Applebee

A refused to leave a tip for religious reasons. The waitress asked if Jesus reasons will pay the bills

I was a waitress in a restaurant Applebee St. Louis. I was fired Wednesday Reddit.com post a photo of a client note left on a bill. I posted on the web as a friendly banter.

It's not even get into my table. The note was left by another server, which allowed me to take a picture of it at the end of the night.

Someone had scribbled on the receipt: "I give God 10%. Why you're 18? "

suppose the client's signature was illegible, but quickly began to receive messages containing links and websites Facebook profile, asking me to confirm the identity of the client. I refused to confirm any of them, and they are all correct.

've worked with Reddit moderators delete any personal information. I wanted to protect the identity of my friend and client-server. I had no intention of launching a witch hunt or injure someone.

Now, I was fired.

The person who wrote the note came across an article on the subject, called the location of Applebee's, and asked all parted - me, the boy allowed me to take photo, Acting Director of the time, the manager was not on duty at the time, everyone. It seems that was not fired because Applebee has been distorted, not because I did something illegal or against company policy, but because I am ashamed of this person.

Given the situation, I would make a statement on behalf of the wait staff everywhere: We $ 3.50 an hour. Most of my paychecks are smaller than pocket change because I have to pay taxes on the advice that I do.

After sharing my advice with the animators, waiters, helpers and servers who earn less than $ 9 per hour on average, before taxes. I'm supposed to go to the bathroom when we are busy. I'm hungry all day if I have to work several tables occupied. I'm supposed to work until 1:30 am and then come back at 10:30 to open the restaurant.

need advice to pay my bills. All bartenders do. We spent an hour or more of our friendship time with you, making people laugh, get to know you and make your dining experience the best it can be. We work hard. We care. We deserve to be paid for it.

'm defending all that work for just a few dollars per hour in places like Applebee. Whether it's a chain steakhouse or institution black tie, tipping is not an option. This is how they are paid.
