Hateful customer leaves shocking tip for gay server at Kansas eatery: ‘That hurt me a lot’
A teenage waiter in Kansas was reduced to tears when a hateful customer scrawled a homophobic slur on his receipt in place of a tip.
“That hurt me a lot. I’m not the type to cry at work, but I gotta say, that was definitely the first time that had happened to me,” Noah Bierig told KAKE.
Bierig, 19, was working his serving shift at Bubba’s 33 in Wichita earlier this month when he encountered the cruel customers.

The group exuded negative energy from the beginning — Bierig noticed in particular that they were staring at his painted nails and a Pride bracelet, which was a gift his mother gave him when he came out as gay six years earlier.
“The first time I went up to the table, they were just shooting me a couple dirty looks. And every time I would walk away, they would kind of just start laughing a little bit,” Bierig told the outlet.
