Pastor...of 15
I never post at night. But I'm livid!
Ok a quick view. I am a born again Christian. I am a Democrat. Ironic? A leftist Christian. Plain fact is, I don't believe the government has a right to own anyone's beliefs or morals. I dont believe anyone does. That said...the 'Pastor' who didn't leave a tip but said she gave ten percent to God?
Congregation of fifteen? And to be that stuck on how much you are giving? Please...'the widows mite' she had almost nothing but she gave all she had. That $5.00 15%tip minimum (the extra three will kill ya, took that long for the waitress to print all those receipts and make sure everyone got the right one)......probably tells God well oh Lord I'd give You my ten percent but I have to go out to dinner and split the check 15 ways tonight.
On the good side, that woman ain't ever eating in public again.

If you can't give a tip...eat at McDonald's off the dollar menu. Steal the food out of this woman's mouth...

I am not sure which verse it is, but the bible says to give, give happily. This is not just to the church but to everything. So if this really was a pastor, he/she needs to consult the bible again.
Yes to teko! Yes!
If now I could only get my son to pick his clothes up from all over the house! ;)
We, at least I find comfort knowing he tips 20 percent for decent service. Yes, I'm putting off getting up to pick up all his stinky socks all over the place. It's Saturday. I have my iPad back. Procrastination sounds good to me. One more cup of coffee and I'll leave myself a good tip. :)

I think there are a lot of cheapskates --- Christian, not Christian alike.
Plain old misbehaving and acting badly under the guise of religion makes it even uglier .

Sounds like you did a good job raising your kids. I hope mine learn some of the lessons yours have. Recently I was given hope that they'll not be heathens when adults. We went to the movies-- my two sons, myself and two of their friends. Those of you who have been through it know about the transition period of when kids go into the men's room in a public place on their own. I'm sure many at these places think I'm some kind of perv as I hover outside the door almost with one foot going into the men's room. It's a leap of faith once they leave my sight and enter this place that is supposed to be off limits to me. Anyway, I'm listening and can hear something that doesn't sound good. Just as I was about to call into them, I hear my oldest son say "Now stop that. You have to clean that up because do you know that someone's job is to clean this bathroom. And YOU JUST MADE WORK FOR THEM. So, clean it up." I'm pretty sure that came from me at one point . . . but it gives me hope for the future that my son's will always understand that someone is 'working' and we want to not contribute to their having a bad day or in the case of this pastor, ripping them off.
Thank you! You are not too from me really. I had an old boyfriend from way up there. I'm really from NY (even though I now live in CT for my job). It's...different! But I still walk to work, old habits die hard ;)
People offer me rides I'm like no I do have a car...

I am so sorry to hear about your husband.
When my kids were very little (my husband was a junkie bum before he killed himself -that is honest as I can get) I waited tables when I left him. Sometimes triple shifts. My mother would come in and pick up my legs after three days. I'm not complaining. I have a great job now (they're in their 20s now but I spent time with them then only working three days a week).
I have always found in all of those years -parents either let their kids throw food at servers and ignore you...or they apologize profusely and then attempt to clean it up and tip you well.
And it's not a rich versus poor thing, it's an at home thing.
My son (who had a total *** as a dad) will be on the train when it's full and get up and give his seat to a lady. He ALWAYS holds the door.I don't think I taught him that.
People who know me think I only complain bout my son and daughter.
Human nature,it is what it is.
But a *****...is just a *****. And karna really is.

Lots of restaurants add a fixed percentage tip for large parties. Its understandable. Large parties demand a lot of the server's time. And since large parties frequently pay and tip individually the server can put a lot of time into a table and get a very small tip. I worked my way through school waiting on tables and dreaded getting big groups because of this. Mostly when the restaurant has this policy it is posted in the menu. So the pastor knew when she ordered what the deal was going to be. If she got bad service then of course she should question the amount of the tip, but I don't think that's the case here.
If she gives 10% of her income to God, (or rather to her church, well she is the pastor so it sounds like she is actually giving it to herself in a way) well, that's between her and God.
As for putting this on facebook, that was not a good idea.

People need to quit hiding behind their religion and take accountability for their own actions, all of the time.
On the other hand, the waitress should have kept her mouth shut about the experience or at least kept it in house.

I have a couple of thoughts. I don't think being Christian or a pastor gives one the free pass on being obnoxious. I think referencing that on a receipt and placing the 0 would make a few up above look away in shame.
Had she just questioned the 18%, that is one thing. We as consumers are allowed to question something with the expectation that we then do the right thing. But that writing in the 0 part and using religion in that way isn't cool.

And I also think Facebook has become a dangerous weapon. I'm not a fan of Facebook. The waitress being fired---- well, using facebook in that way is a double edged sword. How did this pastor find her facebook page and that she posted it though?
