A Colorado waitress utilized social media to impart a lesson about working in America. Taylar Cordova snapped a picture of the receipt and shared it on Facebook after receiving a $0 tip on a $187.43 charge, according to Mic. An eloquent and passionate comment on working as a waiter came after her article.

Cordova’s essay closes with some words of wisdom. “Don’t even bother walking into a restaurant if you can’t afford to tip,” she said. “There’s a McDonald’s right down the street if you’re that cheap.”

Her statement certainly struck a chord with the public, as it was shared over 15,000 times on social media.
