From my point of view, it doesn't matter if the waitress is an Atheist or the customer is a Pastor. The waitress thought it would be funny to post a picture of the customer's signature on Reddit. Reddit is a well-known barking moonbat website, so it would be reasonable to expect the netizens to rally their resources to punish the customer.
It reflects poorly upon her employer, so the employer was well within his rights to fire her a$$. Therefore, the publicity statement from Applebee's is just fine with me. She should be fired, for cause, so no unemployment for her either.
The waitress thought it would be funny to post a picture of the customer's signature on Reddit It is kinda funny that the pastorette had a Mennonite guy's name. Alois (related to French Louis, Spanish Lius, Italian Luigu, Russian Lyudovick) is an unusual American name even for blokes, how come a chick ends up with it?
Or, just possibly, her mama couldn't spell Alice. (or thought that was the guy spelling)
