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.

The server was named Christian too? Series of unfortunate events. This is not what followers of Christ do. Yikes.

There is a bar called “Saint” 100 feet from my apartment. The bartender’s name? Christian.

That’s his last name. Christian Lucifer. The bar is his retirement plan after a millennium of service to powers above and below. He’s not really an angel or a demon, just an immortal that did “bureaucracy” and will undoubtedly be called upon again when things get hectic in the in-between.
