Mexican restaurant fires back after customer leaves racist ‘tip’
The owner of a Mexican restaurant put a customer on blast after the man left a racist note on the receipt
nstead of leaving a tip, the man who dined at Charrito’s Bar & Grill in Huntsville, Ala., on Saturday penned a lewd missive to the waitstaff, according to the restaurant’s Facebook page.
“Brown c–ts,” the diner wrote on the receipt. “Trump will f–k you all.”
The restaurant said the man’s visit was normal — barring a comment he made when asked whether he wanted to pay cash or card, according to news station WHNT. The customer allegedly said, “Do white people ever use cash?”
It wasn’t until after he left that the racist note on the receipt was brought to the restaurant’s attention.
The restaurant owner, Vanessa Martinez, took to social media to fire back at his comments.
“We would like to let everyone know that this behavior is not tolerated in our restaurant,” she wrote in a Facebook message. “Our staff and any customers in our facility require respect.”

Burger joint shutters after video shows workers grilling rat
A restaurant in Hawaii was forced to close temporarily when a stomach-turning video of a rodent sizzling on its grill popped up on social media, according to reports.
“We are horrified a former employee would create something like this trying to destroy our reputation without regard for our 20-plus years of quality and aloha,” Teddy’s Bigger Burgers President Richard Stula told Hawaii News Now.
The video, which surfaced on Snapchat, appears to show two teenage workers joking as they fry up the baby rat next to a beef patty at the restaurant in Honolulu.
“Braaaaah. Gnarly. Employees at Teddy’s Bigger Burger cooking a rat at the 99 ranch location. Ummmmm … so gnar,” reads the caption, according to a screengrab posted by Fox News.
The restaurant fired at least one employee — and plans to conduct a “complete sanitization” of equipment and replace utensils, company reps told the station.
“We will then send a corporate team in to inspect and complete a thorough audit of the location before it is allowed to re-open,” Stula told Fox.
He added, “We are horrified that a former teenage employee would conduct themselves in that way and make such a video of which we are investigating its authenticity.”
The state’s Department of Health was scheduled to inspect the restaurant Friday.

Florida man shoots up the home of person who left bad restaurant review
A bad restaurant review prompted a man in Florida to fire shots at the home of the person behind the online complaint, according to police.
Deputies said the Daybreak Diner owner’s son, Michael Johnson, was upset that a customer shared a post on Aug. 19 claiming the Orlando restaurant didn’t accommodate her disabled mother, news station WFTV reported.
The patron, Monica Walley, reportedly complained that employees were “unnecessarily rude” and she launched a social media campaign against the diner.
Johnson soon expressed his anger about the review to his roommates, Normal Auvil and Jesse Martin, while they were drinking beer Aug. 20 at their home, according to the report.
The trio found Walley’s address online, then drove to the residence “with the intent to harm someone” or cause property damage, according to an affidavit obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.
From the vehicle, Auvil fired three shots into the home, nearly hitting someone on a couch in the living room, authorities said.
Auvil, 42, was arrested Thursday and charged with shooting into a building, shooting from a vehicle and abuse of a disabled person.
“Both Martin and Johnson expressed concern for their safety and stated they had witnessed or been subjected to violent outbursts by Auvil in their residence,” according to the police report.

‘I didn’t even get my food yet’: Melee erupts at Denny’s
A video of a knock-down, drag-out brawl at a Denny’s in Albany has gone viral — racking up more than 2.5 million views on Facebook after it was posted online by a popular comedian known as “Nick Nack Pattiwhack.”
“What is you doing, baby?! I didn’t even get my food yet, baby!” the Louisiana native can be heard saying, as plates and punches fly in all directions.
“We live, baby! Yea!” he adds.
Authorities confirmed Sunday that the fight took place early Saturday at around 4:20 a.m. at the Denny’s off of Wolf Road in Colonie, according to the Albany Times Union.
No arrests were made and no one was ticketed, cops said.
The melee was caught on tape by Nick Joseph, aka “Nick Nack Pattiwhack,” who was at the restaurant with his famous side-kick, Dan Rue.
The jokesters, both from Baton Rouge, are known for their crazy antics and online videos — which include joking around in celebrities houses and public places. They’ve coined a slew of catchphrases, such as “We live, baby!” and “That’s the one, Danielson!”
Pattiwhack uses several of them in the fight video, which starts out with the pair inside Denny’s as tension begins to escalate between two groups of people.
For some unknown reason, punches are eventually thrown — with plates breaking and silverware flying everywhere — while Pattiwhack performs his shtick and watches the drama unfold.
“Oh, baby! They live, baby!” he says, unfazed by the battle going down inside the Denny’s.
“What is you doing, baby?! Oh no, baby!”
At one point, Pattiwhack musters up the courage to go over to where a trio of girls are fighting and grabs his drink off the table next to them. The move has garnered him some hate on social media, with many condemning him for not jumping in to stop the violence.
“I can’t believe u didn’t save some one,” wrote one Facebook user. “Smh peter Pipe a f–k u!!! That ain’t cool.”
Another added, “Real talk…This wasnt cool or funny at all. I like you two guys, yall make me laugh but this is sad seeing grown folks especially black women acting like hoodlums and you promoting it.”
In response to the comments, Pattiwhack wrote: “My job as a crime stopped us to record and gather faces .. that way I don’t get touched and they don’t get touched by me.”
Police said they wouldn’t be releasing a report on the incident due to the personal information regarding those who were mentioned. Denny’s would not comment on what happened, either.
