Is This What Jesus Would Do?
25 Answers
This behaviour seems more than a little unchristian - especially from someone sufficiently proud of their piety to mention the tithe they paid to God!

Vindictive too, it would seem. Their original actions and subsequent vindictiveness in seeking the dismissal of the staff member, seem seriously at odds with someone devout enough and self righteous enough to mention the fact that they tithe to god!

It's interesting to note that the bill has a printed tip of 18%, plus a space for an additional tip as well. Out American cousins certainly seem to do things in a very odd way!
With regard to 'un-Christian' attitudes of those who believe, I spent 2½ years 'trade plating' which required me to hitch around 2000 lifts during that period. Some groups of people (such as Irish traveller families) ALWAYS stopped for me, frequently going out of their way to help me and offering me both food and drink. However not a single one of the hundreds of people wearing dog collars who passed me ever offered me a lift!

Chris, most restaurants levy a fixed tip when the table is more than 4 to 6 customers. The printed 18% was probably for that purpose with the additional space for a tip that would go directly to the wait 'person". Most wait people have to share their tips with the cooks, bussers and maybe the dish washers. Not so, usually at smaller cafes. Applebees, while a fair sized chain isn't one of the major ones here in the U.S. (Generally good food, however). (Standing joke is to into Applebees and ask what ever became of Apple "A's")...
No, Do you know the secret? Would you like to hear it?— It is the secret of happiness.
Now, here is the secret. Jesus said: “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.” So, the one who is most happy is not the person who gets things, but the one who gives to other people.—Acts 20:35.
And that why there are a lot of people who are not happy.

All rather over the top.
The necessary tip thing is more to do with IMO a piss poor outlook on the relationship between employer and employee in the USoA. No one should abuse folks in need by not paying a decent wage for the job simply because they can, and expecting the charity of customers to make up the difference.
The written query is not that big a thing. It's a simple query as to why they should be expected to tip a waitress a larger amount than they even contribute to their church.
The posting of the note was always going to be a risk but ought not be that big a deal. But we are well aware that bringing one's employer's business into disrepute may have serious consequences. The employer ought to have been more charitable though and supported their employee, giving a verbal warning instead.
The outrage from the customer, as described in the article, is way out of proportion, and probably was requested whist in the initial rage of seeing the query exposed to the world. One would hope after calming down the same demands would no longer be desired.
I don't think something demanded in the heat of the moment ought necessarily be used as a reflection on their general attitude. One might think it could reflect their usual personality, but one has but a single incident to judge from.
