• UPDATED: ‘I Give God 10%’ Tip Story Takes Interesting Twist: Pastor Revealed & the Waitress Has Allegedly Been Fired

  Just to let everyone know, you can request the gratuity be removed at most places. I know Olive Garden does this. And for that person who said Sundays are the worst – THEY ARE. I am a Christian and HATED working on Sundays because yes, the after church crowds are well known for NOT being friendly or tipping well. No matter HOW good a job you do. It wasn’t ALL of them that were bad, but as an overall, most servers do not like working Sunday afternoons. Get a job as a server and work a Sunday afternoon and you will be amazed…

  @Walkabout
  Yes it IS harder. MUCH HARDER to take care of a party of 20 vs. 10 tables of a party of 2. You don’t have 10 tables at a time, most restaurants are 3-6/7 tables max. This is so the server can provide better service to each table. Some servers though can’t even handle 3 tables :(

  Also, most places require more than one server if there is a large party. So that 18% is being split between 2 servers right from the start. Then they need to tip out the other employees like bartender, busser and hosts.

  I think EVERYONE should be required to have a customer service/public job such as a server before they graduate high school. Make it an internship type thing. People would stop being so stupid to others if this was required. Both parties were in the wrong. Wrong of a Christian to write something like that, and wrong of the employee for posting something personal like that with the name online! Shame on both of them.

  @Sillyfreshness – The point is that we don’t HAVE a choice of what company to get power from. Here in our city in Illinois we have one choice, so not really a choice is it? Our garbage company? – we can’t pick them either. The city bids it out and decides. This last time our city contract was up city hall sent out a letter to all the residents to “ask” which company to use. They included in this a request from our usual garbage service worker a plea to continue with him, because we all like him so much and he’s nice, does a good job and we don’t really want to have to get used to another driver right? That was their official notification…oh did i forget to mention their bid was the highest by quite a bit, but yup, that’s the company the picked. I can’t stand Illinois.

• ‘So What if Abortion Ends Life?’: Pro-Choice Writer Says Some Babies Are ‘Worth Sacrificing’

  She argues that one life IS more important than another?! And the mother is the boss? What if that baby was going to be the next Gandhi – or MLK – or Einstein? If it was the next Hitler, great. But who how many people has this country killed that might have been IMPORTANT when grown?

• U.K. Soccer Star Ejected After Kicking Ball Boy in the Ribs — and Cameras Caught It All

  Good to see the ref was paying attention. The send off was correct. The person who retaliates always gets in trouble. Unfortunately the ball boy should have also been sent off.

  The Bundesliga is the best to watch. No dramatics – just soccer. They don’t put up with the nonsense diving and theatrics.

  Considering Americans did not invent the game I suppose we should call it by it’s CORRECT name, which is football. It’s not their fault we named a game football too…this from someone who has played it for 20+ years. It’s a hard game – as for baseball, my 5 year old daughter can hit a ball with a bat. Baseball is boring. You do need some skill, but it’s still boring.

• Houston Waiter Speaks Out: I Refused a Customer Service Because he Insulted 5-Year-Old With Down Syndrome

  It does not matter that he was serving the ‘public’. The restaurant is a private business and they may ask ANYONE to leave for any reason. Period. A customer can walk in with a political shirt on and the owner can ask them to leave because they don’t like that person. It wouldn’t be smart on the owner’s part, but it’s private property and they can chose NOT to serve someone for ANY reason.

  opps I read IN the UK not part of….but my point still stands. Why do they do stats just for part of the UK? That’s like the US only doing murder stats and not including California or Illinois….?
