In reply to the discussion: Waitress Who Posted No-Tip Receipt From “Pastor” Customer Fired From Job [View all]lynne
(3,118 posts)- as what she did was a violation of trust between the consumers and the restaurant. The waitress is the one who violated that trust by putting sensitive information online - including info that identified the restaurant. That was a really bad judgement call on her part. And not many places will retain an employee that has shown such poor judgement and then publicized it for all to see.
I'm speaking of consumers in the broader term to include other patrons that tip well and are good customers. No patron wants to frequent a restaurant where they know a waitress has placed sensitive info online. I know I wouldn't.
What the pastor did was wrong and she had it coming to her. Had the waitress found a way to confront the pastor without involving the restaurant, it would be a much different story. But embarrassing your employer and placing his business at risk is not the way to get back at the pastor. It is, however, a good way to get fired.
