Hoaxcrime: Man accused of writing 'N*****' on receipt given to black Red Lobster waitress sues restaurant and waitress

Original Story: Thread: Red Lobster waitress gets 10k tip after racist receipt



Update: White customer of a possible Hoaxcrime is suing for one million dollars



A Tennessee man who was accused of using a racial slur on a receipt at a Red Lobster restaurant last year is suing the restaurant chain and the waitress who cashed in on the incident after she posted a copy of the receipt on the Internet.

Devin Barnes, 21, claims he never wrote the racial slur on the receipt, and that the negative attention he received as a result of the way Toni Christina Jenkins - the waitress who claims to have received the slur - publicized the incident is slanderous. .

On the receipt, a photo of which was posted on Facebook and Youtube in September by the 19-year-old waitress, the line designated for a tip read 'none.' On the line for the total, it read 'n***er.'


Jenkins left a caption on the photo that was uploaded to her Facebook page that read 'This is what I got as a tip last night...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.'
