Tipping your Waiters or Waitresses as Christians?

[Guest Butero]

Two of my three daughters were servers. In the restaurants they worked at, the other servers would try to pick out the Christians and purposely try to not have them sit in their section. The reason was that Christians were notoriously terrible tippers. Sometimes they would leave $5 and a tract for a $75 meal. So, the moral of this account is if you don't want to tip correctly please don't identify yourself as a Christian--don't leave a tract and don't pray for your meal!! 

This Christian would have left at least a $12 tip for a meal of that size.  If the service was good, it would be more.  Stereotyping isn't a sure way of knowing who will leave a good tip?  There are a lot of my fellow truckers that leave terrible tips, but I don't.  You could make the same decision and avoid my table, and someone else will get the big tip.

Butero,

 Brother interestingly enough my dad was a short and long haul trucker for many many years....

it was nothin for these guys to leave a $40-$50 tip for their waitress, by the time the entire table had ponied up the tip..many of their wives  were waitess's....my mother was one at one time...and if their wives weren't then their daughters were, i was....even when it was just 2 or 3 of them, they tipped very well.

occassionaly they were cash poor and couldn't but the next trip they would make up for it.....

 i would bring my tips home and put em in the freezer, daddy would lol at me and call it my cold cabbage..lol

you can't always judge a book by it's cover.

 i still have a soft spot in my heart for truckers.....and a great deal of respect....

I am glad to hear that, but I know fellow drivers that have been leaving a quarter tip since the 70s.  They told me that is how much they tip.  I agree that you can't judge a book by it's cover.  Just because some Christians don't tip well, that doesn't mean none do, and just because some truckers don't tip well, that doesn't mean others don't.  I have been driving for almost 20 years, both long and short haul.  I currently drive long haul.
