In the original article the woman who stiffed the waitress said that she felt bad and apologized and etc, but then goes and demands the woman be fired. It seems to me if this pastor was so remorseful for what she did, she wouldn’t have pursued the firing of the waitress. What I find is the worst of it all is the pastor is suppose to be a person to be looked up to by their religious community and to show people how to follow in god’s path by being an example. Clearly turning the other check was not in this pastor’s mind and she just wanted revenge.

No, the waitress shouldn’t have posted a photo of the receipt.. WITH the signature. However, I think if she had done it without the signature or any other identifying information, it would have been fine. And that “pastor” deserved it!!

When I worked for a large chain of restaurants, we were not given a “privacy policy” notice. No one told us that our customers’ choices were private. Perhaps this girl didn’t know she was violating some “privacy policy” everyone is speaking of. I think it is a First Amendment right to call someone out when they have acted inappropriately. This “Christian” acted inappropriately. She was not serving Christ when she was rude and then had someone fired. I don’t think Jesus would have had her fired. In a nutshell: my opinion is that if you are ballsy enough to be rude in writing where the rudeness can be seen and proven, then you should be called out on it.

Chelsea went after a laugh, Bell went after
A juggler, and they both lost a pound
Of flesh.
But Bell, a poor excuse for a pastor (donating
A mere 10% to God), could have avoided her
Stingy $.02 cent pompos comment and left
No comment at all. And who prefaces their
Name with “Pastor” anyway? You’re not a doctor.
So the bad, and cheap, pastor felt the need
To leave a little explanation and even be
Audacious enough to blame it on God.
Clue: when you’re not a tipper, you don’t need
To put in any other reason but that you’re
Cheap.
Shame on Bell.

Well, as typos go, it was sort of fitting. LOL.

I figure a good rule is that if something you do has the potential to be embarrassing or reputation-ruining if news of it gets out, don’t do it. Be a good person (especially because you’re a freakin’ pastor. Shouldn’t you be trying to set an example of how a good Christian behaves?) and things will go a lot better for you. This pastor deserves all the humiliation she received.
