I give God 10%, why do you get 18?' - pastor's message to waitress goes viral | |
IAMIAM User ID: 18016289 United States 02/02/2013 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The poor woman served 8+ people and this self-entitled "god-man" is telling her to fuck off while envoking the name of God over $6.29!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33444550 Just, wow..... Jesus never told a waitress "Freely you have received; freely give." This is what Jesus told his followers, however. Conclusion: Pastor is no follower of Jesus. Waitress may or may not be. Michael Well Jesus also told his Disciples, the servant will be the Master. And, What you have done to the least of these, you have done to me. |

A tip is a percentage of your total bill of one purchase. How retarded is the pastor to not understand this obvious fundamental difference between the two situations? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12421280 No, you missed the fundamental question! Since "God" is greater than everyone, created the Earth and the Heavens, Etc; and He only gets a tenth(tithe), then What makes you,(the waitress) so Great that you to demand so much more? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24392638 United States 02/02/2013 03:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The whole issue is ridiculous anyway as "tithing" is NOT a New Testament requirement. It is strictly OT law for the Jews under the law. Quoting: volvo544 Christians under grace give not of necessity (the Jews did). ALL of the supposed verses used to enforce tithing are either OT applications or verses applied before the cross. As we (Christians only) are commanded to "rightly divide the word of truth" we know that the only way to arrive at tithing for the NT saint is to "WRONGLY divide the word of truth". Giving under grace is is based on as "the Lord has prospered you, so give". It is never, ever based on 10%. It is also wise to note the Jews were not commanded to give MONEY, but rather food or grain. What use does God have for money? The tithing goes to pay the church. It has nothing to do with God, although the church would like you to believe it does since they're in the business of selling God to the public. |

IF the service was excellent, then Tip well, but usually it is very poor service, doing only the bare minimum to supply food and drink. Usually you are lucky if they refill your glass, or even bother to ask how you are doing! Then expect a "great" Tip! |

Water Flower User ID: 33068532 United States 02/02/2013 03:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | waiters/waitresses generally make less money per hour than minimum wage, therefore they rely on their tips. i'm sure the more expensive restaurants have people who get paid and tipped better. some pastors live completely from the donations of the members of their congregation. others have to work and preach as a secondary job in order to live. we all have seen priests/pastors living better off than some members of their own congregation - nice cars, homes, etc. - while others don't. this pastor and group of 8 knew that they will be automatically charged 18% for a party of 5/6 or greater. otoh, i'm sure that the waitress would have to give 10% of her gross income to be a member of that pastor's church. on this earth, nothing is free - except the love and care the Creator gives to all. |

With humility she takes your order and fulfills your needs. She and many like her, are what most would consider the bottom of society. I consider them the top. I also consider them the top. I waitressed as a student as did my daughters. We worked hard, were always pleasant, and did our best. BTW, the waitresses at my local Outback are excellent. Some of the best servers I've seen.

I see now the pastor is trying to backtrack and say that she left the tip in cash. Unlikely she herself did. But I suppose someone else in her party very well could have. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 5213553 United States 02/02/2013 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't agree with the mandatory tipping either, simply on principle. But I've also never been a waitress, having to rely on tips. It would be a big problem if people were able to take up a large table for a long time and then not leave the server a tip. I've always wondered about the busboys - do they share in the servers tips or do they just get a flat and higher amount per hour? |

She was upstaged by this event. Anyone who has had to work for tips can confirm that 'church' groups are notoriously lousy tippers. As an airport taxi driver, I get NO hourly wage. I, too, blame the corporations for this problem, but don't punish the workers. That "pastor" wouldn't last a week in a REAL job. Water is the only drink for a wise man.
