WTF? Does this mean what I think it means?

Someone just posted this on their facebook page. Does this mean what I think it means?!

"The bigger the lips, the smaller the tips, lol..'

I'm not misinterpreting this, am I? And FWIW this was posted by a business owner on a business page! I'm still am trying to pick my jaw up off the floor...

 

Re: WTF? Does this mean what I think it means?

  • I think it means that the more the person talks, the smaller the tips.

  • I'm thinking that you are thinking a sexual reference? I think it means the more the person (waiter) talks he smaller the tip? There's nothing like trying to having a night out and the waitstaff won't stfu.

  • I have no clue what that means.

  • I agree with Joe. I actually like friendly waiters/waitresses, but not the ones who are obnoxious and fake about it. You can tell when they're a nice person and when they're just trying to get an excellent tip.
  • Um, there's not much room for MISinterpretation. I can't believe that someone would make a racial slur like that, especially online.

  • Is the business a restaurant (or another business where tips are standard)?  If so, I would assume he's saying that customers who are obnoxious or complainers are the ones who tip the least.  Kind of unprofessional to complain about tips on a restaurant website, though.

    ETA:  Gah, I hope it doesn't mean what Lari said - that never occurred to me.

    Yeah, I was absolutely reading it as a racial slur. 

    The business is a small local consigment shop and I've "friended" them because she (the owner) often posts photos of new merchendise but I've noticed that she's constantly posting stupid sh!t. Today takes the cake though. Some other things on her page just from this morning: 

     "If you have to budget your grocery bill, like most of us do, and you include cigarettes...but you have kids to feed, you should be forced to eat them. The smokes or the kids, lol, you pick."

    "If you choose 200.00 sneakers before you choose to get your teeth fixed, you don't have to tell me my tax dolars paid for them...I already know"

    "Gum popping should be illegal. If you have an IQ over 40, you should know better. If you "pop gum" we know without asking that you paid for it with food stamps."

    "The slower they read, the faster they breed..."

     

     

     

     

  • Um, with your update, I'd say yeah, it's racial. Honestly, I didn't read that as racial at first, but now I can see it. WTF would you post that on your business page?
  • OMG! I would have never got what Lari did out of it.

    And FWIW, I have to share b/c it's freaking cracking me up...

    I thought you were initially appalled thinking it had to do with a stripper....and I don't mean the lips she eats food with!  LOL LOL LOL

     

    I'm not sure I even completely understand it....but in context with the other ones they have posted, I would not be going to that store anymore.  That's for sure.  Disgusting.

    Jodi, I went sexual too, except for I went the penis route.  A racial slur didn't even cross my mind!  Defriend in a hurry!

    My mind went the stripper route also. 

    I would not be giving that person any more business.  Defriend.

  • I was thinking it meant a server who talked excessively to. I would never consider it a racial slur even with the update you posted. Elitist or just plain ignorant maybe.

  • Wow, with the updates you've posted, that woman just sounds like a hateful, ignorant b1tch. I definitely wouldn't give her a dime of my business in the future.
  • I didn't take it racial at first, or, well, until Lari posted what she did. 

    I'd defriend her, tell her why, and tell her you'd no longer be supporting her business - and will be sure to spread the word.  I'd actually probably also print the screen and forward it to some community leaders/the newspaper.  I don't know what route it would take, but I just wouldn't be able to just "let it go."  People are ignorant. 

     

     

  • OMG. Went and found the page and saw her response to you. How does a business owner act like that on their business page? Please make sure you alert your friends in the area not to visit her page any more.
  • Its a service industry reference and is not sexual in nature

    I first thought vag, too.  Ick.

    Secondly I considered that he meant an overly chatty waiter.  The racial slur never crossed my mind.

  • I don't think cleo minds me sharing this. It's hilarious!

    The crap you been posting....consider me one less place to shop. lol. I promise you in a billion trillion years, I could care less.
    Now for the next metaphorical hypothesized evaluation that you have helped to prove to be true: ( it is not ...a person agenda, dumbass, i am working on my thesis) Watch the magic..
    Women who begin sentences with words like, WTF, do not have a post secondary degree, you do not have to tell me that, lol, I already know.
    Next time you sit down to write something, at least make it worth the time it took to press the keys.
    As far as posting anything on my professional site vs. personal site, that's why it's good to be the queen. I am the CEO of my life, my home, my business and i do whatever i want. I could care less if what i say offends you. Only people with an IQ of 90 or less would be offended by anything a perfect stranger says of FB. Have a nice day!

    Social experiment on a social networking site, concerning social studying of generational stigma and why and how that is perpetuated...social stigma has nothing to do with how i feel personally. Here's another one. Fat people are lazy. If I...... write that do you think that is how i feel or is that a social stigmatization? This is stat for a doctoral thesis. I will post 100 more to gather research, watching peoples responses is very interesting as well for example. People who would quote a Theology based book, like the Bible, have a slightly higher IQ then someone who only took the time to respond in a more anger based way. Very interesting....Thanks for the info, now please do something more important. During the time it took you to get angry at me, you could have fed a homeless kitten or something.

  • ??? That looks like English, but it really doesn't make much sense.

  • This woman really has a thing for IQs and how they relate to people's behavior!

    I actually think she sounds...unhinged or something. Hope she doesn't own a gun.
