Waitress in Anti-Gay Note Dispute Was Dishonorably Discharged From Marines
2013-12-03
[NBCNEWYORK] The New Jersey waitress whose story has been questioned after she claimed she received an anti-gay note instead of a tip on a restaurant bill was discharged under dishonorable terms from the Marines last spring after she stopped showing up, NBC 4 New York has learned.

Dayna Morales, a server at Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, had posted a photo on Facebook earlier this month showing the bill with a line through the tip area. The photo of the receipt showed someone had written, "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle."

A New Jersey couple came forward to NBC 4 New York and said this week that the receipt was theirs but that they had left a tip and did not write a note, suggesting it was used for a hoax. The handwriting, they said, was not theirs, and they also supplied what they said was a credit card statement showing they were charged for the total plus the $18 tip.

NBC 4 New York learned Wednesday from a Pentagon source that Morales was dismissed from the Marine Reserve Corps in May because she wasn't attending drills. It wasn't immediately clear how often those drills were held, and Morales did not respond to a request for comment.

Morales was formally discharged, or released from the Marines, under conditions that were other than honorable, according to the source.

She was stationed in Newburgh, N.Y., and began serving in July 2009, military sources said.

A woman who served with Morales told NBC 4 New York that the commitment is a serious one.

"I wouldn't want anyone to think she was a part of my Marine Corps family, because she's not," said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous because she is still on active duty.

#6  she's a serial liar. I agree. F*ck her. Her name, face, reputation should be in the crapper. Nothing she ever says should be believed

#5  No pity - in fact I *hate* these people who make false accusations like this. First of all she is not just a liar - but a f*cking liar.

There is the slander against an innocent family who probably paid her much more of a tip then she deserved. Then there is the Fraud by falsifying the receipt and then posting it publically.

I am tired of people like this being able to skate on their responsibility. Looks like she's has a history of just this sort of BS which she probably gets away with.

#3  Over at AoS a post says that these hate hoaxes are a form of Munchausen's Syndrome. Get instant attention without the hassle of induced vomiting.

#2  If she faked the note I have no pity. That's a dispicable thing to do.

Hoaxes should be prosecuted as if they are the hate crimes they mimic since the hate crime laws were designed because of the terror they spread to a community beyond the specific crime scene there is really no difference with a hoax.

#1  I have to feel sorry for her, other stories are coming out from her co-workers about Ms. Morales having to "broaden the truth". Serious problems ahead for her.
