Red Lobster Waitress Gets $10K Tip After Racist Receipt

A Red Lobster waitress, who said a customer left her a receipt with a racist slur, has received the tip of a lifetime, thanks to a fundraising from online supporters.
Toni Christina Jenkins of Franklin, Tenn., said she was shocked when she saw 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. "It's not something that you think in our generation would actually take place, so I was just blown away by it."
After posting a picture of the receipt to Facebook Sept. 10, her story sparked outrage online, prompting a California man to take action. Matthew Hanson, founder of AddictingInfo.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.
i reference Addictinginfo, and will remain faithful good pr but even better gesture.
don't let the negatives to come take away from this moment of anti racism, they are rare and we need to focus on them more regardless to where they come from a good deed is a good deed you can't take away from it.  no matter how hard some might try.
