Dayna Morales; that gay waitress liar chick (UPDATED)
Scroll for update on her actual military service.
I know everyone has been waiting for me to tell them that Dayna Morales, the gay waitress who got stiffed for a tip, isn’t a Marine, but honestly, I don’t know. But The Daily Mail has a picture of her in a Marine uniform, wearing the chick hat;
If you don’t know the story, she claimed that a family stiffed her on the tip at the restaurant where she worked because somehow they figured out that she is a lesbian. The she got an outpouring of $$$ from people who sympathized with her, but the the family that she claims stiffed her came forward with the following evidence to the contrary;
That didn’t prove anything to me, but today there’s the actual billing statement which corroborates the family’s story;
I’ve got nothing against lesbians, I have a couple of lesbian friends and about 3 gigabytes of lesbian porn. If that doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what does. But I don’t like liars and Dayna is looking like a liar with a political agenda.
UPDATE: LoHud says that they called the Marines about her service;
A spokesman for the Marines, Major Shawn Haney, said in an email that Morales had served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve from July 13, 2009, to May 21, 2013 at the rank of Lance Corporal, E-3, as an administrative specialist. She was assigned to the Marine Air Group 49, 4th Marine Air Wing out of Newburgh and deployed from April to June 2012 to Romania as part of the Black Sea Rotational Force 11.
“There is no indication of combat service in Iraq or Afghanistan,” he added in a follow-up email. Also, “While (Morales) did not fulfill her reserve obligation, per the Privacy Act, administrative actions are not releasable. The same applies to character of service and type of discharge.”

She may have been a Marine, but she sure isn’t showing the honor of one if she has to talk up a bullshit tale like this.
Yes, she was a Marine…..but, I am curious about the circumstances of her separation and if she truly did give the money she was getting to Wounded Warriors..
Wrapped up with a bow on a top. She owes an apology to the diners, just for starters. It’s one thing to lie. It’s quite another to lie in a way that harms others. What she did is simply despicable. But I guess it’s not her fault. Her gayhood was hidden for many year. Yeah, that’s it. She learned to lie to hide her gayhoodiness. It’s not her fault that she lied. Plus, she may be heterophobic.
Hey, Can we call her Tawana Morales now?
What, everyone doesn’t ask their server what their sexual orientation is? Granted it would be pretty obvious if it was a male talking about “Charmed” (smile) or gushing over Justin Beiber.
Wasn’t that Wolf chick supposed to be a lesbian Marine and she falsely said she was attacked. Just sayin’.
What’s the turnaround time for verifying her service history? Word is she has a history of making stuff up (like cancer), so I’m wondering if her service was OTH or not at all.
Did she not think that the people she was claiming stiffed her and wrote an anti-gay screed would defend themselves?? The era of instant information makes what she did a damn near guarantee. I didn’t buy her story to begin with. Plus, she went on a gay site to tell her tale of woe and garner sympathy, so that set off a red flag right there.
#7 Fen; we never know the character of their service with a FOIA – it would be speculation.
I’m still stuck on why I’m supposed to give a shit about the orientation of a server in a restaurant. For starters, I don’t care, and prefer not to know.
On the other hand, if a server insists that I know, I will diminish the tip accordingly. Should I ever decide that exposed boobs, for instance, is something which I wish to view while eating dinner, I will go to Hooters. Until then, looking at body parts or contemplating what my server might do for sexual gratification should not be demanded as part of my dining experience.
Sounds like a personal problem with this gal, one which she should not have insisted that others share. But, we were not there, so who knows. The evidence certainly is stacking up against her.
Looks like just another liar, this one getting the negative attention she apparently wanted.
Fen: Jonn’s right. One of the items of info that NPRC will NOT normally release is the characterization of discharge. Apparently that’s considered protected information. (Whether it should be or not is another argument.)
On rare occasions they slip up – I’ve seen one or two cases where they did – but not very often.
After looking at the images of the receipts, most people typically never fill-out anything on the “Customer Copy.” Furthermore, if you look at the “Total Amount” of both receipts; $93.55 and $111.55, the 55 on both do not match. The 55s on the merchant copy, the tops of the 5s have straight and angled tops while the bottom of the fives look like inverted sickles; on the other hand, the 5s from the customer copy have curvy tops that loop-up and the bottoms look like a backwards letter “c” – basically, these latter 55s look curvier.
@11 Hondo
I think they have selective “slips”
The first time I ever requested records was to verify the outlandish claims of a shit talking VFW Post Commander
Come to find out he never made it through IET..much less Vietnam
They gave me dang near everything on the guy
Jonn can you help me out. As a relatively new reader at TAH compared to many others, how do I tell the author of the article posted, such as this one. The others seem to know if it is you, TSO or someone else. Are you the default, so to speak, author of most posts? Thanks guys for any help.
P.S. She is better looking than the average BAM I remember.
@12: I always fill out my copy, as far as how much of a tip I leave and I usually put the total in, also, for my own records. This couple seems to do that, also, plus the statement matching what the couple say they paid and it’s starting to look like a scam by the waitress. If they didn’t leave a tip and the waitress or manager put one in, then they are guilty of theft and fraud, so I highly doubt that they added money to the bill that wasn’t authorized by the patron.
@1: You know how I knew this was fabricated?
Because these stories are ALWAYS
There is a third possibility….one of her co-workers who a) doesn’t like her, or b) doesn’t like lesbians, or c) all of the above could have punked her with a fake receipt showing what she believed to be prejudice coming from her customer. I believe it would be no difficult feat for someone to reprint a copy of the receipt and give her the fake one, all the while putting the correct receipt in for payment.
Just a thought to ponder.
http://gawker.com/couple-denies-leaving-anti-gay-note-in-lieu-of-tip-say-1471776018
“…The couple came forward because of the donations Morales is receiving, a percentage of which she’s said she’ll donate to the Wounded Warrior Project. “I just felt like people have a right to know that—it’s fine if people want to donate to her or to the Wounded Warriors, but they’re doing it under a false pretense,” the wife said.
When contacted by NBC 4, neither the restaurant’s manager nor its owner could produce the original receipt or explain why the family was charged $18 more than Morales claimed.
For now, Morales is standing by her story, though not in the most convincing manner. “I don’t know, all I know is what I’ve been saying,” she told NBC 4. “That’s not my handwriting. I don’t know.”
As for calling her “Dan” instead of Dayna, the couple says that was a misunderstanding. They thought the hostess said their server would be named Dan and when Morales arrived at her table, the wife said: “Oh, I thought you were gonna say your name is Dan. You sure surprised us!… “
Whoops, hit the wrong key! Anyway, these stories are ALWAYS Fabricated.
These stories are fake because real people don’t act like this. Real people who care about someone’s speculated sexual orientation wouldn’t take the time to write a scathing comment on a check, they’d most likely just go somewhere else.
These stories are fake for the same reason that the emails from mysterious Nigerian princes or from “Staff Searjant Joe Smith, An American Soldier serving in Afghanistan” and promising you riches if you just provide your bank account number, are always fake: Because they’re too good to be true. They’re too “spot on.”
Back in the pre-internet days, before something became news it had to go through at least a rudimentary vetting process whereby some crusty old news editor would look at a story and say “this smells like bullshit.” But in the days when anybody can become their own publisher, there is nothing to stop people from posting obvious bullshit like this.
It is, however, a testament to the declining standards of journalism that those who repeat the story on supposedly professional news wires don’t apply a simple “common sense filter” before they repeat this crap.
@14, On the article right below the Facebook comments it says who it was posted by.
You know what really pisses me off…
I waited tables and was a dealer in a casino for years and when someone stiffed me on a tip I didn’t go whining about it, they were a cheap bastard. People will come up with any number of reasons to not tip you. I had a guy tell me once that he didn’t tip guys, I have had people pick fights with me, I have had people accuse me of being gay, who fucking cares? It is life. This bullshit trend of shitty servers putting up pic of their blank or checks with snarky remarks on them is idiotic. What if they were a shitty server? For all we know this Idiot did it for attention and shit blew out of proportion, and that is giving her the benefit of the doubt. Fuck remember that stupid PFC we all knew…well here she is.
#14 Sparks, my name is under the Google ads that you should be clicking.
They post these fake tickets for the same reason Pavlov’s dogs salivated…they’ve learned that if they do, there’s a treat coming. In their cases – money. From people who may not be as greedy but are nevertheless just as screwed up as they are.
@20 ans @22 Thank you. I just saw it!
Unless I miss my guess, this was more than deliberate.
By that I mean, the waitress said it is not her writing on the receipt, so either she is lying again or had help.
As the customers have the copy of the receipt and would have given the original with the amounts and signature to the restaurant, who ever did this would have had to reprint a receipt and fake the note and the zero tip.
The last I heard the restaurant was still investigating, but I would not be surprised to see Dayna joining the ranks of the unemployed.
I for one, will not be upset when that happens.
(Also, because of the publicity, look for the Ne York legislature to pass new laws and regulations on the handling of receipts.)
@17 NavCWORet,
I was thinking that scenario as well but I was unable to state it as eloquently as you wrote it.
There’s been an ‘epidemic’ of sorts lately with restaurant servers shaming customers, by posting pictures of receipts with supposed zero tips as well as mean spirited messages.
Not long ago some waitress alleged that a couple not only stiffed her, but wrote the “N” word on the receipt. She received over 10,000 dollars from an online fund raiser, which she promptly used to buy a car. Then came word that the couple denied writing such a thing on the receipt and handwriting analysis seemed to back them up.
I knew then it was only time before these copy cat cases started showing up to milk public sympathy and get paid for it.
bet this will be the last “public shaming” for a while… or not.
Greed and playing on peoples beliefs that by and large we are a hate filled soceity.
Shouldn’t the cops be investigating? Isn’t collecting donations under false pretenses a crime? Shouldn’t she have to return all that money?
Morales has now pulled this, bringing negative publicity to her employer as well, and I’ll bet she’s a shitty waitress to boot. No matter what, when she gets fired at last, it’ll be only because she’s gay, and it’s everyone else’s fault! That shit goes on in too many places these days!!
Bro only 3 gigs? hahahaha.
@28: I see this as another sad manifestation of the victim-as-a-hero trend (a “nation of victims”) that seems to have permeated our society.
It’s depressing to think that there are so many people out there whose highest aspiration, apparently, is to be seen as a victim, an object of pity – and of course, a justification to sling some righteous hate of their own at the cardboard-cutout caricature of the victimizers.
Interesting the Wounded Warrior Project is mentioned. They are currently suing a disabled retired Army NCO for bitching about them. I did some research and found the pay for their top ten executives is high. Their IRS Form 990 says WWP has $72 million in the bank, $14 million cash on hand, banked $52 million profit last year, but spends money to provide “stress relief” for nurses and doctors in Germany. Maybe the NCO was over the top in bitching about WWP not helping out wounded warriors directly with small unimportant things like keeping their electricity turned on, or food on the table, but going after him was wrong. Here is WWP executive compensation totaled from their 2012 IRS Form 990,
Steven Nardizzi, Executive Director, $333,379
Albion Giordano, Deputy Executive Director, $303,373
Jeremy Chwat, Chief Program Officer, $212,233
Adam Silva, Chief Development Officer, $201,854
Ronald W. Burgess, CFO $186,750
Christine Hill, Congressional Affairs $174,030
Ralph J Ibson National Policy Director $166,262
John Roberts, Mental Health $162,950
John T Hamre, Direct Response $160,445
Bruce Nitsche, Special Projects $159,904
Besides verifying my bank statement I knew there was a good reason to keep all my receipts…what a sack of sh1t…
One’s predilection for clams or sausage notwithstanding a lying sack is always a lying sack….if she lies about this she’ll lie about everything…
Seems to me there are a lot of broken people out there with no ability to face reality as reality, today’s business seems to be the lie and it appears business is good.
Club manager, that dude was way over the line. If you read the Court Filings he was making outright lies about WWP and soliciting for tax deductible donations to his “charity” for which he had no 501C paperwork at all.
Just over 80% of all of WWP’s contributions went to directly aiding Veterans and their Families in accordance with their mission statement last year. Independently verified by an Independant Auditor. Less than 5% went to administrative overhead (which includes salaries). According to Charity Navigator their CEO is slightly above median pay for a CEO of a Charity their size, making half the salary of the highest paid CEO of a 501C.
They are rated one of the highest Non Profits in regards to their transparency, with all of their finnancials being posted online and independently audited.
To those of you who are scrounging around for alternative explanations that put blame other than on Tawanda Morales, read. It was she who SAID that the customers regarded her as a male. It was not based solely on the receipt, the original of which, by the way, had turned up MISSING at the restaurant. If it were only the customer’s receipt, those poor folks would be left only to hope someone would believe them, while Tawana here was raking in the cash and being bestowed with AUTOMATIC credibility. Thankfully, the credit card bill matched up with the meal AND TIP that the family had claimed all along. She is a lying sack of shit. Per-i-od.
You have a collectino of lesbian porn? I thought you liked cigars.
How many more episodes of ‘Persecution Complex Today’ are we going to see before this kind of thing, and all the ‘you’re a racist’ crap, go slinking back under their rocks?
This constant whine “i’m being picked on” is juvenile, and there is so much of it, I’m really wondering how much is real, and how much of it is manufactured stories to get attention.
Like I said, how many more of these ‘pity poor me’ stories are we going to get before the flow shuts off?
A little background from other sites on Dayna. Was a reservist, deployed to Romania. Upon return, went UA. Previously, claimed to have brain cancer, not true. If all this is true, she’s a shitbag.
@37: Don’t expect the pity tap to be shut off anytime soon.
As long as there are groups in this country that see themselves as “victims of oppression” by the evil white/homophobic/racist/republican/etc establishment, there will, sadly, be a lot of customers eager to lap up these obviously BS stories.
People who consider themselves part of the “victim class” will believe these stories not because they are believable – they’re not – but because these stories confirm the victim class’s belief in its own victim-hood.
@38: When did we have troops in Romania? :confused:
She looks like she could pass Marine Infantry training…
@40… Good question, just quoting the article.
@29: Not sure if it’s a crime. Generally speaking, “fraud” is defined as a “material misrepresentation” of the truth, that is offered with the intent of inducing another to give up something of value.
The sticking point is proving the “intent” requirement. The fact that she received donations doesn’t mean that the purpose of her lies was to receive donations. If the only “intent” she had was to draw sympathy for herself or her oppressed fellow-lesbians, then that is not something ‘of value’ that would be sufficient to justify a fraud charge.
Now, if she actively solicited donations, that’s a different story, and would be a clear case of fraud. The question then would be whether it would be worth the DA’s time and money to prosecute her.

@43. I agree that fraud–crimninal or civil–looks to be remote here but we don’t have the entire story. Someone may turn up to support the ‘intent’ element but, if not, the family can sue the shit out of her for slander.
It sounds worthy of prosecution to me, but I bet a bottle of Bourbon that the moment they start, there will be a frenzy of screeching about “institutional homophobia” and shit like that from her and her ilk!
We know she lied. Anyone with experience with fellow human beings knows she lied. The question now is to why her employer is supporting her by failing to release the actual transaction information (per NBC).
I can give you a reason, kind of long winded (and I won’t repeat it here- you can see the legalese of it on my blog if you like), but it comes down to a bare minimum of $150k worth of liability on the part of her employer.
All I know is that the USMC dodged one hell of a bullet when this girl got separated.
@12
It’s not just the writing… I’m no expert, but it looks like the note on the receipt wasn’t even written by the same pen as the signature. I think the recent “racist” receipt was similar.
@39 Well said and thank you. We have far too many individuals and groups in this country who see themselves as “victims of oppression” because __________ you fill in the blank. Many of these people and groups are well off financially and stand at the ready to suck up stories like this woman’s lie and give money to their fellow oppressed person. On the other end of the spectrum are those who are standing in line waiting for their hand out from the taxpayer because they are oppressed by…whomever fits their mindset of the oppressor. We who are taxpaying, middle class, conservatives are according to these groups, impossible to be oppressed. Because we have and control everything in their mind. It goes to the old and incorrect assumption for instance, that if you are white you cannot be oppressed or a victim of racism. Because whites are by definition the racists in their mind. Little off subject I know but it is part of this bigger picture in our nation to me. IMHO
@37 The pity poor me will never end now, we have a generation of children who are being taught that losing is the same as winning and that 0-14 records can achieve the same trophy as 14-0 teams in the local sports programs…you get a “participation” award now, the fact you were there whether or not you suck because you don’t practice or work hard is no longer a factor as there’s nothing special for actual achievement.
Our special snowflakes are too precious to have their childish egos experience the mental devastation that comes with knowing your athletic ability sucks because you are a 20 lbs overweight lazy little couch potato turd and your fat 4ss mommy and daddy can’t get their fat 4sses of the sofa to watch you outside doing anything physical….
The kicker for me is the lawsuit filed against Nintendo for the child injured while playing Wii Golf, not actual golf but standing with a 6″ plastic remote swinging his arms….
When I was a kid we got a slip and slide, we put it on the hill next to our house and placed a 20×20 tarp at the end which we staked down to the ground as a run-out area…we would dive off the hill onto a water covered piece of 15 mil plastic directly on the rocky hillside and take the bruises and scrapes that such a stupid activity inevitably induces as all part of the fun….I suspect the manufacturers of such a toy today that encourages kids to dive onto the ground would be sued out of existence pretty quickly….but who knows?
Sorry for the rant, but geez we are becoming a nation of hose bags…
