UPDATE To This Story:  (Via LoHudValley) […]  Morales has been caught in multiple lies, telling co-workers she shaved her head because she had brain cancer and later telling them it was her friend who had brain cancer, her colleagues and friends said.
They said she also  told co-workers at a day care center where she once worked that Superstorm Sandy severely damaged her home in  Stony Point, and sent a boat into her living room. Concerned co-workers dropped by her home and found only minor damage to the carpet by her front door and no sign of a boat, they said.
“Every story she comes up with has a lie,” said Julie Howat, 23, of Pomona.

Morales could not be reached for comment.

NBC 4 New York on Monday reported that the family at the Gallop Asian Bistro, who asked to remain anonymous, produced their copy of the receipt and credit card statement showing the family of four left an $18 tip on a $93.55 bill. Their copy of the receipt also showed no note.

After a long scathing article which outlines many previous lies, frauds, and manipulations she told to friends and family, a troubling picture of Dayna Morales emerges.    The article concludes with these paragraphs.

[…]  When confronted by a News 4 reporter about  the receipt, Morales reportedly said, “It’s not my handwriting. I don’t know.”

Restaurant manager Byron Lapola on Tuesday told the Courier News that the eatery, which opened three months ago, would not comment until they finish their investigation. Lapola said Morales was “currently not on the schedule” to work.

Meanwhile, the social media users that slammed the anonymous family in thousands of Facebook and online comments have turned on Morales as well as the restaurant, calling for a boycott of the eatery.

Days after the story first was reported, Lapola told the Courier News he was not working the evening of the incident. But Lapola stood by his waitress and said he instructed his staff to discount an entree from the family’s check and to credit the difference as a tip.   (continue reading)
