I used to work as a wait person in a leper colony once. In spite of their terrible afflictions these people were very gracious and always let me keep the tip.
I really hate “christians” like that chick. She, Fred Phelps, and other uncharitable assholes like them shouldn’t be able to be called Christians. They do everything opposite of what Jesus said. I have a republican friend whose New year’s resolution was to tip less. I can’t help but think that is her way of standing ont eh side of those asshole business owners like “papa” john who threatened their workers because GOD FORBID they may have to treat them like human beings and give them the healthcare they deserve. Pathetic,greedy scum.
Well, I’m a conservative and I’ve been making an effort to tip closer to %20 when I eat out (unless the service is actually bad), so political persuasion likely has nothing to do with generosity.
Wow, fine-dining atheist, your day could be blessed by something other than a deity – it could be figuratively blessed – no one is shoving religion anywhere near you. I hope you’re blessed with a safe way to release your seething rage very soon.
I’m totally on the side of the waitress that posted the first one – the ‘pastor’ clearly needed a public shaming. And I’m incredibly pissed at Applebee’s for what I feel is a wrongful termination. Even though I love their little wonton tacos, I probably won’t give them any of my business in the future because of the way they handled this.
HOWEVER: I do think the server who posted it should have cropped out the merchant id and blurred out everything but the word pastor on the signature before she let reddit get hold of it. It still would have gotten the message out there, people would have still been just as outraged and the pastor would certainly still have gotten wind of it and felt the public’s scorn directed at her actions. But she would then have to out herself if she wanted to make a fuss about it, and the server would likely still have her job.
Just my .02
True, sometimes we don’t realize just how much or how little identifying information can be damning. The waitress realized it after the fact, which was too late in this case.
Were I that waitperson, I’d have found that Pastor’s church and waited patiently for the donations plate to make its rounds…
Clearly UpperCrust Atheist hasn’t tired of shoving $150 dinners down his throat.
January 2013 will henceforth be known as the start of the holy war between foodies and servers.

She tried getting everyone fired, and her waitress actually was.

Ordered the ultimate trio. It’s delicious, and a bargain to boot.
I went for the Bloomin’ Onion, myself.
Wonton tacos. ;)
Tip better, for one.
“God told me to spit in your food.”

There’s a reason I tag posts like this “Christianity in name only.”

The second one goes to show that no matter what your belief system, you can still be an asshole.

On #2:
Who eats a $150 dollar meal, and further more seeing as there’s a $50 KIDS MEAL on there, who has a kid out 11pm to eat dinner?

Wait…Applebee’s really has wonton tacos?
Yes and they’re delicious. Fortunately I found a copy cat recipe and now make my own. ;)
