what has the waitress done to keep her job? so if i'm stepping out on my girl, is she going to post that on her facebook page too? if i meeting with a prospective employer and considering leaving my job, will she put that on twitter? not sure what the US gov't has to do with it. no one is saying to prosecute her. but if i own the joint i don't employ people that embarrass my customers I get your point, however there is a line to be drawn. Granted, the business I am in is much different than food service, but still, I don't want a customer who intentionally causes anguish to my staff members either. Anguish? Please. I run a business, without my clients/customers I couldn't pay for my home and my bills. The waitress signed on to deal with good tippers and bad tippers when she took the job. I worked in the service industry while I was in University and no, it isn't easy but have a little perspective FFS! Do your job badly - you get fired, represent the company badly you get fired. End of. ETA: It is TOTALLY up to the pastor whether they want to tip or not. Perhaps the waitress had a bad attitude. Three sides to every story.

End of. I wasn't talking about the lack of tipping. I was talking about the ****ty note written on there. Getting stiffed is nothing new to most people. Getting a written lecture based on God could piss some people off.

I'm sure it's been posted on here already, but we have a completely different mentality in England. The only time I tip anyone is if I have been given exceptional service. Employers offering such low wages that tips are expected is a ridiculous way of operating a business. If I call a plumber out and get something repaired, I'm not going to give him a tip, just his rate and materials for doing his job. Why would I tip someone at a restaurant for doing their job satisfactorily?
It was in poor taste on both ends. As a Christian, the pastor's actions disgust and repulse me (wish I could come up with a stronger word). BUT it was probably in poor taste to post it online to a PUBLIC site-- it's not even like it was the waitress' private Facebook page, it was a public site...NOT the best idea. But, wow...not tipping? Who cares what you drop in the offering basket?

It's a disgrace is what it is, what they pay waitresses in the US is ridiculous and it's legal, it's endorsed by your government. We have a much better system when it comes to that. Sort it out, it'll make threads like this defunct and we won't have to read through 18 pages of this stuff.

Lol There should be a minimum wage based on national average cost to live a satisfactory lifestyle regardless of tips. All the tip based system does is leave people working their arsed off for little to no guarantee of even making it through the week, and fosters little to no reason for staff to go that extra mile and make something of themseleves in a service industry environment. I wonder what the turn over rate is for waiting staff in the US?
