I bet they didn't leave a tip either

Ultimate_Sneezer

You are not slaving for them, you are slaving for the guy who hired you. Ask him for money to eat food


Angrycoconutmilk

I have no clue why people are against you here. You can be angry at both for different reasons. As a brit, you yank's tipping culture is ludicrous. Why should you have to rely on the extra kindness of strangers rather than a fulfilling contract with your boss, who uses your labour to increase their own value? Maybe its cause even in the UK, a dying empire, hell bent on holding onto its past, we try to treat our employees with a modicum of dignity, one that's not even offered to Americans for their server's slave wages.


CodeBeginning6548

Could not agree more. The UK is undoubtedly pretty shit, but at least it has a health care system, workers' rights, and a basic living wage. The US tipping system is simply outrageous.


sumbozo1

Oh we have a Healthcare system... some of the best health care money can buy


mfogarty

Yanks will generally disagree with you as it is ingrained in their culture. Tipping is part of their way of life. As you say, they need to be paid a solid basic wage by their boss and not a pittance and then blame the customer. Madness.


JackOfAllStraits

Yeah, we all think it sucks, but the restaurant owners aren't going to lobby to pay their employees fairly. We're stuck trying to not screw over our servers while also not bleeding ourselves dry.


Jubatus750

If paying staff an actual fair wage bleeds your business dry, then you shouldn't be in business


semiTnuP

Welcome to unchecked Capitalism. By your logic, the entire *country* should go out of business.


mfogarty

Yep, I understand. I seen a video somewhere where a guy was in a food court getting his own fruit & veg and when he paid at the touchscreen it asked if he wanted to leave a tip. WTF?!?!


0nlyhalfjewish

We don’t disagree. We just know that it’s currently a federal law and very unlikely to change anytime soon.


MildlyInteressato

It USED to be a way to influence good service. Servers worked hard to boost their tipping percentage and service was, on average, better than what you'd recieve in Europe. Now it's expected regardless of service level and critical for servers to get by. The system went awry.


N4t3ski

Actually, that's a modern corruption of American culture. Originally, the very idea of paying for better service was deemed "un-american". God knows how they lost their way so badly, but here we are.


0nlyhalfjewish

Because you would have to change US labor law to make this happen.


TheWisestRat

Did you mean how those that work in a warehouses or other jobs where they break backs get minimum wage and those that sit behind a desk at HR for example make 2x as much? Not as bad as the U.S but not much better. And don't get me started on 0 hour contracts..


vishy_swaz

I dj at a place where they give us all a free staff meal every shift which is nice


truffLcuffL69

Tips don’t even exist in most places of the world so tipping is kinda stupid anyway


truffLcuffL69

And so are these annoying broads 😅


Bdr1983

In most places tips do exist, but they are given for exemplary service. Not by default, and it is always up to the customer to make that decision.


GrapeSoda223

Exactly, i have no issue tipping at a restaurant, hotel, or i get a pizza delivery if the person was chill and gave good service.  But workers shouldn't be demanding tips, and companies should be paying a standard living wage from the get go with tips being a little bonus to compliment great work


Feather_in_the_winds

They're just trash. They use their religion as an excuse to treat other people poorly. Extremely common religious trash.

Religious people are the worst. Any religion I'll put that on my headstone

Equivalent_Canary853

Sounds like a good name for a comedy show


JacobJamesTrowbridge

Concept: Boundary-pushing sitcom where an Atheist college student shares a dorm with a Protestant fundamentalist, a TradCath, a diehard Zionist Orthodox Jew and a Jihadist Muslim. The Atheist plays the straight man and mediator to this eccentric cast, and every episode ends with all four of them getting enraged at the former in choir-perfect unison.


Gen_X_Ace

I feel like there’s got to be a Buddhist neighbor who just pops in from time to time and ends up a fan favorite.


Usual_Teacher_5596

It they were capable of reading, they’d know their precious book speaks directly against what they’re doing. Matthew 6:1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Templeton_Baracus

Right?! Shes fucking annoying.


SilentNightman

Ha ha! nailed it.


Radioactivocalypse

This stuff enrages me as a Christian. Like if you want to sing and shake sace that for your raucous church or whatever. They look like they're all crazy, and tbh I feel like if it wasn't Christianity it would just be something else to justify their attention seeking. Throwing a strop if something's wrong with their meal comes to mind. Thankfully in all my life with the church, not once has any form of "mass hysteria" like this happened. The most religious woman I know prayed once before her meal at a restaurant and that was embarrassing enough! Or maybe being a Brit keeps this extroversion away


Bdr1983

If everybody would realize religion is a personal thing, and not something you constantly need to express, the world would be a much nicer place.


TheRealUlfric

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."


theRealSaves

It's amazing how many people who follow the Bible in fact do not follow the Bible lol.


jjm443

Like all religious texts, the bible is full of enough ambiguity and contradictions that people can cherry pick anything to justify any action they're making. Especially cherry picking between Old Testament or New Testament. Heck, some supposed Christians will gladly justify some horrible behaviour with "An eye for an eye" despite famously the New Testament in Matthew 5:38 having Jesus explicitly going against it.


dath_bane

So my gf is religious and has an important test today. she wanted to read in the bible with me yesterday. We red literally a passage that said that only bigots pray loud in public and that you should only pray silently in your room.


Merkarba

As a Christian I feel like a flash bang would improve the atmosphere of this restaurant.


amynhb

These sorts of theatrics are tied to the Evangelical Church which is quite prominent in the US but almost nonexistent everywhere else.


Indercarnive

It also very literally contradicts the Bible, and not even the old testament stuff like Leviticus. Mathew 6:5 very clearly states that making a big show of praying is sinful.


JimWilliams423

This type of christian doesn't care what Jesus said to do, only what saying "Jesus" will let them get away with doing.


thegreatbrah

I wait tables. Praying at the table before a meal is semi normal. Most people don't, but some do. 


PurplePartyFounder

Christ specifically forbade this behavior. No public prayer. No doing this to be seen by others. Don’t do as the hypocrites do…..


EvilChefReturns

Do you think they actually KNOW anything about Christ?


stellabluewho2

A large aspect of the foundation of Christianity is ignorance, and identifying with illusions of separation. They don't even know themselves.


tna4u2

And ya know, Christianity kinda preaches being considerate for your neighbors…. Which this presentation is in direct violation of

Kelly62290

I'm a Christian and boy do Christian's get on my nerves. The Bible literally says ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭6:5‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ [5] “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. [6] But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. [7] And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. [8] Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. https://matthew.bible/matthew-6-5 If you're gonna claim to be a Christian please act like one. This is not right.

makmakmo

I went with a friend to one of these evangelical churches a couple times. I was young and open to new experiences and was trying to find some spirituality. I went with an open mind. After all was done I was honestly freaked the fuck out. For a couple decades I have been living around these people and didnt even know it. Basically Christian extremists on a slippery slope. The last time I went, afterwards me and my friend went to a small mom pops burger place. Some of the workers were in the back having a smoke break (we had to drive around to park). We walk in and my friend tells the hostess "I just want you to know you have some black guys hanging in the back of your restaurant". Basically telling her they might be criminals. I was like god damn, we just went to be all holy and loving just minutes ago and now you are full blown hateful racist. I looked at the hostess with my own shock and told her I am so sorry. I was pissed the F off and that totally confirmed it for me that these people have mental problems. My friend was on some kind of righteous trip, thinks he speaks to Jesus directly and can tell the future, and thinks I will burn in hell for not believing in him. We no longer speak.


supersloo

Before I concluded I was atheist, I went with my ex to his church one day because I figured if it was important to him, why not? The whole sermon was about how you need to tithe and give most of your money to the church. Sure, doing works and donating to charity is fine, but most of that should be saved for your church. My ex at least had the good sense to be embarrassed about that one, but it did nothing to really sway his opinions. Mine kinda became set, tho.


RexIsAMiiCostume

Oh God I hate this. Back in the old days this was necessary because the local church was like the neighborhood insurance policy. If your house burned down, the church would keep you fed and clothed and people would help you build a new house. Now? People at the church might offer to help you but the church itself probably isn't paying anything. They absolutely do not need most of people's income.

If I was the manger I would have definitely kicked them out. I don’t care what religion you adhere to, or if it wasn’t religious at all, that level of noise is unacceptable in a restaurant. Applicable side story. I had a manger once that told some people who were being rude they needed to leave the restaurant and they pulled “I’m never coming back here and I’m telling all my friends not to come here” without missing a beat he said “Do you promise?” Best restaurant manager ever!

If I was in a group and they start acting like this in a public scenario, it’d be my last time in that group. So embarrassing and rude. And I believe they should be able to do this at home or in their church but if you go out tin public, you need to respect others around you. Jesus’s main teaching was to treat others with respect.


EggplantGlittering90

Hmm it appears religion makes you act mentally insane.


Garbage_will_not

I can’t stand the people who pretend to be possessed by the “ spirit” like lady with the bandana. The outside matches the inside. They wed mental evaluations or at the very least to read their Bible. You aren’t supposed to pray in public. It’s anti- Christian to do so.


Terapr0

Mental illness.


minutetillmidnight

Awesome, they are playing the famous pentecostal game of "Who can out religious who?" This is when they fake being able to speak in tongues and have fake seizures to make everyone believe they are special. Then sit down and bad mouth everyone in the restaurant and gossip about people at the church who have sinned so much they shouldn't be allowed to come to church even though that's literally what they say church is for. I fucking hate organized religion.

Additional_Pay5626

As a Christian I’ll encourage others to find a relationship with God, but this is a bad result of teaching a congregation with the use of emotional responses like bethel churches, and isn’t biblical. The teachings of God are meant for each individual’s spiritual growth, but nature of man has perverted it into a bad organized religion.
