Earlier today, I posted a link to an epic rant written by Stefanie Williams who was responding to a note that someone wrote on their credit card receipt; a receipt that did not have a tip on it, by the way. She posted it on Medium, but they had her revise it since they were not too keen on exposing the man’s full name. (Here is the revised version that is on Medium now.) Since this is my blog and I don’t work for Medium and don’t have a boss telling me what to do, I decided to post the original unedited version with his name. Yeah, I’m a bitch. So what?
And here it is:
Dear Jonathan Ramaci,
You don’t know me, but I know you. Because bartenders talk. Especially in a small town like Charleston. The underworld of bartending and serving in Chucktown is pretty legendary. You fuck one of us over, you fuck us all over. You talk shit to a bartender on Upper King, a bartender in Mount Pleasant knows about it.
So obviously I know about this. Obviously I know about how embarrassing of a drunk you are that you stayed at a bar for seven hours and then told the bartender she was a cunt when she refused to serve you anymore. And then you stiffed her after bragging about how “substantial” a tip you would have given her had she not cut your drunk ass off.
Here’s a substantial tip for you: this bartender wasn’t a bitch, but karma sure is!
Did you know the woman you stiffed and called a cunt and a bitch is a wife and mother? She has a baby and a husband? She is someone’s daughter who goes to work every day and deals with assholes like you? Nah, you wouldn’t know that, you were too busy telling people you invented the question mark to even consider that the bartender you were berating could be a human being. No human being would ever deny such a charming, classy, well composed drinker like yourself another round!
Dudes like you are the number one issue for servers and bartenders. Guys who don’t know when to stop drinking, don’t remember they are assholes when they’re drunk, and take out their life’s problems on the stranger who won’t give them anymore alcohol because they have no control over their own shit, despite bragging about how important they are. You aren’t important. And the probably seven dollar tip your cheap ass would have left this woman isn’t worth being verbally abused by some drunk dick. For someone who went to MIT, your vocabulary is pretty limited. Cunt? Really? That woman spent seven hours putting up with your drunk ass telling people you invented the start button for the iPhone. I think SAINT is more of an accurate term.
But congrats dude, I hope your six dollar savings and bitter rant against a mother and wife doing her job was worth it. Because now every bartender in Charleston — I mean, EVERY bartender in Charleston — knows you. Knows what you look like, what you do. They will laugh at you and point at you from behind the server station every time you sit down. They’ll mock the fuck out of your bragging ass and probably give you shitty service because they know that you’re a cheap fuck who treats their friends like shit and calls women cunts when they don’t give you what you want. So please bear that in mind every single time you walk into a bar in the low country — they all know the enormous asshole you are and it won’t be forgotten. Your actions have blacklisted you from ever having a genuine bartender or server again in this town. Their managers will be on alert when you walk in as “a guy who gets really wasted and berates the servers and doesn’t tip”. You’ll never be allowed to camp out on their barstools for seven hours again only to stiff them and think it’s okay.
I hope this is a life lesson for you. I don’t care how fucking important you think you are, you can not treat people this way. I don’t give a shit how much money you make or how expensive your car is or how fabulously smart you are. You used the word cunt against a woman simply doing her job because you were a belligerent asshole who doesn’t know when to shut it down. What adult does that? No one is impressed by you, no one is intimidated by you. So stop being a raging asshole and maybe learn a little humility and some moderation on the sweet nectar, because buddy, no tip is worth putting up with patrons like you.

On August 17, 2016 you posted an article titled, “Careful What You Write on Your Receipt, Jonathan.” I’m not sure if you have seen the news, remember the post butl if anyone was curious of an update on good ole Jonathan “Mr. Rich&Famous” Ramaci.

In your article you said, “ Here’s a substantial tip for you: this bartender wasn’t a bitch, but karma sure is!” It may have taken six years, but i think karma finally caught up to him! ha.

WOW Jonathan Ramaci is a douche
Jules
Dude was so wasted he couldn’t even write straight.
Jessie
Where can i drink for 7 hours for $39??? Please tell me?
But on another note o would of dick punched him where no cameras where.
Joel
It looks like his twitter and facebook pages have been taken down. I can only imagine how many messages he was getting. 🙂
karmayouknowwhattheysay smith
He is a real scumbag and not just because he gets drunk and insults then stiffs bartenders. It goes way beyond that. He has a child he ignored all his life, even when he had other children later. No contact and the kid is an adult now. Nothing.

Wait… how did you guys know that’s the right jonathan ramici ? Did someone confirm that’s the right one? I didn’t even see a picture on the blog.
Sharon
Perhaps it is safe to assume it is the right one because he is in that town. He is the only one by that name in that town… and because it actually IS him.
Sharon
Apparently, he is not as great at his job as he thinks he is…

How do you know this? Can you contact me?

Because I am that Child. I just discovered this lovely article today.

Want to know..Are you speaking to me?
Dana
Low country hospitality workers, have no fear! The Midlands are also well aware of this douche nozzle now. Columbia is on the lookout!!
Lindsey
Boom!
Sarah
Thank you sincerely for bringing awareness to the treatment that is all too frequent. Bravo!!!!

“Did you know the woman you stiffed and called a cunt and a bitch is a wife and mother? She has a baby and a husband?”
I’ve seen this so many times and it always bothers me. People bring up that someone is a wife and a mother to shame someone who treated her badly, do you realize you’re actually suggesting that its okay to treat women who aren’t married and have shoved children out of their vaginas with disdain.
Because its not. I’m single and I don’t have kids but that man who have been just as outrageously out of line treating me this way.
Erika
THANK YOU, CAMERON. People shouldn’t be treating women like shit not because of how they could be related to a man but because women are human fucking beings who don’t deserve to be treated like shit just for existing.
SlumSlut
Represent!
nell shannon
you are grossly missing the point.
ps. im certain you are the type of individual who makes EVERYTHING about you. spoiler alert: the earth revolves around the sun, not you.
Joel
I understand your point, but if you kept reading past what you’re crying about, you’d see that it was used as a way to humanize her. She also mentioned she’s someone’s daughter. Does that mean she’s saying it’s okay to treat orphans like shit?
Cameron Grey Rose
Thank you Joel, that’s an excellent point about using her relationship with other people to humanize her.
Yes I understand this issue isn’t about me per se but it is about how women are treated. there is literally no reason her role as a wife and mother are even relevant to the conversation so why bring them up? This man actions were abominable regardless of any waiter’s martial status or role as a parent.
Its a side issue but an important one.
Me
Actually it might mean she’s a wife and mother and a she has to hold a lot of line down. Families cost a lot of money and we’re only making it one way when we serve. That doesn’t make you less important – that just makes him look like more of an ass.

bravo cameron!
cAtlien
Exactly. Thank you.
Becky
Because if you havent pushed a baby out of your vagina,your not in the club.
Michele
What if my baby was cut out of my uterus? Does it count then? Or am I getting all butt-hurt over something small and missing the point? Guess that makes two of us then.
Sharon
I pushed one out… but it was 40 years ago. Does that mean my membership has expired??????
Joanna
I love this! People treat me so differently because I don’t have a ring or kid.
Stephanie Hanson
No he also said human being and someone’s daughter. he is in no way saying it’s ok to treat those of us that aren’t married or have kids badly
Sharon
I get where you are coming from, Cameron. The point is, it should be bad enough that he did this to anyone… Women do not deserve to be treated this way no matter if they are a mother, or a wife or not. (Maybe the person who wrote that was trying to get the fool to understand that he would no want his wife, daughter, etc.. to be treated this way? Who knows???)
But, I will take it a step further… and stand up for my brothers in customer service. too. Guys are treated like this as well as women.
The creep has been outed and rightly so. The internet will tear him to pieces.
Amanda
Yeah, that phrasing always bothers me too.
There are other ways to humanize women other than their relationships to others.
Dani
This guy sits at the bar and drinks away because he was fired from his company. He did have something to do with a product for the iPhone 4. But when the iPhone 5 came out his product was toast. Look him up. He is an ass hole.
Chelsea
It took him 7 hours to drink only 38 bucks of liquor? I’m so confused? Was he a light weight too?
Jenn
Seven hours & his tab was only 38.00???
What a p#**y!!!
Chelsea
Ha ha ha we had the exact same thought at the exact same moment ..!

This guy is a dick, but how does the KKK play into this? Why introduce racism? Why bring it up at all?
Stupid comment.
Samantha
I wish i knew where this happened bc i too am a waitress in the charleston area. It really takes a toll on servers when we have to deal with ppl like this.
Josh
Pretty sure I saw the wind jammer on iop when it was first posted on line.
Jen
Looks like Liberty Taproom & Grill at the top of the receipt
