Save money AND your waitress! Tip with a tract!
 
As we know, waitresses are money-grubbing lazy socialists who earn a paycheck for the simple task of writing down your order and bringing you your food, and they didn't even cook it, then they expect you to give them even more money beyond the cost of your meal!

Well, there is a way to save money while eating out and give those waitresses the best tip they will ever receive... BIBLE TRACTS!

Some great examples are the ones you can get from Bible Truth Publishers.

This is my favorite one they sell.

Quote:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and considerate service today. Our God thoughtfully considers us in this essential way: “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” What an ugly picture! But God also says, “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.” He expresses Himself with words—“I have loved thee with an everlasting love” —and actions—“When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” But if we reject His thoughtful love, we have no escape from His judgment of our sin. If you have not already done so, receive Him as Saviour today. “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Genesis 6:5; Jeremiah 29:11; 31:3; Romans 5:6; 2 Corinthians 6:2
However, these aren't as eye-catching as the best tip tracts ever. Instead of a pretty picture, why not leave a tract that looks like money?

Not only will the waitress appreciate the message of salvation, she will also appreciate the humor!

That right there is the real test as to whether or not a waitress happens to be Godly (rare indeed!) or not -- whether she will appreciate her lack of a tip for the Message of Jesus. Materialistic women are everywhere, but those relatively few out there who are Christian will be more than willing to work their fingers to the bone for nothing but the humble reward of salvation.

Whenever some stupid waiter asks me for a tip I always say, "get a better job." They don't like to hear it because it's true.

The waitresses may not be too happy when they get a tract like that, but they'll thank you once you run into them again in Heaven.

Re: Save money AND your waitress! Tip with a tract!
 
I've never understood why I should tip a waitress 15%, when I only tithe 10% to Jesus.

It wasn't the waitress who died temporarily for my sins.

Tracts should never be used for a tip! It only makes True Christians look bad.

If you don't like to tip workers, then don't go out to eat.

I agree, I mean, if the waitress did a good job or waiter in fact- tip 'em, it only helps and is a kind act!

Pointing out to someone vociferously what a hell-bound abomination they are unto The Lord and leading them to Salvation is the kindest act of all. :innocent:

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Acts 10:42 - And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead.

If you don't like to tip workers, then don't go out to eat.

If you don't want to be paid $2 per hour you should work a real job, even one at McDonalds pays better.

When your employer (who probably sees you more than your parents and thus knows you better) pays you $2, he does so because he knows you are pretty much worthless as a person, then why should I pay more?

If God wanted servers to become rich from their unskilled and untrained job for which there are infinite people who would replace you, then He would make sure they had a good salary. Instead I know God rewards people for their faith: Proverbs 10:22, see also the verses that tell The Lord is the one who made Job rich after he withstood the tests of his faith and those that relate how king Solomon was made astronomically rich by God. Myself I am faithful to Jesus, and that's why my time is worth $375 per hour as a legal consultant, and not $2 as a table monkey.

<She will> appreciate the message of salvation, she will also appreciate the humor!

'Tis a righteous idea if used in the right place
but had you seen the look on that dancer's face
When I tipped with a tract in her Garter belt strap
and followed it up with a disciplinary backside slap
I told her to change her ways or the Lord would denounce her
but I soon found myself gettin' trounced by the bouncer
So, learn this lesson from a true tract tipper
Don't waste your time tryin' ta reform a stripper!

So you are rewarding people who are too stupid, too lazy and too slutty to get a real job by giving them free money? I am shocked! I never ever tipped in my entire life. If they want more money they should get better jobs!

My father says waitressing is too much like being a woman of ill repute.

I have to agree with him. After all, I can wait on my father and mother until such time as a husbandman is sent by the Lord; then I can meet his every need while serving Jesus at the same time.

And, may I say, when one is serving Jesus, the tip is far more rewarding!

Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

It used to be that everyone paid with cash, or maybe a check, for anything, everywhere. However, we now reside in the credit and debit card era and are heading for mobile payments, but one should always make an effort to *** removed spam link *** with cash wherever possible. Being waiter is not an easy job.

So you can cut & paste from a website - good for you! Now how about heading over to the Introduction Forum and telling us about yourself?

Write a verse from the bible down and give it to them and when they say thank you, Smile and say if you liked the tip ill give you the whole thing later.

Make sure the verse is something about rotting in hell because she is a sinner.

I only take my family to a meat and three type restaurants that are closed on the Sabbath. Usually the kids eat free (or indulge on Captain's Wafers), we only drink water, and I leave last Sunday's bulletin. :thumbsup:

It is a classic win-win-win result:
- I win- My tip (calculated less taxes and contingent on an uninterrupted supply of crackers of course) is minimal but still gratuitous.
- The waitress (or a closet homer if male) wins- still gets a tip and a bulletin full of Godly inspiration.
- God wins!- Most importantly, I expose someone else to eternal salvation and enable them to generously tithe.

Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
