…does not depend on your religion
or lack thereof.
To be kind of crude, who p****d in that second person's cornflakes? Smile when someone says "blessed" anything and go about your day. How hard is that?
Did he just spend $150 on dinner and refuse a tip? Does "KM" stand for a $50 kid's meal?
But yeah, both of these people are jerks for different reasons.
I don't know. That second one looks a bit photo-shopped to me.
I thought the same thing. The handwriting is too perfect.
Looking at it again – you're probably right.
Failure to tip is — at least in this country — denying a worker of their living wage (whether or not you get them fired afterwards). I hope the Pastor recognizes that.
I would say it's case-by-case on that one. Someone who works at an upscale restaurant is not having their living wage destroyed by a failure to tip. Your local small-scale waiter/waitress? I'd agree.
Then again, I'm a proponent of eliminating the tip system all together and just paying the wait staff a living wage to begin with. I'm willing to pay more for a meal for that.
Alternatively, a good waiter working on tips does very well. I've got a large family and I can say that if we get even a B+ waitress or waiter then I tip very well for the effort. I don't think it takes much to really get a good tip.
Perhaps the right answer would be to give God more, rather than the waitress…less.
Of course only the actions of the first one create scandal and make it that much harder for some people to accept Christ. That woman actually may be responsible for turning people away from God.
As for not tipping – Victor is right. If done out of ignorance, whatever, but deliberately not tipping is without a doubt denying a worker wages for his services, much like not paying someone who provides any other service.
I have worked in the American restaurant industry for years, and seen how it works in other countries. I personally think we have the best system, and I enjoy the idea of the guest paying the server directly. But some people are real, real jerks.
I anyone is ignorant of the fact that restaurant servers depend on tips, please start tipping decently.
"As for not tipping – Victor is right. If done out of ignorance, whatever, but deliberately not tipping is without a doubt denying a worker wages for his service."
My understanding is the the gov't assumes the wait staff receives a certain % of tip and is thus taxed on it, even though the waiter/waitress was stiffed.
Tips on credit cards are calculated and taxed accordingly; tips on cash checks are assumed to be at least 10%. Even if the second example is real, the server would not be out anything in taxes…but would be out a few dollars in "tip-share": the money, based on total sales and not on tips, that is paid to the bartenders, hostesses, and bussers.
And in the first example, "Pastor Alois Bell" still paid the tip, rude note or not.
That turns out not to be the case. If you look carefully at Bell's credit card tab, $34.93 is the tab exclusive of gratuity; the automatic gratuity ($6.29) is crossed out and the total written in as $34.93.
I've been a waiter. You run your legs off for parties of more than four or five, because you have to get everybody their food at the same time and you can't fit that many meals on one tray. Yet large parties are more likely to stiff you. That's why there's an enforced gratuity on large parties.
That clarifies it. thanks
So a patron who pays by credit card can save the waiter some in taxes by writing zero on the tip line, but then leaving the tip in cash?
That is correct and is often what my wife and I do when we eat out.
Yes, that's acceptable. But I doubt very much that Bell did that, given (a) the tone of the note and (b) the fact that the waitress was aggrieved enough to post it on Reddit.
Pastor Bell got the waitress fired as well.
In the comments, some people pledge to never eat at Applebee's again. This compounds the injustice, since the restaurants are owned by franchisers and they are likely boycotting a franchiser who had no say in the firing of the waitress. Thus we have more than a trifecta!
1. The pastor of the sect, who acted like a jerk in stiffing the waitress.
2. The waitress, who acted like a jerk in posting the bill on the internet.
3. The Applebee's franchiser, who acted like a jerk in firing the waitress.
4. The commentators, who promised to act like jerks by boycotting other franchisers entirely innocent in this kerfuffle.
In physics, this is known as the Law of Conservation of Jerkiness, and is expressed as a function of the third derivative of position over time. We're lucky this stopped short of escalation into World War III. Obviously, the waitress had a beef with the pastor and the pastor had a beef with the waitress and the restaurant, the restaurant manager had a beef with the waitress, and the commentators have a beef with the manager. That means this whole thing is a mess of beef jerky.
Are you sure you aren't having a knee-jerk reaction to all of this?
Actually, I believe it was a friend of the waitress who posted it, not the waitress herself. I don't know if she knew about it at the time or not. I think the pastor was the worst of it–she was a jerk, it went public that she was a jerk, so instead of showing a little humility, she makes a stink and the waitress loses her livelihood. I don't know the specific policies of Applebee's, but the manager might have had his hands tied by policies (or not).
I'd imagine the restaurant would have had no choice but to fire the employee. IF the employee is the one who posted it, it's probably what she deserved. I've gotten rude little statements like this before, and it is just trashy to post it online WITH the person's name on it. If I did something like that I'd expect to be fired.
It is trashy; but honestly, she was young. I think I'd've had her immediate supervisor read her the riot act, leave her thinking she was going to be fired, and then tell her, 'well, no: we know that customer was singularly ignorant; so as long as you've learned to vent in non-public ways, we'll pick you up and shake the dust off.'
That pastor doesn't give God 10 percent. She gives her church 10 percent.
I can't respond directly in this format, but:
Andy, Bad Person – if the restaurant industry ever switched to paying waiters a base wage instead of relying on tips, you're looking at about an increase in wages by a factor of about 5 or so.
In any event, many people who wait table would no longer do so. We tend to see the tip system as a feature, not a bug – we recognize that excellent service and salesmanship has an effect on what we make, and at least for myself, I'm genuinely grateful to my *customer* for what I make, so there's something to be said for the relationship that develops there.
In all reality, these people are huge jerks, but when you average out the pay you make over the course of a week or a month, individual good or bad tips do not matter. And by law, if an employee does not make enough in terms of tips, the restrurant has to compensate up to minimum wage – it's called "Z money" for some reason.
Still – not tipping a server is a truly jerky thing to do, any anyone who's worked in the industry knows the horrible feeling that comes with it. I'm still amazed at how many people seem to be ignorant or not care about the customary tip. I can't tell you how many times I've said my goodbyes and thank-you's to a guest who's spent a lot of money, only to see a few dollars balled up on the table (my restaurant, like many, charges 3-5% of sales on order to "tip out" bussers, hostesses, etc., regardless of how much we make).
Margaret Catherine – where do you get that she paid the tip? It might be that the automatic gratuity is included in the total, and she had to pay it anyway (legally, there's probably a note in the menu about large parties), but it's clear her *intention* was to leave 0%, which is obvious from her scratching out the 6.29.
Besides, 6.29 IS 18% of 34.93, not 18% of 28.64 (34.94 – 28.64), so unless she was forced to pay it (I doubt it) she did stuff her server.
Andy, again – even in an upscale restaurant, the server depends on tips for their living. Other people may pay enough that the person is not denied a living wage, but for the point of view of the tipper, it is denying the person their wage, because if everyone did so, the server wouldn't make an living wage. This is no different than not paying the baker or the cook for certain items.
Lastly, the server was a jerk too. She posted this on reddit, a haven for Intenet atheist thugs and bigots, as "proof" of how bad Christians are.
I'm not sure where I read it and don't really want to go looking, so take this with a grain of salt, but I thought that I too had read that they left the tip in cash. (Something like there were separate tickets for each person at the table, but the group then pooled cash for the tip.) Not sure the thinking behind the snotty note under these circumstances, though. Weird thing to do.
I dunno, maybe that's true. Of course, there'd be no way to prove it.
But that would honestly make no sense. The bill charged an autograt, which would mean that if the credit card is run, the gratuity would be charged automatically, unless the manager manually overrides it somehow. I've never seen anyone pay with a credit card and then pay the *automatic* tip in cash, and I'm not even sure how it's possible.
Like I said: grain of salt. I don't think it really matters anyway. Leaving a tip does not license someone to be rude to the wait staff, to make a condescending remark that reveals that you think of them as unentitled beggars.
Whoops – misread the amount as including the autograt. Even worse since it looks like we use the same POS system!
An automatic tip I pay, but don't add to it. which its too bad, because good service gets at least 20% from me. In cases of an exceptional meal, I write the praise on the ticket, so corporate sees it. Complaints go through the internet.
Corporate won't see the praise unless the server gives it to someone. The reaction is usually "isn't that nice". I'd recommend e-mails and comment cars for praise of you really want the company to see it.
I'm sure God doesn't mind only getting 10% as long as it helps the waitress out. God is kind of cool like that.
Sin of detraction Mark? The point could have been made without revealing identities…..
This was all over the internet already.
"This was all over the Internet already." So? Repeating the woman's name is good how? And repeating detraction is not detraction how? If the point of the blog entry is to discuss the bad habit of not tipping and being obnoxious about it, what purpose does the name serve except to make me think ill of that person?
This is the first time I'm seeing the full receipt pictured. I was leaning toward both of them being fake.

And that's my new signature!
My work here is done.
Had a dream about a former friend a couple of years ago. We'd been big mates but she'd nicked a load of stuff from me and we weren't friends again. To put it mildly.
She died a few years later and in the dream I had about her she was sitting in a big Gothic-looking bay window, wearing her usual mutton-dressed-as-lamb new-agey clobber and bemoaning her lack of ability to help her family, who were in a mess. Drug/drink/police trouble, y'know. All the things that she'd brought them up to think were OK.
I thought, can't you stop feeling sorry for yourself? Haven't you learned ANYTHING? When you passed over, weren't you met by people who loved you, who helped you?
Woke up as she was still droning on about how terrible things were and how unhappy she was…

Escargot, I wonder if it's a good thing that people stay the same once they've gone over? Your post reminds me of similiar dreams.
I had a childhood friend who I was close with for a while, particularly into our early to mid-teens. Heady times we were both besotted with the same girl but she ended up with some rough dude a few years older than us.
Anyway after school we both went different ways and our relationship became very distant to the point when I last saw him, we hardly had a thing to say to each other, we must have been around 20.
Shortly afterwards he was killed and since then I get occasional dreams about him, maybe two or three a year.
He has no real personailty in it and unlike yours Escargot I'm not thinking "you are dead".
I think he represents something, lost youth, unfufilled dreams, maybe guilt and I always wake up feeling a bit sad.
He was heading career-wise, on a much better path than me as I sank into the embrace of the usual demons that plague the young, drugs and booze. I knew he was a bigger "success" at the time than me.
Maybe it is guilt?
Whilst talking about dreams I've had many dreams about a girl, (when younger) and now a women who I'm immediately attracted to, to the point that it is like finding your ultimate soulmate. The women changes appearance, a completely different women everytime, but I always feel the same about her and it's intensisty is greater even than that of your first love.
Someone suggested it is a representation of my female side. This makes sense as I sure my wife would agree that I love myself too much.

One of the theories about dreams is that everyone in them is actually oneself. That one about my former friend, though, that was very specific indeed and it's hard to see how it applied to me.

I had a dream the other night that my best friend knitted me a onesie and was absolutely adamant that I wore the ghastly thing.
If everyone in your dreams is actually a part of yourself I hope this doesn't mean there's a part of my selfconscious that really desperately wants to wear a knitted onesie all day...

Freud believed that dreams were about
what we want
. We dream about fulfilling our desires because if we didn't, we'd never sleep from worrying about them.
So… what colour was this onesie?

Freud also believed that women had penis envy, that cocaine's health benefits outweighed the risks, and that psychoanalysis would be a science if he repeatedly called it that. I'm not letting his thumbprints all over my dreams.
And I am quite certain we don't want to know what he thinks a onesie represented (but I bet we all suddenly are sure that we do).

Yup and Freud also seemed to consider that the material of a dream was derived from the dream-day ie. the waking life of the subject in the day before the dream.
I can't recall exactly how dogmatic he was about that point. I am taking the Interpretation of Dreams to bed with me tonight to find out.
I am pretty certain that at least nine-tenths of my own dreams are a by-product of the mental filing-system which sorts information into piles. Computer students will be aware of push-and-pop or Last-In-First-Out operations . . .
More fundamentally, I am sure we categorize information in much the same way as a database. That is to say, the categories are laid down early on with our earliest experiences forming Headings. What causes the end of the Headings and the start of the assignment of later experiences to these declared Fields, seems to determine who we are.
So much for the routine dreams.
But a few dreams seem to come from quite another place. In their extreme forms, they cause people to change their lives. In milder forms, they take us to a region which provides solace at times of crisis . . . etc etc.
But it is late at night and I have a big book to re-study. I think I read it last fully when I was a very geeky 15.

I did not read very much in the event. Just a fairly short chapter in which Freud in Germanic scholarly mode sums up the authorities who line up on either side of the debate as to whether dreams emerge from our daily lives or allow us to escape entirely from our own selves.
He gives an amusing dream from Hildebrandt.
The dreamer goes to St Helena to sell sell Moselle wine to Napoleon, who receives him cordially. But the dreamer has never been a wine-merchant, nor ever wished to be one. He has never been on a sea-voyage and had no interest in visiting St Helena. He has no sympathetic feelings about Napoleon - in fact he detested him. The clincher is that the dreamer was born after the death of Napoleon.
The dream has no connection with the life of the dreamer. Cases such as this seem to have set Freud off on the symbolic route in order to re-establish connections at another level. His dogmatic reduction of wild and varied subject matter to sexual terms is probably why the book has remained unopened for years.
Perhaps it is best treated as a rich storehouse of material and an ideal bedside book.

I suppose it's a very narrow line between this behaviour and Dreaming of the dead:
Robert Peston: my dead wife still tells me what to do when we talk
Robert Peston, the BBC's business editor, has disclosed that he still seeks advice from his late wife Siân Busby, saying the "conversation" with a loved one continues after death.
By Hannah Furness
6:00AM BST 07 Oct 2013
Peston, whose wife died from lung cancer last year, said the relationship "doesn't vanish", as he admits he continues to "have a dialogue" with her in his daily life.
Appearing at the Cheltenham Literature Festival to speak about her last novel, A Commonplace Killing, he said he still finds himself asking her advice in a "challenging situation".
Peston also spoke of his work transcribing the longhand writing of his "brave, tough, honest, astonishingly scholarly" wife, after she finished her novel quietly before she passed away.
When asked by Huw Edwards, his colleague, why he had felt the need to write out her words so soon after her death, Peston said: "I have a powerful sense of duty. It felt like the right thing to do to honour her."
He then discussed "what happens to your relationship with a person after they die", saying in his case he believed "the conversation" carried on.
"If you're lucky enough, as I was, to have a partnership as rich and important as my one with Siân, you continue in a sense to have a dialogue. Even after physically she's gone.
"This was the most, I suppose, obvious way in which the conversation was kept going. As the person who was mostly the counsellor in my life, I still find myself asking her in a sense what the right thing to do in a challenging situation [is].
"The answer is that that conversation continues and this was part of it."
A Commonplace Killing tells the story of a crime in post-war London, and was given a four-star review by The Daily Telegraph for its "rich period detail" and "beautifully drawn characters".
Busby, who never smoked, died last September, aged 51, leaving two sons.
In an introduction to her novel, Peston wrote that his motive for writing up her final chapters was "selfish", admitting: "I wanted to keep talking to her. I still do."
When asked by a member of the audience what Busby would have said if she been at the event herself, Peston joked she would probably have ticked him off.
"She would have given an astonishingly scholarly account of post-war Britain," he said. "And she would probably say, 'Why are you going on about all this sentimental nonsense?'. Because she was a much tougher person [than me] in that sense."
He added: "Opening a book, hearing the person you love more than anything in the world, hearing her voice in your head was very, very difficult, but it was something I felt was absolutely the right thing to do.
"She was writing this knowing she was dying. That's pretty extraordinary."

Here's what St Augustin had to say about
dreams of the dead
On the Care of the Dead
This is a heavy read so if you're interested, you could do a search on the page for the word
It's a discussion about whether people who appear in our dreams, whether dead or alive, can really tell us anything we don't already know.
Stories are told of certain appearances or visions, which may seem to bring into this discussion a question which should not be slighted. It is said, namely, that dead men have at times either in dreams or in some other way appeared to the living who knew not where their bodies lay unburied, and have pointed out to them the place, and admonished that the sepulture which was lacking should be afforded them.
I heard about this in a podcast. How educational.

After my dad died when I was 18, he appeared in a dream to say he'd been employed by the government as a spy and was back working on the QE2 which had to stay in Australia. (He used to be a merchant navy sailor on the Cunard queens.)
When I woke I was not only comforted by this dream but somewhat impressed with my dreamself's ingenuity in coming up with this explanation for why he wasn't there.
Later, he would pop up in my dream and take me for a little drive and ask me how I was getting on and I would moan about college then Uni. We'd have a nice cup of tea and he'd drive off 'til next time.
He doesn't appear in my dreams much now. I guess my mind has finally got used to the idea 20 years later. Sometimes I pop back in time and have my evening meal with my family as they were when I was about 13.
My grandad died 10 years ago and despite his being my mentor and my still missing him like a hole in the head I have never once dreamed about him. Strange.
edit: Gah. I've just read my post from 2010 in the other thread where I almost repeat this post word for word. Sorry folks.

My Dad died 15 years ago, of a heart attack caused by COPD (only it was called emphysema then.) At the end of his life he was a small, hunched, frail, emaciated figure reliant on a piped oxygen supply all the time; he had been a nurse, and I always thought he looked scared, too, because he knew what was coming.
A few months after his death, my OH had a dream in which he met my Dad looking healthy and happy; they shook hands and my Dad left. Neither of us has dreamt about him since, but I got a great deal of comfort from that when he told me about it.

I lost my Dad 10 years ago to cancer and I dream of him often. In my dreams he is always just there, like he's never been gone. He's always fit and healthy and there is never any mention of him being alive or cancer. It makes me happy to see him.
It was a the 20 yr anniversary of a family friend last week who died in his early 20's in an accident whilst on holiday abroad. A few days after he died I dreamed I saw him in a car park. He came over to talk to me and said 'Please do me a favor, go and see my Mum and tell her I didn't mean to die'. I never did cause I thought it would be too upsetting at the time. It's far too late now, I really wish I had though, I do regret it.

They were very happily received. I had a grand birthday with the majority of my family. We (husband, myself, two sons and their wives, and one grandson) all went down and took my Mother out for Christmas Dinner. Her favorite restaurant had a buffet with limited seating and reservations required. It reminded me of an SCA feast, you know, us and about 50 of our closest family members and complete strangers. :) It was a great meal and by the time it was over we were all friends anyway. Just like the SCA! I can't wait for our next populace meeting; I still need an SCA fix!

What is a Ketogenic Diet? Best Ketogenic Diet Recipes!
People that have practiced this diet say that it is one of the most efficient, painless and least demanding diets.
But what exactly is a ketogenic diet?
It is a diet that is based on the higher intake of fat and proteins combined with less intake of carbs (some of the best ketogenic diet recipes suggest zero carbohydrates).
Ketogenic diet changes the metabolism of your body and it is very effective for weight loss. This diet also reduces the risk of developing cardiac disease if you consume mono-unsaturated or poly-unsaturated fat instead of saturated or trans-fat.
With the use of ketogenic diet after just two days your body will enter a state of ketosis. In this state your body starts to burn fat really fast. This effect is caused because fat becomes the primary source of energy replacing carbohydrates.
Because of the fast fat burning, fat deposits are also rapidly disappearing giving you the wanted effect.
What can you eat if you are practicing this type of diet? It's very easy to stick to this diet because it requires some basic food like – eggs, all types of meat (meat should not be fried), fish (tuna, salmon), vegetables (highly recommended, all types of salads) etc.
Using bread is prohibited.
It is highly recommended to take a break after 4 weeks of practicing of ketogenic diet. You can stop it even before one month has passed if you have accomplished the desired goal, but if you want to get more results take a two week break after a month.
Ketogenic Diet is very popular among bodybuilders because losing fat is extremely important for them and thanks to this diet they can lose fat very fast and keep the levels of proteins in their body high.
People that use ketogenic diet witness that they don't feel hunger and eat whenever they want to. They don't notice any unusual reactions in their metabolism (strong pain, dizziness etc.).
The most important thing, just as important as starting any other diet, is to be persistent.
The first days could be a little bit harder (the period when the body enters the ketosis state) but after that it's much easier. In order to measure your success with this diet it's better to measure your waist and not your weight.
This is the best way to see how successful is your diet because you are primarily fighting fat.
Example of Ketogenic Diet Recipe
There are many ketogenic diet recipes available if you choose this diet. Here is one good example of a good ketogenic lunch.
Braised Liver with vegetables:
- Remove 2,2 lbs of liver from the heart and of excess fat, chop and toss it in a platter with chopped garlic and onions.
- Add 1 cup of water (you can also add half cup of wine too just to add some aroma), add some spices (pepper, salt, paprika etc.) and keep it on light heat for 45 minutes. Mix and add water occasionally.
- In the last 15 minutes add a little bit more water and 1 pound sauerkraut.
- Enjoy your meal.

Drama and Performance Studies
Stagecraft for Nonprofessionals
Second UW Press Edition
F. A. Buerki
The teaching of dramatic arts in secondary schools and college is in a measure responsible for the development of a new nonprofessional theatre. To students and faculties in high schools and colleges and to community leaders who are interested in this new nonprofessional theatre this book is offered with the hope that it may aid in the solution of production problems and stimulate a new and greater interest in stagecraft.
For those amateurs who are interested in building, painting, and lighting scenery for schools and little theatres, simple, practical information is not readily available. This book endeavors to present a simple, concise, yet technical discussion of stagecraft. Many of the suggestions made may not correspond to professional methods and practices. They are made for reasons of economy and simplicity and, it is hoped, in the best interest of the nonprofessional stage craftsman.
This title was also copublished in London.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Bequia - Villa Santa Maria
A 3 bedroom villa which looks across the Atlantic Ocean
Built on two levels, Villa Santa Maria nestles among an array of tropical shrubs in rural Spring Bay. Its location,which looks onto the Atlantic Ocean, offers one of the best spots from which to witness sunrise and the uninhabited islands of Battowia and Baliceaux. The latter plays host to an annual pilgrimage in honour of the Garifuna people who were exiled there in 1797. These features, together with the gently swinging palm and coconut trees adorning Spring Bay provide the perfect setting for a very peaceful and relaxing holiday.
A 10- minute drive takes you to banking and other facilities in the main town (Port Elizabeth) and the delights of the many bars and restaurants (local and international) bordering Admiralty Bay.
There are 3 double bedrooms on the top level. Each is fully air-conditioned and each has an en-suite. Therefore six adults can be comfortably accommodated. Bedroom 1 (the master bedroom) also has a bath tub. The third bedroom has two single beds.
The lounge which is decorated to a very high standard, and which has large and modern sofas opens onto a veranda which overlooks Spring Bay. Three minutes and you could be enjoying a stroll on that beach.
There is a 32' flat screen television connected to the cable network.
There is internet access.
The kitchen is on the first level and is well equipped with, among others
a gas cooker with oven and grill
fridge freezer with ice-making facilities
water filters

We are interested in the mechanisms by which endocrine and developmental factors regulate TSH synthesis at both pre-translational and post-translational levels. Thyroid hormone profoundly decreases transcription of the TSH beta gene, while TRH and agents modifying cyclic AMP increase transcription. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects, human embryonal kidney cells were transfected with constructs of the human TSH-beta gene fused to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene. The first exon of human TSH-beta contains an element that increases basal expression and mediates T3-induced gene repression, probably through a direct interaction with c-erbA beta. In contrast, TRH and agents modifying cyclic AMP mediate increased transcription of TSH-beta through interacting with upstream regulatory elements. Thyroid hormone, TRH and developmental factors also regulate the branching pattern and relative sialylation of TSH carbohydrate chains, which may affect TSH action in vitro and in vivo.

Bill Weir Attacking Me to Get Noticed' by John Nolte 26 Apr 2014 post a comment In an exclusive to Breitbart News, Fox News chief Roger Ailes shot back at CNN after the low-rated network interviewed Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and tried to mock Fox for "abandoning" him. CNN anchor Bill Weir, a new hire at the third-place network, said to Bundy, "How does it feel to be abandoned by your friends on Fox? I mean, the only reason we could get you on tonight is that, I'm guessing, they didn't call." When asked for comment, Ailes referred to Weir as "Bill Weird" and said Weir "is attacking me to get noticed." Ailes added, "It's a cheesy start for a mediocre talent." -- I spoke to Roger Ailes about @BillWeirCNN "Bill Weird is attacking me to get noticed.
