Applebee's recently fired an employee for posting a picture of a receipt that a pastor had written a note on complaining about the auto-tip. The pastor complained to the franchise manager, and the employee was let go. The pastor claimed that the attention the picture received "ruined" her reputation.
Waiting tables can be rough, especially if some cheapskate stiffs you on a hard-earned tip. A server recently found herself in such a situation after a man claiming to be a pastor refused a gratuity because he already "gave to God." Hey, whatever happened to acts of charity?
