Imagine that...

The article says that the pastor stated she left $6 cash on the table. I find that hard to believe from my experience as a waitress/bartender. IF (& that's a huge if) she left anything it was $2. I'm going to say nothing at all was left.

Hypocrite much?

welp....she got canned.

The waitress that was fired is NOT the one that waited on the table.

According to The Consumerist, the receipt was not uploaded to Reddit by the Applebee’s worker who waited on Bell’s party. Instead, the server showed it to waitress Chelsea Welch, who photographed the receipt and later shared it online. Welch told The Consumerist she was fired yesterday.

They have to claim credit card tips, so if service is fantastic, I'll leave the standard 15% on the card and will leave the rest in cash, but I've never left $0 on a card and just left cash on a table.

When I have cash I always leave the tip cash (and the meal on the card), but I always write CASH on the tip line just in case the bus boy or someone takes it!

I have always wondered why people write down cash, it never occurred to me that someone else might swipe it before the server gets back to the table.

that and it prevents the off chance they might write in their own tip on top of my cash tip.

Good idea. The times I leave a cash tip instead of writing it in I usually make sure to put a zero in the tip line and write the balance at the bottom to prevent that. Hadn't really thought about writing cash but makes sense.

I do typically hand the receipt / tip / booklet thing to the server whenever I pay with any cash, just to make sure he / she gets it.

That's how stevo's waiter gets $100 tips on $50 checks.

i cash tip as frequently as possible. I write 0 with a line through it and cash on the tip line.

A mother of three, Bell heads a 15-member church that rents a storefront space. Bell said she has a separate full-time job--which she declined to describe--and tithes 10 percent of her earnings to the church.


Another person on reddit gets it:

"Wait wait wait. The pastor has a 15 member church that she runs out of a store front. So, that is tax free. She then gives 10% of her income to her church, which is still her own business (really, lets me serious here). So she is just another piece of scum working the system.
Edit to add, so she is just giving herself free money in the way she "donates" to her own church. 10% tax right off, church does not pay on those taxes, looks like a way of sheltering income to me"

I deliver pizza at night, and the majority of cheap ass people are black...however I was surprised last night! I had a young black man tip me $5. Oh and just a heads up for any of you who don't tip the pizza man well, I keep your information and you get signed up for that moving service shit, if I deliver to you again and you're still cheap, I'll give you something extra. Gas isn't cheap and is only getting more expensive. $3 is the minimum to keep me from being a disgruntled employee...just saying.
