At no point is any claim made that this particular pamphlet was disguised as money. Just that it was left along with a very small tip.

These are two different incidents (the fake bill and the eternity is waiting pamphlet).

Isn't it unlawful to reproduce US currency? lpbk2713 Jan 2016 #1

It's legal as long as it's different enough from a real bill. jeff47 Jan 2016 #2

OK, thanks. lpbk2713 Jan 2016 #6

And it's only printed on one side. jmowreader Jan 2016 #20

To clarify, you mean physically larger or smaller Tab Jan 2016 #40

I think it's legal if it's not a full bill. DetlefK Jan 2016 #5

Another in a long line of excuses to deny tipping. LanternWaste Jan 2016 #19

Please note that the person did leave a real tip along with the pamphlet oberliner Jan 2016 #22

But you know that they were secretly laughing at the thought of the waitress Human101948 Jan 2016 #27

I think two different stories are being conflated here oberliner Jan 2016 #28

Exactly. nt cwydro Jan 2016 #31

The server served more than 1 person at that table. greyl Jan 2016 #44

A tip was left along with the pamphlet oberliner Jan 2016 #45

Wooptie do, and some asshole from that church left that stupid tract. greyl Jan 2016 #46

If you are a true believer, then you think you are doing something good oberliner Jan 2016 #48

That's just one of the colossal problems with Religious thinking, greyl Jan 2016 #50

I hope the manager exercises the right to refuse service as well. nadinbrzezinski Jan 2016 #54

The tip was 8 percent. 80 cents per $10 on the bill. haele Jan 2016 #64

I definitely support the set wage/no tip idea oberliner Jan 2016 #66

The bait and switch is cruel. Combined with a shitty tip- 8% is a shitty tip- its noteworthy. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #77

There was no bait and switch oberliner Jan 2016 #83

Putting a phony printed half $20 to lure her into reading about Jesus isn't a bait and switch? Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #85

That was a different story oberliner Jan 2016 #87

Gotcha. Warren DeMontague Jan 2016 #126

totally, totally agree - get rid of tips! rurallib Jan 2016 #104

I do 20%, but only because that is American custom CommonSenseDemocrat Jan 2016 #124

I don't see anywhere Megahurtz Jan 2016 #72

That's why I added the reply oberliner Jan 2016 #82

8% is a funny definition of "a real tip" Orrex Jan 2016 #80

We are talking about a difference of $3 here oberliner Jan 2016 #84

It's an asshole move whatever the intent Orrex Jan 2016 #88

If they had left a 20 percent tip plus the pamphlet would that also be an "asshole move" ? oberliner Jan 2016 #89

If they disguised the pamphlet as money, then it's an asshole move Orrex Jan 2016 #92

The pamphlet left behind in this case DID NOT look like money. oberliner Jan 2016 #93

Lovely Orrex Jan 2016 #94

Agreed oberliner Jan 2016 #95

What's the big idea, agreeing with me? Orrex Jan 2016 #96

Fighting is definitely more fun! oberliner Jan 2016 #110

I definitely conflated them, but only because I mixed them up. Orrex Jan 2016 #112

Here I disagree with. Leaving a religious tract even with a super tip is assholish. Gormy Cuss Jan 2016 #117

If that waitstaff was anything like I was when I waited tables, ladyVet Jan 2016 #107

He should've left more money oberliner Jan 2016 #109

Was there something wrong with the service? Warren Stupidity Jan 2016 #111

What would be an even better response....... WillowTree Jan 2016 #24

That was my first thought as well, Sherman A1 Jan 2016 #29

The person left a chintzy tip along with a pamphlet oberliner Jan 2016 #91

A cheap tip with no explanation of why other than a religious tract isn't worse? Gormy Cuss Jan 2016 #118

Well the pamphlet led to the church getting that note oberliner Jan 2016 #123
