Teens Write "Black" on Gratuity Line and Leave Restaurant, Server Rushes to Confront Them: "You're Black, therefore you don't have to tip?"

A group of teenagers found themselves in an uncomfortable situation when a server left the restaurant and directly confronted them about the word "black" they had written on the gratuity bill. The server found their reaction to the confrontation so satisfying that she didn't even care about receiving tips.

It's not uncommon for teenagers to push boundaries with their jokes, sometimes not realizing when a joke crosses the line. However, there was a particular group of teenagers who took joking to an extreme level by making a racist joke at a restaurant. They went as far as writing the word "black" on the gratuity bill, with no additional context or explanation.

TikToker Amira @being.amira shared a now-viral clip showcasing her own form of "karma" on some teenagers who thought it would be funny to write "black" on the gratuity line.

The server, calling out to the teens after they left the bill behind, asked, "Hey guys. I just want a little bit of clarification. What does this mean?"

When questioned about it, the teen featured in the video appeared completely clueless about the meaning of the word "black."

Pressing further, Amira confronted the teen, firmly asking, "You don't know what black means?" Despite the pressure, the teen maintained his position, insisting that he had no idea why he had written the word on the receipt.

The server, in a challenging tone, confronted him with, "You're Black, therefore you don't have to tip?"

Showing signs of nervousness, the teen offered to tip Amira, but she declined the offer and walked away, feeling satisfied that she had exacted her own form of revenge.

Others took pleasure in just picturing the discomfort of the teens, with one comment humorously stating “I know their heart was beating fast. That’s what they get,” while another playfully speculated, “I j know his palms were sweaty.”

Direct Confrontation as Karma

In a follow-up video, Amira clarified several points about the incident, one of which was her strong stance on never “exposing” the names or faces of the teens involved. She believed that confronting them directly was the “karma” they deserved, and she felt no need to go further.

No Need to Expose Them

“I'm sure they have seen the video…So whatever guilt is eating them up is probably good enough for me,” she says in the video, “Hopefully, their parents come across it and can identify that highlighter a.s outfit and those dusty a.s crocs.”

“I Have Bills To Pay”

Continuing her explanation of why she won’t expose those teens, the creator says, “The child also wasn't that smart because he paid with his card with his full name on it. But I'm not gonna expose that for reasons. Because I wanna keep my job. I have bills to pay here.”

Was the Cash She Was Holding a Tip?

Amira also wanted to address a misunderstanding among some TikTok viewers. Some people mistakenly thought she took money from the teen, but she asserted that she did not accept any cash from them and that the money she was seen holding at the end was actually the check they left.

A Clear Message

The creator continued to explain her reasoning behind confronting the teens, stating,  “I didn't come here for a tip. They thought that s..t was funny, so I want to get the joke, too, because it wasn't like they wrote, you are your stupid black, or you're whatever. It was just black.”

“So I'm like, I go up to my co-workers and my manager, I'm like, ‘hey, guys, look what the f..k these kids just left me.’ I'm, like, trying to read it, like, block, blank, but clear as day. That s..t says black.”

Server's Frustration Over Tipping Out

What further saddened the server about the situation was the fact that she makes $2.13 per hour and she had to tip out a portion of her earnings. So whenever a customer entered the restaurant and chose not to leave a tip, it meant that she was actually losing money. “I just made no f..king money off that,” she points out. 

“You Guys Are Stupid”

Amira continued to express her frustration as she explained why she specifically chased those particular teens. She clarified, “I don't chase out every customer that stiffs me. It's just the fact that they could have just left a blank or wrote ‘zero’ but no, they chose to wrote ‘black.’”

“So I grab a check and I walk out there. I'm like, ‘hey, guys, what is this?’ I don't take any money. I'm like, Okay, I got what I need to get. You guys are just clearly stupid. And I go back to finish my shift.”
