One bartender at a Mexican restaurant in West Texas was left fuming after allegedly finding a “tip” — sans gratuity — on a recent bill, as a customer reportedly wrote. “My tip is to build the f---ing wall now!” on the bottom of a receipt.
On Feb. 17, Hehsus Baeza, a staffer at Tkilaz Mexican Restaurant Bar and Grill in Midland, found the message on a $17.55 bill from a patron who apparently dined solo, Newsweek reports.

Upset by the note, Baeza took to his personal Facebook page to share an image of the receipt.
“How are you going to come eat a plate of asado and drink a dosxx and write this! #hypocrite,” the bartender wrote on the social platform, in a post that has since been liked over 400 times and sparked just about as many comments.
