"People may not like how tipping works here, but the reality is wait staff get paid less than minimum wage assuming that people will tip."

That's what I meant with "...about America's stupid gratuity system".

If were the church board I'd fire the pastor and petition Appleby's to hire the waitress back.

Not that I take any pleasure in the association in this case, but you should be aware that the pastor in question is a she.

This is one of many postings I've seen regarding this particular incident. Saddest, at least for me, has been the verbal backlash against any and all "organized religions" that I've seen.

#1 The pastor said the service was fine but refused to tip.

#2 Perhaps it was just funny but I'm pretty sure that backfired

#3 I try not to be sarcastic, certainly not to specific individuals

and FYI apparently the waitress was fired for posting the receipt on reddit.

People may not like how tipping works here, but the reality is wait staff get paid less than minimum wage assuming that people will tip.

Sounds like IC is allowed to be sarcastic, but Mr. Pastor 10% isn't.

And let's not get started about America's stupid gratuity system.
