The church crowd collectively shitting themselves over what to leave for a tip at brunch
They've been planning for this. Church ads with faux dollars printed on the front cost less than a penny to print.
Oh please, they've been using those fake dollar, judgemental prayer notes for years
I'm not familiar. What is that?
They're slips of paper designed to be folder that look like a folded 5, 10, 20 dollar notes but when you open them its just a prayer or a note about how you're going to hell for greed because you expected money. Some people leave them as tips for some reason
They should throw them in the collection plate when that is passed around.
The reason is that they're assholes.
Is this a thing for church people.. Are they notorious bad tippers?
Yes. The sunday "after church" brunch is considered the worst possible shift in any resturant open for it.
Tends towards self righteous and demanding people who enjoy flaunting status and casting judgement. It also runs older, and older people tend to tip what they tipped in the past, and not keep up with inflation.
$2 might have been nice in 1988, but it isnt going far in 2025.
Also the worst retail customers when they are either finished with lunch or waiting to be paged for their table
church people are notoriously bad everything
it's why they have to go to church. because they can't just be good people.
To quote an ex-friend who was also Christian, "A church isn't a club of saints, its a hospital of sinners."
Some delusional religious freaks think they are doing you a huge favor by leaving a fake bill that either has a Bible verse and some dumb lesson, or an invite to their church.
They're giving you the opportunity to save your mortal soul, isn't that worth more than some pathetic tip? You were never going to get 15% out of those losers anyway.
Or maybe they're just fucking cheap bastards, using their religion as an excuse, like they use it to justify every other terrible thing they do in life, because they're Christians.
Church crowd is pretty awful in the grocery industry, too. It was especially bad at my previous store, which was in a deeply evangelical town in Central Alberta. All would be quiet on Sunday until about noon. Then the floodgates would open to the most high-on-their-own-farts religious degenerates. Nobody talked down to you quite like a middle-aged woman in church clothes. And they would plug up all the aisles talking scripture and shit. Fuck, I hated that town.
