Tip Your Server and Save the World

[AnneD]

16. I remember going postal....

in my Sunday School class over the topic of tipping once. I worked my way through college as a waitress. The worst were the after church groups (large groups). They would monopolize your time then give you a dollar and a bible tract on a tab that was over $200. I guess they thought I was doing 'the Lord's work'. It got so bad that all the waitresses were refusing to work Sundays. Bless the manager, he instituted a minimum tip for large groups (10% but it was much more than we had been getting). Oh, there was a lot of fussing and fuming but we didn't really loose any business that we wanted to keep.

I told our class about how bad that made us Christians look to others. What was Christ's message, what you do to the least of them so you do unto me. Some members were shocked about the less than minimum pay, but several women chimed in with their experiences. I know we opened a few eyes that Sunday.

If you call yourself a Christian and don't tip generously....you aren't!!!!!!!
