What's your opinion of the way the customer responded on the receipt? Do you think the waitress should have been fired? Why or why not? How much do you normally tip and why? Have you ever been or will you ever been a waiter or waitress? Why?

I would of reacted the same way. I don't think the waitress should of been fired for it. The pastor was being a d*&% in my opinion. When i tip, i don't calculate how much to give them, I just toss them $5. They will be happy.

I think it was nonsense and immature, especially coming from a "pastor". The waitress should not have been fired, I know I go and make posts after work about shocking things I see or come across. I believe the waitress did not mean to embarrass anyone but she has the right to post that picture up like she said she believed it was funny. I usually get a calculator and do the normal 10 to 15 percent for tips. My friends are waitresses and that's what some especially the older ones live off of, because they do not receive minimum wage. I have never been a waitress but once I turn of age, while in school I could see myself working in that job to make money.

I don't agree with the fact that the waitress was fired. The pastor was respecting her beliefs and I do agree with her. Depending on how well the service is depends how much I will tip. I usually tip about $10 but sometimes $5. I don't plan on being a waiter for the rest of my life, but I wouldn't mind it as a side job.
He shouldn't have reacted to the tip like that. She should haven't been fired like that. I tip the normal amount. I will never be a waiter because they have to rely on tips and they get yelled at.So I would never be a waiter and I would never act like that to the waitress. That`s how they get most of there money.
I do not think that the waitress should have been fired because it wasn't a bad thing she did. I usually leave a 5 - 10 dollar tip. I will never be a waitress because i would be scared i would spill something on someone.
I think that he didn't have to act like that about the tip. She could of tipped what ever she wanted to tip. I don't think the waitress should have been fired for that. I tip waiters or waitresses about 5 bucks and it depends on how well they did. I would not want to be a waiter.
I think that she responded better than she could have. I would have done the same thing. I do not think she should have been fired because it's not that big of a deal. I generally tip on how well they wait on me. No I do not plan on being a waiter, because I know there are some difficult people out there and knowing my luck I will meet one and I don't feel like going through what this woman went through.
I kind of laughed at first while reading the article, because I do understand where the customer is coming from with the automatic tip. But in my opinion I don't think the waitress should lose her job over it. Personally the respond the Pastor gave the waitress was some what rude. I usually tip 15% most of the time unless the waiter gives me a reason to tip less.

A part of me thinks that I would have posted a picture of the receipt . . . A pastor is the last person I would ever expect to leave such a RUDE comment like that. Waitresses do not choose how much tip automatically comes out from a party larger than 8. Why take it out on them? The other part of me thinks that posting and commenting on the receipt was very unprofessional. Dealing with rude people is part of being a waitress! I disagree about her being fired though. The manager should have simply talked to her privately or given her a warning. I always tip depending on how great the waiter/waitress is. It may seem wrong, but they know that their attitude is a huge factor in how much they get tipped. I have never and would never be a waitress because I don't like to deal with people's attitudes (especially if it's my choice). A waitress would be my last resort. It can be really challenging for some people to maintain a great and professional attitude in work places like that. Unfortunately some of them find out too late that they cannot handle it.
I don't think the customer responded well at all. The Pastor had a party of eight or more people. There is no reason for this, and the waitress can not change the gratuity added to the bill. No, I don't think the waitress should have been fired it is her own option to upload the bill or not. I normally tip around 10 to 15 percent. And sometimes more, my mother is a waitress so she knows how it feels to get a low tip. I would become a waitress, it would be a fun job and a great way to meet new people. I love the fast past way of being a waitress.
