Who does this though?

It's been a bit of a thing in the news recently - first, Kendall Jenner was accused for not tipping her waiter - and now we have this.

Samantha Heaton, a waitress in a restaurant, was given a peculiar reason as to why she wasn't tipped for her service, after the customer caught a glimpse of her LGBT equality ink.

Taking to Twitter, Samantha posted a message saying "Just a reminder, customers/people like this REALLY exist. LOVE IS LOVE," with an image of her rainbow tattoo, and the receipt in question.

The disgruntled customer didn't provide a tip, but did leave a note saying "Can't tip someone who doesn't love Jesus! Bad tattoo", which caused some controversy after the waitress posted it on the social media site.

Since, people have rallied together to send Samantha tips of their own, but she has gone on to say that she doesn't want them, and is going to donate any tips she receives to charity.

Just so everyone knows, sam and I don't want the money from people. We posted this just to spread awareness, not to make money
