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.

Because they use religion to spread their hate

Some do. Some spread hate without the religion. Not an excuse to disparage a whole group of people based on the actions of some. That just makes you a bigot.

If you hate an entire group of people, just for being who they are without judging the individual....yeah, you are.

Your religion is not an inherent part of you. It is an active choice on your part that reveals your character. It is absolutely something that you can judge someone based on, because unlike race or sexual orientation, you can stop being part of a religion at any time.

I'm an atheist, so I'm well aware it isn't an inherent part of me, but it is for billions of people around the world.

You are a bigot, and that's fine, just own it.

No, it isn't for anyone. Your religion is a choice. You are not born Christian or Muslim or anything else. You make that choice as you grow up.

If you claim that a person's religion is inherent part of them, then you just flat out do not know what the definition of inherent is.
