First of all, your nice and caring waiter\/waitress makes most of their income by tips and no by their low hourly pay. Second, they are working their tails off so that you can go somewhere and eat without working hard. Most of all, tipping is a direct reflection on you. If you are a bad tipper you give a bad impression on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Yourself<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Employer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Family<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">God<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">You misrepresent all of these if you are stingy with your tips. I know people who work in the industry that say that church people are the worst tippers. Shouldn&#8217;t it be the other way around.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><b><i>DO Be a Generous Tipper<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Go over the top, don&#8217;t just tip nothing or a buck. But also, don&#8217;t tip out of some misguided obligation. We should want to be generous. Think of a tip as saying &#8220;thank you&#8221; when you get your check. So next time you get your check, say &#8220;I appreciate you for working you butt off so I can sit here and enjoy a wonderful meal.&#8221; That&#8217;s how we show the love of Christ and how we lead people to see we are good people.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Give more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few days back I came across\u00a0this post\u00a0on Reddit.
