Applebee’s fires waitress for exposing pastor’s ‘give God 10%’ no-tip receipt

[Snotty]

Applebee's home office number......DineEquity inc.

866-995-3463

I usually tip 20-25% . but the second they add on the gratuity they don't get shit extra. at least this place put it on the bill. bars around here get shady and won't bring an itemized bill unless you ask for it. after months at this one bar I found out I had been tipping 43% .

fuck em.

Are you kidding? That is pretty shitty of that bar! Anyway, I usually tip around 20 - 25% too. Most wait staff work really hard.

[jameslanza]

that nigger would not have tipped if she was a pastor or just a street nig

[Snotty]

DineEquity also owns ihop..........

[Reggae Mistress]

The pastor should have an issue with Applebee's 18% gratuity policy for parties over 8, not the server.

I consider myself a religious person - I am practicing Roman Catholic - and I don't believe that I am stupid. I align myself more with the Republicans than with the Democrats, and that doesn't make me stupid either. What this customer did was idiotic, but she doesn't represent "religion" or the "religious", she's just an asshole. There are asshole atheists and asshole Catholics and asshole Jews and asshole Buddhists. The world is full of assholes.

*** did not mean to offend anyone ...........and the world is full of assholes



*except Mutt..he can go fuck himself 24/7

Gratuities remove any incentive for good and TIMELY service...........................

I do not feel there should be an automatic gratuity put on my bills. I tend to over tip in general (especially restaurant staff it is very tiresome work). I feel you should tip based on the degree of service.

It is like when you go to the hair salon and you end up tipping 5 different people just because they touched your hair for a minute (ok this is a female issue let me get back on topic).

Working in the service industry you will sometimes encounter cheap, rude and inconsiderate people. It just goes with the job. While I am sure it was momentarily gratifying to make the bill public it wasn't worth losing your job over. Don't worry people like the pastor will get whats coming to them eventually. Hasn't the pastor ever heard the term God don't like ugly!

I haven't been in a hair joint for twenty years............I usually only had one stylist that also did the shampooing..........Have they come up with a new scam for tips?

[FSFN]

This has more to do with race & lack of class, then religion.

[BethsZygote]

most of you are fucking retarded. That 18% was not added on, it was put there so you can see how much it would be.

And as for blaming the server for TIMELY serves... ever heard of the thing called a KITCHEN?

Learn to read a receipt and feel free to figure out the server doesnt cook your food.

One person drapes you with a cloth and brushes your hair gets you a beverage, then the stylist (I usually go to a owner who really should receive no gratuity (but I still tip) consults with me. Then he has his assistant help with holding the foils for the hi-lights then they have somone else shampoo you, then they have someone put a hair color on, then owner will cut my hair and then have his assistant blow dry. By the time I leave I think I have shelled out 50 extra bucks in addition to the $200.

And for all the men who are reading this and are saying who gives a fuck. I apologize in advance for my post

From the article....

Bell, seen above, said her notation on the receipt was a “lapse in judgment that has been blown out of proportion.” Despite scratching out the tip added to the bill, Bell claimed that she left a $6 tip in cash, adding that she subsequently discovered the 18 percent gratuity had been charged to her credit card.

the person was fired for posting it.
the customer is always right

[AcquiringSignal]

According to The Consumerist, the receipt was not uploaded to Reddit by the Applebee’s worker who waited on Bell’s party. Instead, the server showed it to waitress Chelsea Welch, who photographed the receipt and later shared it online. Welch told The Consumerist she was fired yesterday. In a statement, Applebee’s spokesperson Dan Smith reported that, “Our franchisee has apologized to the Guest” for violating the patron’s “right to privacy.” The individual responsible for the leak “is no longer employed by the franchise,” Smith added.
