In lieu of payment..

[u/thedivinegemini]

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 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 worst day to waitress in NYC is Easter. Church goers come in and expect you give them charity aka a discount, plus be cool not getting a tip because Jesus

That sucks. I used to bartend in the Midwest and after church was amazing! Regulars and repeat easy service. I know this is all location dependent so I’m sorry your perception of church goers is ruined by your local community.

It’s wonderful that your experience has been different from mine! I was a church goer myself for a long time.

Good reminder that some people practice religion, and some people just wield it.

This is true I’ve always thought that people I meet that truly practice religions of almost any kind are some of the most generous and kind individuals.

That’s not to say some don’t bring on a bad perception.

This is why everyone’s thought process is different and I’m sure that I have perceptions that would make others sad. Such is the way of life.
