It's getting to the point where leaving a bad tip will lead to an internet uproar.

Hmmm. Well, I think this jerk should be fired. Apparently he’s never read the Bible.

Or leaving an obnoxious and uncalled for message instead of a tip.

I bet this pastor is all in favor of paying the government more than 10%.

Notice the total bill is $34.93. So it’s not like the server had a table of 6 or more.

And so to add that 18 percent is pretty insulting to customers. Unless, of course it is clearly notated before hand that all meals are subject to an 18% surcharge.

But this is Applebee’s after all. Look at the poor working conditions as described in this article. I’ll eat at many substandard chain restaurants like Chili’s or whatnot. But I refuse to go to an Applebee’s.

I can’t say about anywhere else but I’ve known many folks that were waiters and waitresses in Philly and certain clientele make a career of trying to get free meals, monopolizing all the staff’s time and never tipping. There are even jokes about it.

Think twice before you become a smart ass. Think twice before you put anything on paper. And for God’s sake, keep your privates away from the cameras! Good advice for the ages.

Some time on Wednesday, Chelsea says the customer who had left the receipt contacted her Applebee’s location, demanding that everyone be fired, from the servers involved to the managers.

Not very Christian of her.

The note would only make sense if the cost of the meal was in the same ballpark as one day’s income for the pastor.

Am I to understand that Applebee’s adds 18% gratuity to every bill?
Won’t be going there.

Hey, government gets away with confiscating 18% from middle income earners.

Did the waitress tell the pastor “Eat your peas”?

According to witnesses, the waitress wasn’t sufficiently impressed with the pastor’s “miracles” of loaves and fish.

I’d fire her, too. It’s called “privacy”.

The pastor claims that though she scratched out the automatic gratuity on the bill, she left a $6 cash tip at the table.

If the pastor isn't lying (and I don't think the waitress is denying it), she actually left about a 17% tip anyway.

Sounds like an attempt at a cute joke that backfired.

According to another witness, who sat at a nearby table during the entire episode, the pastor’s miracle of multiplying five loaves and two fishes, significantly cut into the order and consequently into the restaurant’s business.

The story certainly doesn’t point to a pastoral scene.

A party of 20 had a check of $34.93? Can you have a party of 20 that wants separate checks and the computer still add on the 18% automatically?

Until a couple of years ago, our local government employees were not allowed to pay tips on business meals. Now it is limited to 15%.
