Christians Are Horrible Tippers And This Pastor Is Doing Something About It
A tip is the result of muzzling not the ox that trod out our grain.
I don’t know what it is with people who don’t like to tip or tip far less than the industry standard of 20%. If one gets louzy service there is room for a lesser tip but never nothing. It’s a poor testimony and just plain mean. If you don’t like to tip then don’t go out to eat where you get served. Otherwise plan it into your available spending for eating out.

Hmm. Perhaps Sundays should be a special exception for those Christians who feel others should work for them "gratuitously," for example, go the extra mile and tip much more generously than usual, or turn the other cheek and tip even those whose service seems like a slap in the face.
yeah, I used to wait tables back in the day and this is true - people coming in after church were really poor tippers. One place I worked put a 15% gratuity on parties over five and they'd complain about that, too. Once, one of my co-workers received a fake bill that looked like real money but it was an advertisement for a church.
I don't think you should eat out on Sunday. Kinda hypocritical to make people work on Sunday. Actually, not kinda but VERY hypocritical!
Tipping is a bunch of crap. Price your service at a point that you pay your employees. The price posted should be the price expected.
It is the day we choose to observe as the day of rest. If you go to church on Sunday, you should not cause others to work on that day. Sat, Friday, whatever day you choose to observe.until you realize Sunday is the first day of the week, not the last/Sabbath.
So Sunday church goers abstaining from eating out will inhibit the need for others to work on that day?
???
I'm not seeking to be argumentative ... despite the appearance. I simply offer that the decision to "eat out" on Sunday is no more an issue than anything else we might have once thought to be "lawful" or otherwise.
All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. right?
... and regardless of which day, the issue of showing gratitude is the overarching point regardless of the day's designation ... for the days are evil. In everything giving thanks rejoicing always.
But, that's not the way the restaurant industry has historically worked. When that starts to happen, I'll go along with it.
In Germany - there is no tipping - other than to round up to the Euro.

Do you believe it's fine to do non-,essential work on Sunday?
If you do, so be it. If you don't, then how can you contribute to causing others to work?
All the more reason not to tip. Giving someone a tip is calling them a slave.
by not tipping in the USA - you are treating them like a slave. That is our system.
my sense of the same specific day every week being "set aside" was torpedoed a long time ago. The only time I had an 8-5 job was right out of college awaiting USAF pilot training.
I'm not seeking to sully anyone's sense of A or The Sabbath ... but I was released from the "every Sunday" long ago.
Cheers.
