1. Good

She has no sympathy from me.

2. If she perpetrated the hoax (and it appears she did)

This is a good outcome

6. Clearly, this woman's character leaves a lot to be desired

I suppose it is a good thing that she is very unskilled at perpetrating fraud. Jeeze of Pete ... some people

[Skittles]

7. I think she may have mental health issues

she needs to get some help

[etherealtruth]

8. I don't know what her issues are ....

... but, agree that she has issues.

I can't fathom actions like this ....?

[Skittles]

9. it's makes little sense

she had issues in the military, and here she did something that could and most certainly would be easily disproved

20. Thanks for posting a link to the story

I remember reading about this a few weeks ago and being torn about what really happened. Once the TV station got involved and the couple produced bank statements, the whole thing started to unravel.

Here is the statement from the restaurant's Facebook page:

The Gallop Asian Bistro has taken seriously the allegations made by Ms. Dayna Morales, and those made against her. Despite news reports to the contrary, this is not a simple, straight-forward matter and we have conducted our own internal investigation. The results of that investigation are inconclusive as to exactly what happened between Ms. Morales and the customers that night. However, in light of the investigation and recent events, both Ms. Morales and Gallop Asian Bistro have made a joint decision that Ms. Morales will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant. We wish her well in the future.

Overall, this has been an unfortunate incident for Gallop Asian Bistro, our employees, and our customers. We are dedicated to providing excellent Asian cuisine and superior service. We have the utmost faith in our management and staff and we welcome the opportunity to serve our customers.

4. There is enough of this kind of bigotry/hate for real, so no need to manufacture it.

Hope she learns from this, and maybe customers might be a little more sensitive too. Hope this ends well for everyone.

10. Since the customers didn't do anything

wrong, it really shouldn't be very difficult for them to be a little more sensitive.

[Hoyt]

11. Actually, some customers do -- usually those from the white wing, Christian bunch.

5. If she made this up then shame on her.

12. Terrible.

It appears she lied thru her teeth.

13. Well that blew up in her face, didn't it? n/t

[backscatter712]

14. She brought that on herself. n/t

15. fraud for financial gain

Hope DA is considering charges

[CatWoman]

16. notice she eerily resembles

Zimmerman?

17. I smelt a rat from the beginning of this story.

My main question was, even if the customers were bigots, how on earth did they know she was a lesbian? I can't recall ever being aware of the sexual orientation of my server in a restaurant.

[NaturalHigh]

19. I wondered the same thing.

How many customers sit and around and wonder if their server is a lesbian?

[NaturalHigh]

18. I wonder if fraud charges will be filed.

Ms. Morales is apparently not the brightest bulb.
