I have some close friends who are the leaders of a religious singing group. They love running the waitress to death and not leaving a tip. They think it is funny. They say they don't leave tips because waitresses smoke cigarettes and sleep around.
yes, true, but, as I said, a lot of Christains are cheap, some are not...
believe me....and if this offends you, I'm sorry, but I'm stating fact....
and yanno who else are the worse tippers...women...and they are so demanding.
Unless of course they've waitressed themselves.
I read and post on CD. I am Teflon -coated and do not take stuff personally.
I am the daughter of a taxi driver ( long gone). Paying the rent depended on tips.
Stacks of quarters= life savings.
Lot's of folk are cheap and will rationalize it anyway they can.
"They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great," the server said. "They just didn't want to pay when the time came."
Waitstaff wages are significantly below minimum wage; they depend on tips to make a living. If you can't afford to tip then stay home and serve yourself.
or requested a waitress that was willing to donate their tip to god. Maybe an atheist or muslim might not want to support the same religion as the pastor.
Wow. I cannot believe how many of you are defending this piece of ****, a pastor, no less. She served $200 worth of food to 20 people, hardly an expensive restaurant, and they can't tip her a measly 2 bucks a person? Shame on all of you, who have obviously never worked as a server. I tip well because it all comes back to me, it's called Karma. I promise all of you cheapos out there earn your Karma...
Yep and now the Internet is finding its new target: Applebee's.
Hehe, it is amazing what the Internet can do with a mob mentality and leads to (unwanted) media coverage for Applebee's now.
Corporate is probably doing the meme "W.T.F" at this moment.
Can you imagine being a corporate officer and thinking today was going to be just another ho-hum and hoping that you could meet the January target $ and then this breaks....
If it isn't optional, then how come the party isn't being charged with defrauding an innkeeper?
Answer - because it is optional to leave a gratuity.
I think that the pastor acted in poor taste, and should have left something.
But the idea that he was obligated to do so is flat out wrong.
Actually, that is incorrect. The pastor attempted to subtract the charge from her credit card (you did read the articles, right?), but did not take the receipt to a manager to ask for a correction, so her card was indeed charged for the 18%. Therefore, she did not commit fraud, only a common variety of crass cheapness, clumsily justifying it with her religion.

Wonder how funny they'd think it was if they had a reputation, and their waitstaff decided to drop a little something in their food. It'd be wrong of the waitstaff to do so, but stuff like that does happen to chronic jerks. Hell, in the flooring industry, our designer had the a-hole surcharge for people with bad attitudes. There are ways of evening the score, if one is so inclined.
After the anti-liberal hysteria, the anti-government self-righteousness, I suppose racism was the only thing missing from this thread. Thanks for fixing that.
You're welcome....I beat a leftie for once!
