OMG on both of them (the server and the 'tippers').
A server who has a mortgage has a huge advantage on all the servers who struggle to pay the (too damn high) rent. She and her manager should be grateful that she can own a house.
Maybe it's her second or even third job for all you know.
That's not the case at all. The restaurant didn't post anything, the kid griped about it on his Facebook. The articles all state there IS a large church group in the area that leaves these pamphlets, however the pastor said they normally leave a tip as well as a pamphlet, not a trick tip.
If they really want people to join the church and not just use it as an excuse to stiff the server, they'd leave a bigger tip, not a smaller one or none. Who's going to join a group when you've just been baited and tricked like that?
I think the majority of members may do it sincerely, but this guy was just cheap.

I am grateful that I can own a house -- especially so given that my mortgage payments, strata fees, and electricity/Internet bills come to about $642, and I'm on an $880 disability payment. Tack on $150 for groceries (which I only buy every couple of months), and my expenses come to $792.
If I scrimp, and save, I might end the month with an extra hundred bucks.
Imagine what someone earning minimum wage (which, in many states, averages about $260 a month) has to deal with to make ends meet.
Twenty dollars is a make-or-break deal for minimum-wage earners. Personally, I think that the 'fake tip' thing is really a d**k move.
This was fundamentally dishonest. Intentional duplicity. And whoever created the note knows it, because they pretend to be teaching a lesson about 'not being fooled'. But that's just an intended cover for their slimy way of conning someone into being an audience. They know that once their con is exposed, they first have to spin it as a 'lesson' in order to have any chance of the propaganda having an impact.
See?
The message might have a point - at least to the extent that money isn't everything - if it was aimed at some multimillionaire who doesn't have to work 60 hours a week, but does just to keep making more and more money at the neglect of, for example, his family. But some nobody serving tables in a two-bit burger joint? Sorry, no one does that job because they're greedy. They do it just to pay for the basic necessities of life.
