The Rude Sunday Sunday Crowd At Restaurants

[Herald]

I do not agree with your sweeping accusation or your proclamation that if a person cannot tip do not go out to eat.

Judith, you do have choices that do not require a tip. McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, the buffet line at Wegmans etc.

Your forgetting Arbys (check for coupons in the Sunday Paper) & Wendies......Then there is always a nice grilled cheese @ home.

No tip at Arbys?

Judith, it's a free country, eat wherever you want too.

Sure Judith, allow the entitlement of living in a 'free country' to over-ride Biblical sense and Christian responsibility.

I can only speak for myself. If I could not afford to give a tip I would not eat at a restaurant where the servers make their living off of tips. IMHO it is beyond rude.

Second to that "notion".

IMO, your whole attitude wreaks of me first, myself and I, with a touch or arrogance. Yes being a waitress or waiter is hard work. Putting up with the public is hard work. Your father's occupation does not change that fact.

what's my father got to do with this ? my father's been dead for 40 years. lol.
what, you miffed so much that somebody has the guts to defend other Christians from other Christians who like to join Christian bashers that you can't get your comprehension right ?

Admittedly, this is why I have stayed out of the public service professions. If that guy in the clip (it is not a skit) talked to me that way, we would have been wearing that cup of tea, and the wife would have the salad as part of her hair style.

Oh, you woulda bashed his head in, maybe used him to sweep the floor of the entire restaurant ? and you're accusing me of being full of me just because I refuse to join your "holier-than-thou" attitude towards a brother in Christ ?
Did I even ever say that they didn't do anything wrong ?
I didn't say they didn't do anything wrong. What I said was nobody knows the entire story. Do you know why those folks were crappy ? Do you know who they were ? Do you know ANYTHING about them other than what they were being portrayed to you ? So as far as you are concerned, they DESERVED being made to wait, or to be late for wherever they're going, or for the lady to have whatever it was that was spilled on her ?

The reason I know you are full of bull is I have experienced the same scenario many times at the table next to me.

And were they always Christians every time ? Do you know they were ? so now who's full of bull.

I also know for a fact waitresses argue about who has to work Sunday afternoon.

Liar. You don't know that for a fact. You HEARD about it. And even if they did, was the argument always and mainly on account of they do not want to wait at the tables because it's Sunday and the Christians are coming ?

You need an attitude adjustment. Did God elect some of his children to act like jackasses?

Nothing wrong with my attitude. I will take the side of my brethren against any member of the Christian bashing public, and against any Christian who likes to bash other Christians.

By the way, did you notice how the sounds of everybody and everything else in that restaurant did not seem to carry to that very sensitive microphone but those of the bad mannered Christian couple did ? and isn't it curious that the lady complained of having waited too long for somebody to serve them immediately after being seated, and how the manager appeared quickly on the scene? To me that smells of editing.
And why are surveillance tapes of a restaurant in the possession of whoever posted this video ? surveillance tapes that do not have date and time stamps on them ? and why did the scene switch from the family and the manager getting chummy-chummy to a stock room to show the "maltreated" waitress muttering "hypocrite" under her breath ?

In my estimation, this wasn't a real surveillance tape, and I've been doubtful from early on that this actually happened. You all were quick to attack Christians because you probably hear nothing but sermons on how AWFUL Christians are, and it goes against your grain to even think that Christians can actually be kind to those who wait on tables, or that life and events in this fallen world can actually affect their manners and relationships to those around them.
It might seem far fetched but I think that if this was even an actual surveillance tape in a real restaurant it had been edited to highlight how Christians are inconsiderate, and deserve to be unattended in restaurants.
And you were quick to gleefully jump on the bandwagon.
No, you are the one who need an attitude adjustment because you're the one so full of your "Christian and compassionate" self.

With enough horsey sauce & horse radish, you could choke down anything!

Thanks for your post...now I cant eat there & I have a coupon. :tear:

Yes Judith if you eat you had better leave a big tip as I was talking to a ex waitress one time about this tip thing and she said they got wise to who the small or no tippers were and the next time they came to eat they would spit in their food before they served it to them.

 

[Judith]

I do. Why should someone serve you for 2.00 an hour when you know they depend upon tips?

If you can't afford to give a tip, save even more money and eat something cheap at home.

Stop excusing your behavior as though not being able to afford the tip part is a legitimate excuse. Go home and eat instead.

Like I said I disagree. Any tipping I give is because of service, or lack there of and no tip, not because I feel sorry for them or obligated to make up what the employer is lacking in.
Also I do not agree that the Church crowd is rude. While it may happen on some individual bases it is not hw the OP presented it as being common place.

 

[Judith]

You are wrong. No place requires a tip uness they automatically take it out with the bill and I do not frequent those places.

 

[Judith]

Personally, I think that the OP is based on a caricature of church members more than on reality. As a former missionary I was able to observe the tipping patterns of many church groups and pastors and never saw one stiff a server. Most tip generously, as we do whenever we go out to eat. We were pretty well-known in our former locale of ministry and the servers would hurry to seat and serve us because they knew that we tip well.

Here is an interesting and, I think, balanced article on the issue of whether tipping is voluntary or mandatory:

It's a risk we take when we eat food we did not cook ourselves no matter how "classy" the restaurant looks or what they say about themselves. There will always be the loose bolt nutheads who do things just because they feel like doing them, not necessarily because a customer is a bad tipper.
On the other hand, the number of decent servers, I think, are more than the indecent ones, and they act as deterrent to actions like the one you described.

Now you're dodging your intent to purposely go out to eat knowing that you cannot tip yet eating out anyhow. I'd say you're the type that looks for any reason to not tip. That's a bad witness on your part.

If you can't afford to tip then you can't afford to eat out either. Go home and eat instead where you can afford it and where you can't be a bad witness to others. :wavey:

This thread is stagnated in self righteous pride that surfaces to many times on this board. It reminds me of the Pharisee that thanked God he was not like other men. A Pharisee will pick out a so called sin in someone else and condemn that person to hell. Never mind what the Pharisee is guilty of.

Do everyone a favor and eat at home.

This post is pure bull. The Pharisees are the folks in the clip holding hands and praying to the Lord. That is what reminds me of the story you cited above. You need to reexamine your idea of a Christ like life vs a Pharisee life.

And good enough for them.
