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)
I dunno. It was the waitress’s hard luck the name was unique, though. Things remained in the cute joke phase until the “Pastor” was identified, then it became a demand to fire everybody on the premises. The Manager did the only prudent thing a Manager in this situation could do: Limit the damage by cutting the waitress loose.
And the waitress retaliated by going to sympathetic press. If she is a regular poster at Reddit, then she was probably put in contact with the reporter, and now we witness the story we see at the top of the thread.
