the receipt into question, but Jenkins stands by her story and said she felt it should be shared.
Just goes to show how alternately awful, and wonderful, people can be ...
The customer filed a lawsuit against Red Lobster and Toni Jenkins in Williamson County (Tennessee) Circuit Court on May 22. My take on this? The customer was wronged as far as I can tell. And I can't believe how the management handled it, by (as far as we see) not investigating it at all but simply taking the server's word for it. I/we've been boycotting Red Lobster, and other Darden-owned restaurants, since September (I sent the protest email to Mike Bernstein of Darden). We're white, incidentally. Ms. Jenkins has been quoted as saying, "I was trying to bring attention to racism." That's a real irony. For one thing, in the post to her Facebook page with the receipt, she said, "...so happy to live in the proud southern states … God Bless America, land of the free and home of the low class racists of Tennessee." I'm sorry, but her comments about the "proud Southern states" and "racists of Tennessee" are nasty, stereotyped, prejudiced comments. They're not "racist" per se, but her comments are in the same boat. You might say "Oh c'mon, her 'geographic' comments aren't anywhere nearly as bad as racism is." That's true. But still -- we Americans might be less racist now than we were 50 years ago, but we've become more mean-spirited and more mean-mouthed. Anyway her actions, if anything, just caused white Americans who don't care for blacks to like blacks even less. And there's another irony, a really sad irony. We even seriously had a conversation with very thoughtful and thinking, college-educated white people in the L.A. area about whether we should ever use credit cards when dealing with black employees in a restaurant or any business anymore. Will the risk be too great? I mean, none of us wants to be racist or anything, but identity theft is a real threat and none of us want any chances taken when it comes to our credit cards. So maybe we'll have to be a little racist, I guess. And we know how wrong it is to judge an entire people based on the actions of just one. Still, way to go Ms. Jenkins. With Regards,
Cornell Kimball

Really @JC what are "my kind"....we are all human and everyone is my kind.... Doesn't matter white, black, Asian, Hispanic. EVERYBODY deserves respect!
Another fake waitress story and another fake racist story. Not sure what happened to real journalism, but they used to actually try and validate stories before printing them. So sad.
This story is old- it's been shown through analysis that the slur is FAKE, written by the waitress herself. So she got rewarded with attention and a lot of money by naive do-gooders. This was a takeout order. And the guy who simply wrote 'none' on the tip line has had his picture and info plastered all over the net, and has received death threats. THAT is the real story. This guy should sue Red Lobster and the waitress for defamation and harassment.

This is a nice gesture regardless of race. No one deserves to be treated poorly because of their race. How is the country going down the tubes because someone initiated a nice gesture? It's called karma dummies! This girl was doing her job. If you don't want to leave a tip, fine but you don't have to be a racist douche about it. JC - Please tell me how long whites have been receiving racial slurs from minorties compared to ANY other ethnic group receiving the same from whites? I'm expecting crickets on that. But as much as whites try to tell blacks and other people of color to get over their hundreds of years of racism, you freak out and become so appauled when you have to deal with it. I get it, it's wrong on all parties but see the bigger picture. A human was doing something nice for another human because another human was not. Deal with it and move on.
Are you missing the point that this whole thing was faked? Just like the other waitress that supposedly got a 1% tip from some anonymous guest when the occupy Wall Street us vs the 1% thing was big. Both stories, totally fake. No one used any racial slurs against this poor waitress who now has $10,000. perfect.
I totally agree with your post. True,true and.....true
So what you're saying is that she did a good job lying? She got caught Ronda. Good karma my butt. How can you lie and then say she deserves good karma, when her entire plan was to screw over the gentleman and his wife that ORDERED TAKE OUT!!! Since when do you leave a tip for taking out dinner?
Yeah it figures that white people would jump and embrace right away. IF a white woman received a racial slur from someone from a different ethnicity, nothing like this would happen, a white woman would not get 10K and trust me, a friend of mine did plenty of waitressing and she dealt with Afro American individuals that openly said racial slurs to her face and she did not get online support like this. This is a bit extreme if you ask me, 10K ? White people need to learn how to embrace their own kind before they embrace anyone else. This world is going down the tubes if you ask me.
but Shut Up now.

I was dying to get tickets to this, and was watching the CHM website like a hawk for them to become available, since November 13th when I first heard about it. No wonder they 'sold' out so quickly. I wonder why they didn't sell them.

I was watching for this talk, too. For some reason, the CHM never listed this talk on their regular email so I never knew when it was happening until I saw this notice in the Voice. :(

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KNSI) Hunters who entered Minnesota's wolf license lottery but lost get another chance starting Monday.
Entrants who were not selected in either the early or late season wolf license lottery can buy a surplus license on a first-come, first-served basis starting at noon Monday. The Department of Natural Resources says 614 surplus licenses that weren't claimed by lottery winners are available for the early season, which begins Nov. 3 and coincides with the firearms deer season. Any remaining early-season licenses will be offered to any eligible hunter starting Thursday.
The DNR allocated 3,600 wolf licenses for the early season. The remaining 2,400 licenses are for the late season, which begins Nov. 24, and concludes Jan. 31. Trappers were allocated 600 late-season licenses. The DNR has set a quota of 400 wolves.

Valley Community Bank gets Federal bailout?
Original post made by Tax Revolt, Country Fair, on Jan 13, 2009
Web Link
Why are no local news media reporting on our local bank receiving $5.5M in Federal TARP funds? TARP stands for Troubled Asset Relief Program. Are there troubled assets in VCB? Is this where our tax money goes? To banks where that are already 'well capitalized'? Why is there no press release on the VCB website? What are they trying to hide? Who can follow the money here to understand why a well capitalized bank needs/gets our tax money.

Who's Up for $50 Light Bulbs?
**Written by Doug Powers
A provision in the energy law signed by President Bush in 2007 mandates all light bulbs to be 70 percent more efficient in their use of electricity by the year 2020 (a bill mandating that government be 70 percent more efficient in their use of taxpayer dollars is nowhere in sight).
But don't worry, if you like lots of light, the 100-watt eco-friendly bulbs will be affordable — provided you're rich:
Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January.
Their demonstrations at the LightFair trade show in Philadelphia this week mean that brighter LED bulbs will likely go on sale next year, but after a government ban takes effect.
The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.
An underground economy for incandescent light bulbs is born.
I'm beyond perplexed by government officials and assorted Gorebots who lose sleep over how much earth-destroying electricity my incandescent bulbs devour and then try to convince me to help save the planet by purchasing a car I have to plug in. They know that electricity is generated from the same source… don't they?
Coming soon, the sale or importation of old school light bulbs will be illegal, which means that the following conversation may soon take place in a federal prison cell somewhere in the United States:
"What'cha in for?"
"Bank robbery. You?"
"Incandescent light bulb."
Update: It's been suggested that Washington might provide a few light bulb law waivers — if the price is right.

High marks for encryption algorithm.
To help allay fears that the secret algorithm, known as SKIPJACK, may contain a loophole or exhibit some other kind of weakness that could undermine the system, NSA gave five cryptography experts a chance to assess the algorithm's quality. "The government's new encryption algorithm is first-rate," concludes computer scientist Dorothy E. Denning of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., who participated in this independent review of the algorithm.
Incorporated in an integrated-circuit chip placed in a security device attached to a telephone, the algorithm handles digitized speech in 64-bit chunks. In essence, it converts each incoming string 64 ones and zeros into a scrambled sequence of the same length. It also requires the use of an 80-bit key as part of the encryption process.
Starting in late June, each of the five experts independently tested the SKIPJACK algorithm in a variety of ways, looking for potential flaws in the scheme. These tests failed to turn up any weaknesses. Indeed, the algorithm behaves "like a high-quality random-number generator," says Denning.
In a joint report, the five experts concluded that, even with tremendous increases in computer power, there was no significant risk that SKIPJACK could be broken in the next 30 or 40 years by an exhaustive search based on trying every possible key. They also dismissed the possibility that a shortcut method of attack would succeed.
Denning presented the group's findings at a meeting of the Computer System Security and Privacy Advisory Group, held late last month at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md. The other members of the SKIPJACK review panel are Ernest F. Brickell of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., Stephen T. Kent of BBN Communications Corp. in Cambridge, Mass., David P. Maher of AT&T in Andover, Mass., and Walter Tuchman of Amperif Corp. in Chatsworth, Calif.
Because SKIPJACK is just one component of a large, complex encryption system, these experts plan to assess the strength of the entire key-escrow scheme as soon as the federal government settles various technical details. "When it's ready, we'll evaluate it," Denning says.

PLAYERS: Claressa Shields
Gold medalist Claressa Shields received a standing ovation Wednesday as she was honored by lawmakers at the Michigan Capitol for her pugilistic prowess in the London Olympics. The 17-year-old boxer beat Nadezda Torlopova of Russia 19-12 to win gold in the first Olympics featuring women's boxing. The Michigan native was the only U.S. fighter to win gold at this year's games. The high schooler acknowledged that all the attention made her a bit nervous, noting it was her first time at the state Capitol. She was greeted by state senators and guests in the Senate gallery Tuesday afternoon in Lansing, and a similar reception was planned in the House. ''It looks like a castle, it's big,'' Shields said before exploring the Senate chamber. ''I feel numb because of the cameras and stuff (that) comes with the territory.'' Shields is a junior at Flint Northwestern High School in Flint, about 50 miles northwest of Detroit. Hundreds of Flint and Genesee County residents greeted her return home Monday at Bishop International Airport. ''This is not only a victory for Flint, Michigan. This is a victory for the ages,'' said Sen. John Gleason, who represents Genesee County. ''We got the gold and this is the face of the U.S. Olympics, right here.''

text: 2011 MacKinnon Middle School N. Van Houten Tessellations Grade: 7 Subject Area: Math Duration: 2 class periods Topic and Core Standard: Tessellations/4.2.4.B.1, 4.2.8.A.3, 4.2.12.B.3 Use simple shapes to cover an area Which polygons can be used alone to generate a tessellation and why Determine whether two or more given shapes can be used to generate a tessellation. Concept: Identify and create tessellations culminating in a group project. Essential Question: How does a shape tessellate? Objectives/Student Learning Outcomes: A. Students will identify tessellating shapes. B. Students will relate Geometry principles with tessellations. C. Students will associate tessellation with the artist M. C. Escher. D. Students will create a tessellation from their photograph and assemble into a group assignment. E. Students will create a tessellation from an equilateral triangle and create a piece of artwork. Materials: Digital cameras, computers, color laser printer, photo editing software, SMART Board, PowerPoint Presentation, ruler, protractor, paper, pencil, cardboard, paint, construction paper, scissors. Anticipatory Set Today we are going to do an art to math cross over project referring to M.C. Escher's work on tessellations. Your finished projects will be hung in the main hallway to the middle school with the final 6th – 8th grade group tessellation project (featuring pictures of each student in MacKinnon) in the form of a medieval castle. The 6th grade will form the castle and the 7th grade the mote and the 8th grade the dragon and fire. Teacher Actions: 1. Planning: This lesson will be spread out over the course of several weeks given the scale of the objective and the amounts of prep work involved in its successful completion. Day 1 – Introduction Step 1: Introduce Tessellations with PowerPoint on M.C. Escher Step 2: Give brief abstract on final product. (optional) Step 3: Discuss math principles and vocabulary related with Tessellations. Step 4: SMART Board activity creating tessellations with manipulatives. Step 5: Tessellation Activity – Teacher will go through step by step instructions on creating a tessellation. Students will start the activity during this class and have the opportunity to color their finished piece when they have time the next several days in Math class. Students can refer to an instructional video as an aide to those who need additional help - let them know they can access the video from the class computer. Step 6: Individual finished tessellations will be mounted to black construction paper to be hung during Medieval Fair. Day 2 - Photography Step 1: Photograph every student posed as if they were trying to break out of a box. Step 2: Students will continue class work while they are not being photographed. Make any necessary arrangements to photograph students who may be absent that day. *After photography has been taken it will be necessary to tint them as per the final design using photo editing software. The photos will be cropped as deemed necessary and printed in color. A Tessellation template will need to be prepared beforehand. Three shapes which easily tessellate will be prepared and a single shape will be assigned to each grade. Given the medieval theme of the end product, 6th grade, for example, could be a brick shape, 7th could be hexagonal, and 8th could be a diamond. Day 3 – Creating Tessellations from Photographs Step 1: Reinforce principles from first day. Step 2: Pass out photographs, scissors, and tessellation template. Step 3: Students will cut out template. Step 4: Students will place the template over their photograph in an interesting manner. Step 5: Trace tessellation on the photograph. Step 6: Cut the photograph out. Step 7: Clean up and collect material. Day 4 – Construction After having visited every math class in 6th – 8th grade, compile tessellated photographs and sort by grade level. After having counted a total number of shapes, create a scale model and/or blueprint of final object. Step 1: With permission and input from classroom teachers select several students for pull-out G&T. Step 2: Meet with the students and go over final objective for building with the tessellated shapes. Step 3: Begin construction on final tessellations using the photographs. Construction will take 5 – 6 meetings depending upon variables including drying time for paint and total time allotment. Assessment: Students will create tessellations and fill out Regular Polygon Tessellations data Table after teacher lead instruction.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — In the last echo of the 2012 presidential election to fade away in Texas, all 38 of the state's presidential electors cast their ballots for Republican nominee Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan.
The electors cast their ballots Monday as the Texas Electoral College met at the Capitol in Austin. The Romney-Ryan ticket drew all of the state's electoral votes because it outpolled President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden handily in the Texas popular vote.
Despite Texas and its electoral votes going for Romney, President Barack Obama won re-election by a 332 to 206 Electoral College tally.
New Texas Secretary of State John Sheen presided over the electors gathered the House Chamber.

Fixed Income Highlights
- One Pill Makes You Larger. And one pill makes you small. While the Fed took the one making QE smaller, the Bank of Japan took one making it larger. And yes, the ECB continues to take the "ones that mother gives you" that don't do anything at all. For the U.S. interest rate outlook, expanding global QE helps restrain the rise in longer-dated yields.
- A Surprisingly Hawkish Fed and, Finally, Rising Wages. The market read the October FOMC statement as surprisingly hawkish. But the Fed's surprise upgrading of the labor market proved prescient as the 3Q Employment Cost Index finally showed accelerating wages. Wages are the most lagging of lagging indicators highlighting that the well-entrenched though not particularly robust recovery no longer justifies emergency Fed support. We continue to expect the Fed to exit from zero interest rates before the market does and for that to lead to the largest increases in shorter maturity yields.
- Return to Achnacarry Castle. In 1928, the leaders of the global oil industry met at Achnacarry Castle, signing what became known as the "Achnacarry Agreement" to control global petroleum production. It didn't work. Today, a debate rages of a return of sorts. Falling oil prices reflect dramatic changes in the marginal supply of oil, shifting expectations for demand and, critically, a change in the outlook for monetary policy strengthening the dollar and weakening its equivalent measure in the price of oil.

Evaluating Campaign Quality
Can the Electoral Process be Improved?

moreFor a number of years, voters and academic observers have been dissatisfied with a number of elements of American campaigns. Contemporary races are seen as too negative, too superficial, and too unfair or misleading. Based on these complaints, a variety of reform organizations have targeted millions of dollars to improve the situation. Through their efforts and those within the academic community, a wide range of reform initiatives have been undertaken, such as voluntary codes of conduct, industry self-regulation, certificate programs, tougher ethics rules for consultants, and the encouragement of more substantive venues. This book seeks to evaluate whether these activities have improved the level of campaign discourse and conduct in US House and Senate campaigns and argues that while individual reform efforts have achieved some of their stated objectives, the overall effect of these reform efforts has been disappointing. less

During the 1600's hunters in the British Isles prized this breed for their hunting capabilities. As the demand for sporting Terriers decreased, the Hunt Terrier nearly became extinct. In the 1970's a few of these Terriers were imported to the United States from Ireland and England, where enthusiasts of this breed revived the Hunt Terrier. The Hunt Terrier breed is relatively rare.
Hunt Terrier's are extremely fearless, highly active, and bold. The Hunt Terrier is small, agile, and built to go to ground. They are squarely built with a narrow chest. This enabled them to enter the dens of fox and badger. They are very intelligent and remain a hunting breed with a strong prey drive.
The Hunt Terrier was never intended to be a household pet. However, they are loyal, attentive, and bond closely to their master. They possess a true Terrier temperament. Hunt Terrier's do best in a home with older considerate children. They have a tendency to be distrustful of strangers and make good watchdogs. They do not do well with dogs they have not been raised with and are not recommended for homes with non-canine pets. The Hunt Terrier breed is not recommended for inexperienced or first time dog owners. They are fierce, stubborn, and unrelenting.
Due to the rarity of this Hunt Terrier breed, there are no known health issues. Combing and brushing of the coat weekly is required. Bathing should be done when necessary. It is important to regularly check the ears, paw pads, and nails.
The Hunt Terrier comes in three different varieties of weather-resistant coat: Smooth, Broken, and Rough. The Smooth coat is flat, short, hard, and dense. The Broken coat lies closer to the body and has long guard hairs, is dense, and hard. The Rough coat is a double coat. The outer coat is wiry and dense. The under coat is dense and short. The hair on the muzzle and over the eyes form a beard and eyebrows.
The Hunt Terrier requires a dominant owner. Obedience and socialization training are recommended. This breed does not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, consistency, and fairness.
Highly energetic, the Hunt Terrier requires an inordinate amount of activity and exercise. They are not recommended for apartment or city living, or for those with sedentary lifestyles. Hunt Terrier's require a large securely fenced yard, or a rural setting. This breed must have daily opportunities to run and hunt.
Help reduce the number of dogs in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Hunt Terrier breeders to list and rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.
