Hi Jacob. I fully agree with you that we should not typify all people in a given category by the unfortunate behaviors of a few. Thank you for saying it; sadly it needs to be repeated often. My good wishes for your father and sister. Be well.

As for self-righteous, inconsiderate douche bags, they don’t last long around here, regardless of their beliefs or lack thereof.

hey, i just want to inject in here that Thomas Steagald is my father and the server in this story is my sister. Thomas Steagald is also a Methodist Pastor, a wonderful Christian and an excellent tipper. Please dont assume that because some Christians are entitled assholes that we all are. In the same way that some atheists are self righteous, inconsiderate douche bags but some are not. i hope that you can both learn from my sisters experience and also realize that this one example does not speak for the majority of the Christian population.

Postal employees are prohibited from accepting gratuities. They risk their jobs when they do so. They also make much more than most of their postal clients, so accepting gratuities is taking advantage of those less well-off than themselves. Despicable if it is done.

I am an Atheist. I do not disrespect an individual for his or her belief. I completely agree with your statement. Unfortunately, people (like those attending the restaurant) make people like you look bad. Additionally, all the Atheists that put you down or disrespect you, make me look bad for my beliefs. Bad people are simply bad people, and they are the ones that believe their belief is superior to anyone who might believe differently. Ignorance is not bliss. It is shameful.

It was entrapment then. They shouldn’t patronize restaurants on Sundays then, becuase they’re compelling people to sin on their behalf. If I believed it it, I’d say they were going to hell.

Gutless cowards…..instead of abstaining from going to a restaurant, and therebye not requiring someone to work, they punish the server? Shameful, gutless dogs. Im sure their Christ would be ashamed of them.

The manager should have thrown them out.

I feel for you. I used to wait tables. I consider it a thankless job. I am from the Midwest and dealt with people of this ilk. They are only disguising their cheapness (and lack of christianity…..or belief in God) by their actions.

They suck and need to be told to in their faces what they truly are.

Tipping isn’t just an American custom. In some countries where I have traveled servers work only for their tips.

I know this post was made years ago but I had to comment on it. 1st your understanding of socialst-communism is flawed. The idea of giving your possessions to the poor is completely fine and understandable…the difference is that socialist-communism makes the decision to give your possessions for you, your choice is removed from the equation and the beneficiary of your “giving” is decided by someone other than yourself. What the Bible is proposing is not communism, it is individuals deciding to help out those less fortunate, not governments deciding to help out those who can give them the most power.

Socialism/Communism has never resulted in a society that lifts the poor up and generates equality. Socialism has always resulted in an incredible divide between the haves and have-nots. Those at the top keep gaining while those at the bottom keep losing seeing their standard of living fall. The problem with people espousing Socialistic ideas as the only way to equality is that they have a flawed view of what equality means. Equality doesn’t mean that we have the same house, car, job, degree. Equality means that we have equal standing under the law, which in the US we have slowly seen equality under the law disappear. Equality also means that we have equality of opportunity. Some people take advantage of the opportunities presented to them, others don’t thus leading to an inequality of circumstance, however, our government wasn’t designed to provide an equality of circumstance, just opportunity and standing under the law. That is it.

So you need to get your definitions correct before throwing those sentiments around.

we all have our comments on things in life what the group of 6 people said to the waitress is rude and not god like ….. I waited on tables for yrs and am thankful that I don’t have to anymore as the public can be very rude
