So do white congregations....it doesn't matter the race- cads are cads.

I have 2 friends who make their living in the service industry. One is a waiter, the other a hair dresser. They both are HUGE tippers.

She was basically complaining about anything over 10%.

I realize that tips are supposed to reflect the level of service, but when someone who is obviously Christian is at the table, it's important to remember that we are reflecting Christ. (or not) I can't STAND to eat with people who are rude to their waiters/waitresses and who are bad tippers. I don't care if the waitress doesn't keep the water glass filled; be patient and be kind. Ask for more water--nicely.

The snide remark was stupid and rude.

The problem wasn't that she was protesting any additional tip...if you look at the receipt, she crossed out the automatic 18%. She didn't want to give ANY tip.

Before I got married, my wife worked as a waitress and HATED when church groups came in. Didn't matter the denomination...they all were cheap and didn't leave tips.

This Pastor says she embarrassed her church...well, yah. And by not just leaving well enough alone and demanding the whole staff be fired, she made a bad situation worse. She shouldn't be a Pastor with that attitude. Although, with the way many Pastors are today, she's perfect for the position. I'm surprised she didn't have someone else pay for her meal or try to have it written off.

Let's not bring race or religion into it. It's a despicable act. That's basically it.

She brought religion into it when she wrote the note.

Oh, I know. A few of them are inlaws.

The other group who are notorious bad tippers are the older retired people living around us. They are the ones who will spend 15-20 bucks for a meal for two and leave a buck tip.

Had an aunt like that, except a buck would be way too much! Always embarrassed my uncle. (And my folks when they ate together. My dad always sneaked back in to leave a real tip!

My father in law, although getting slightly better, is like that. He ALWAYS picks up any restaurant check and will get angry if you try to pay the bill. So we will often go out and the total check will come to 50-80 bucks (for 4 or 5) and he will leave a two dollar tip -and will get angry if you try to throw a few more dollars on the table since he considers the tip part of the total bill (which he of course is paying).

He is also the one who insists on praying long and loud while holding hands whenever we would go out to eat. I put a stop to the holding hands part which didn't go over well but I really had to put my foot down on that one.

This is the whole point of the conversation. She made the point that she is a pastor by writing the word "Pastor" on the receipt, and then she mentioned tithing.
