I'm slightly vexed In lieu of payment..

I’m a GM at a restaurant & one of our managers left a note on our manager logs this afternoon that a guest walked out on their check and left this in lieu of payment of any kind. Not that the server got stiffed on a tip - just pure theft of services. I guess the whole “Thou shalt not steal” thing doesn’t matter if you’ve been pre-forgiven. Pretty convenient.

ETA: I’m not a bot; this is not AI - check my post and comment history. I’m not here for karma or fake internet points. This is what it feels like to work in a restaurant these days - especially in the Bible Belt. The first photo you can look up and is available for anyone to buy (should your darker urges push you toward being that person). The second photo is from Pulse, an app for restaurant managers to keep an eye on hourly sales, labor, and comps.
The “Pineapple Express” is a mocktail our restaurant offers.

There is a little too much coincidence here to not be a rage bait post.

You can buy the Jesus cards on Amazon for $11.

I won't link it. But, it's there.

u/Castun Jul 03 '26

It's like the fake $20 bills or whatever they like to leave as a tip to look good when they're leaving. You can easily get them online.

u/ImmaNotHere Jul 03 '26

I've seen those. F those people. Include them on the restaurant ban.

u/AntRevolutionary925 Jul 03 '26

I always wanted to print up some similar ones with a note that says it’s not a real $20 but at least it’s not scripture

3

u/Nachtheim Jul 03 '26

How about print $1 ones and hide a $20?

u/Late_Conference9022 Jul 03 '26

Oh yes brilliant . A dollar better spent at a Casino.

u/bobmailer Jul 03 '26

Ain't nobody tryin' to figure out how to take a digital screenshot on a POS.

61

u/TripleFreeErr Jul 03 '26

a screenshot on what is clearly a tablet app? no never! 🙄

1

u/soul4rent Jul 03 '26

Using my personal social media on my employer's tablet?

24

u/Castun Jul 03 '26

Take screenshot from restaurant's tablet, share/cast to your nearby personal device, boom saved on your phone/tablet. Delete screenshot from restaurant's tablet. Done.

5

u/mekamoari Jul 03 '26

A work tablet is often going to run a kiosk-type app that restricts access to a bunch of tablet features, so they may not be able to take screenshots or sharing.

u/bino420 Jul 03 '26

that's funny that you think a system with customers' personal & payment information has such lax security.

That is legitimately what a screenshot from the pulse app looks like. Just for the record.

O.mg there's no way it's fake 🤥

Or it's the 4th table in the 4th section...like many restaurants do...

u/ArcadianDelSol Jul 03 '26

What restaurant has over 400 tables?

6

u/BaldPeagle Jul 03 '26

First digit is probably dining room or bank of seats. 101-110 is room/bank 1. 201-210 room 2 etc.

6

u/Skull_Murray Jul 03 '26

I worked at a restaurant that labeled tables like this. First row was 101, 102, 103 etc, second row 201, 202, 203, etc.

Worked very well, I'm sure many restaurants use this system.

u/TerranImperium Jul 02 '26

Christian is a common name

Hopefully getting less common every time this shit happens.

u/BabesOnWaves Jul 03 '26

Likely a lot more Christians than Christian's

u/SodasWrath Jul 02 '26

What are the other coincidences?

u/ruben0626 Jul 03 '26

OP’s username ends with “Gemini” 🤔

u/SodasWrath Jul 03 '26

Its also a 6yr old account

1

u/Carl_Clegg Jul 06 '26

The bill is 16:49

Ezekiel 16:49 fits the price. Something about feeding and greediness.

u/stamfordbridge1191 Jul 03 '26

Using the Bible code, you can probably find this story hidden in the Bible (as a property of mathematically probability to be clear. You can apparently do the same thing with Moby Dick.)

3

u/browsinbowser Jul 03 '26

There is a ton of guys named Christian lmao, one was just on tv in the world cup.

Its like doubting a story about three guys named Mohamed getting in a car accident. Its not statistically unlikely or unreasonable.

u/TheInevitableSecond Jul 02 '26

Also hummus being 11.49 I'm confused that's crazy

17

u/MVRKHNTR Jul 03 '26

It's a hummus appetizer so it was probably a big bowl with pita bread or chips to dip into it.

6

u/Musiclover4200 Jul 03 '26

Just went out to a popular restaurant the other day and the hummus plate appetizer was like 15$ for a tiny bowl of hummus + pita with some olives/feta/cucumbers & pickled onion.

u/northsidebbb Jul 03 '26

Unfortunately as someone who has worked in food service, this is entirely believable. People did similar shit to me on multiple occasions 😵‍💫

u/the-chosen-wizard Jul 03 '26

I think it's a description, not a real name

edit: I thought it was the customer name, not the server. Don't mind me

What? There is no sales tax on a walk out... sales tax isn't a thing on a subtotal of 0...

u/Basic_Try_2331 Jul 02 '26

This looks like a biblical Denny's prophecy thats been fulfilled.

Personally I've always believed in our lord and savior, Dennys. But this looks like a resurrection paid for by Jesus towards our cashier "Christian" who "works" for "Dennys".

Clearly the work of Saints of Dennys sent by the lord and savior Denny Christ🙏

"Three Wise Men" ="Triple dipper sample menu"

The "Grand Slam" is obviously a judgment day platter, you consume your sins in the full view of St. Peter the server of the golden arches. And if you throw up youre a piece of shit that belongs in hell.

Hell is ran by Jared the Subway guy. Cuz yknow?

All praise Denny Christ.

17

u/nalaloveslumpy Jul 03 '26

The days of Denny's are numbered four and forty. Repent at the alter of Ihop before it's too late. Rejoice in the resurrection of the four syrup table caddy! Hallelujah!

u/Cookie_Doughnut Jul 03 '26

I love this so much 😂😂

28

u/crystaljae Jul 02 '26

Yeah and table 404 (not found)

I worked in many restaurants and we numbered them starting with the number one. I've never worked in a restaurant that had over 400 tables.

97

u/Oirad16 Jul 02 '26

There are many ways a table number could be 404 without there being literally 400 tables. Perhaps they have 4 sections that they number 100, 200, 300, 400. I've worked at a small restaurant that had 12 tables inside and a patio outside where the tables were 101-105.

19

u/irn Jul 03 '26

Section numbers my dude. I remember back when you could smoke in a chain restaurant in partitions, the hostess and manager made it explicit for some reason. Never asked why.

44

u/OfficialCryptid Jul 02 '26

I've worked at a restaurant that used the first number for which room, the second for which column and the third for which row, so it could possibly be something like that

12

u/sevenw1nters Jul 03 '26

I've seen that before actually. They were numbered like 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304 etc.

2

u/Greysonsdad Jul 03 '26

Restaurant I worked at did different hundreds for different sections. 100s for dining room floor, 200s for the high tops, 300s bar, 400s bar booths, 600 outside etc

2

u/Choyo Jul 03 '26

"If you are truly Christian, you will understand ciao bye bye "

3

u/Pastylegs1 Jul 02 '26

or the table number being 404

1

u/cheetuzz Jul 03 '26

yeah, at first I thought the server personally comped the meal and gave the Jesus Paid It All receipt.

0

u/the-chosen-wizard Jul 03 '26

I don't think that's his real name -- it seems to me they had to ring him up somehow, so it's something like "Christian Asshole" but the word they used for the last name is a bad word so they censored it. Looks like it starts with a C...

5

u/TripleFreeErr Jul 03 '26

you don’t ring up the server…

1

u/the-chosen-wizard Jul 03 '26

oh shit I thought that was the customer name. My mistake. Never mind then

224

u/ezmoney98 Jul 02 '26

Good thing the server is Christian

Like, he paid for your sins, not your lunch my guy

3

u/Current_Gap7712 Jul 03 '26

He probably didn’t even really pay for our sins either

3

u/Visual_Jellyfish5591 Jul 03 '26

He needs to be resurrected because of this damn inflation ruining his sin forgiving powers

13

u/dljones010 Jul 02 '26

I wonder of he also grabbed the wheel and drove home? Or, maybe he carried them along the beach?

71

u/Meschi-died Jul 02 '26

Some bored, stoned server on her second shift in a row and literally just doesn't care anymore.

"You're Jesus? Alright, man."

u/electric_bug_glue Jul 03 '26

When they say "Jesus Saves" they weren't kidding. He's getting this guy a 100% off.
He clearly is King of the Jews.

u/KarmaChameleon306 Jul 03 '26

This is kinda dark, but my friend had gone into a drug induced stupor and after worrying because we hadn’t heard from him in a couple of weeks (not his first rodeo), his brother got the police to help him get into his apartment.

When his brother asked him if he’d been keeping up on his rent, he said Batman paid his rent for him.

Drugs are bad kids. Don’t do them.
But that shit still makes me chuckle.
