This reminds me of the discount a lot of restaurants, especially in the South, gave on Sundays to people who could show a current church program brochure to the waiter/waitress as proof they had attended services.
I loved that idea. But I think it got a lot of the godless Left angry, so it stopped, to our shame.
They should bring it back
A sandwich/pizza shop in Augusta, Maine was advertising a discount to state employees on a particular day of the week. This was about 3 or 4 years ago. The shop is around the corner from the capitol building.
It’s a Maine chain so I wrote a polite note to the HQ stating that it was unfair to only give the discount to state employees, especially since they have far more job security than people in the private sector. I suggested that they either discontinue the practice or alternate the discount days for people in various private sector businesses. The person responding actually agreed to me but stated that the decision to do that was the individual shop owner’s. Said she’d forward the message to the Augusta store. I haven’t seen the state employee discount advertised since then.
Just don’t advertise it as church based and accept any faith related (even atheist) material and they should be in compliance. Businesses can discriminate in a lot of ways but race and religion are not two of them.
I’ll tell you what I hear from servers who work Sundays: Sundays after church is the worst shift. People are poorly behaved and tip less than any other shift. And, for some reason, they don’t appreciate tracts in lieu of tips.
