No better way to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord than by not tipping some waitress who makes $3.00/hr.

what do you mean the 20 of us can't sit together without a reservation?

We'll just push that 4-top, 4-top, 6-top, 5-top together and make a table at this server station while blocking fire escapes.

Working at a restaurant right now, on break. Can't wait to deal with all of these lovely people!

I’m sorry. Sundays are already bad enough but Easter Sundays are so fucking brutal.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

We open at 1pm today. Not looking forward to the Easter Sunday buffet crowd...

You KNOW they are going to "tip" you with one of those gospel tracts that look like a folded $100 bill.

I worked in retail for 7 years. Every damn Sunday we would get at least one customer in their Sunday best turn into an impatient, vile, insulting human being towards us because of something in the weekly ad or whatever. I wasn't particularly religious despite attending Catholic school for every grade until high school graduation, but this solidified my loss of faith even more.

Oh, and it was a tiny bit of an influence on me becoming an alcoholic too! Yay!

Don't forget to condemn the local homeless guy for asking you to spare some change while he also happens to own a cellphone.

This church group used to come in sunday afternoons. No reservation. At least 12 people. Separate checks. They'd sit for over an hour and have a meeting with their pastor. None of them tipped or if they did they rounded up to the nearest dollar.

I Can't Believe It's Not The Onion.

I don't understand the "be shitty to food service worker" attitude.

They do realize its the people making their food, right?

You don't even have to be a nice person, just be pragmatic, act nice.

Don't die by poisoning.

Lost my wallet today at a grocery store full of church dressed people. Locked the cards,then saw two usage attempts on two different cards. Of course, maybe it wasn't one of the people who had just came from church...

It could easily be someone who goes to church. My church has a community meal and a food pantry, and a lot of people who are welcome and who come for church services are homeless or food-insecure or addicts. And honestly anything that isn't locked up walks away way too often. Jesus called for the church to serve the hurting and broken and needy so it shouldn't be a surprise. You know what though? A lot of those people are willing to volunteer time and even give a little when they can.

But the rich assholes that don't tip and treat their servers like shit, they usually don't help the church at all in any way. Maybe they throw in $20 a couple times a year to appease their conscience. Continue berating them by all means.
