If you’re wondering what today’s strip is about, then you must have missed the latest internet firestorm over Applebee’s firing a waitress for posting a customer’s receipt online.

You can easily Google the subject and find a ton of links to the story. Here’s the link to Yahoo’s News page:

As a former pizza delivery guy, I can sympathize with the fact that I used to receive a large variety of reactions from customers… some would tip well, some would tip okay and some would think I was simply there to be a punching bag for whatever crappy thing that was going on in their lives at the moment. Fortunately, I didn’t receive a whole heck of a lot of those but they did happen – but probably no where near what waiters and waitresses have to go through these days.

That being said, I think the waitress probably should have blurred out not only the customer’s signature but also what establishment she was working for too. That may not have saved her job – and, in all likelihood, this still probably would have ended up being an internet sensation.

So, what are your feelings about this particular story? On what side do you fall on?
