Tipping your waiter for good service.

[Nobar King]

Most people know I'm a good tipper. I know how hard it is to struggle and work a job with no reward, so I like to give a little extra to help out my servers.

Unfortunately, like everyone, I have been confronted with poor service more often than I like. I don't like to be a cheapskate and not leave a tip, although sometimes the desire is irresistible.

Here is a good suggestion for a way to give your 'server' a message about her poor service and make a tithe to God's favorite church at the same time:

Why tip 20% for slow service? Afraid of appearing cheap or confrontational? TurtleTip.com to the rescue! We'll send you a tiny packet of TurtleTip stickers for your wallet. Next time you leave a smaller tip, also leave a TurtleTip.com sticker on the bill, letting the server know the remainder of their tip is going to charity. Each sticker includes a printed explanation to the server why he's not getting a generous tip. Use your credit card size TurtleTip sticker packet (TurtlePack) to easily keep track of the difference between a generous tip and what you actually left.

Once you're out of stickers, return to TurtleTip.com to donate the difference from all those tips to a worthy charity. We'll send you another packet of FREE TurtleTip stickers. Each TurtlePack comes with a dozen stickers and a "tip tracker." We also include a few happy turtle stickers for the great servers!

TurtleTip will set up a unique account for LBC so you can order tip cards that tell your server that their tip is going to be donated to the Landover Baptist Church. You will truly be doing the lord's work by supporting your church and spreading the name of Jesus.

I consider tipping a waitress to be the same thing as giving cash to a panhandler. She's just going to spend it on booze and drugs. I've heard testimony from now-saved former food-service employees, and I know how they like to "party".

Whenever I dine out, I always leave three Chick Tracts in lieu of a monetary tip -- one for the waitress, one for the busboy, and one for the cook.

As a good Christian cash gratuities are out of the question for me. I would never degrade a fellow human being by making them dependent on handouts. Instead I leave a business card with the URL for the Landover On Line Bible with commentary and Apologetics. Teach them to fish and they never need to grovel for money again.

What? You are supposed to tip food servers?

Don't they get paid from the restaurant they work for?

Good LORD, everyone always has their hand out don't they.

A new ethnic restaurant opened in Killington so a bunch of us went for dinner last night. I was adventurous and tried chop suey but did not like it at all and sent it back. When I asked for something American, the chink waiter copped an attitude with me and mumbled something that I considered anatomically insulting.

The guy I was with was about to deck the little slant but I convinced him to let me leave a turtle instead. 20% of our tab (there were eight of us) went to LBC instead of an illegal immigrant.

Be careful, Sister! There's no telling what might be in that white sauce!

Yes Sister T, my thoughs exactly!

You don't expect to walk into a Bank and withdraw money, and have the cashier ask for a hand-out - so why should we give extra money to these servers? After all they are getting paid already from the restrauraunt that empolys them. What are they? Bums? Do they want paid TWICE for the SAME JOB?

These people are probably fraudulently claiming welfare too, getting a THIRD wage for nothing. It seems to me that they are nothing but greedy money-grubbing human trash.

Not only that, you know that they are not declaring the tips you give them on their income tax. I'd rather donate to the presidential election fund.

I like this TurtleTip idea. I'd hand out the stickers instead of tipping the staff. Could this be considered another way to tithe, as your would be tip is going to charity?

As long as you set it up so that the money goes to Landover Baptist Church

Duly noted.

Re: Tipping your waiter for good service.

I contacted Turtle Tip, and they were agreeable to printing special stickers for us that indicate that your tip is going to support LBC and the word of Jesus.

You are responsible for remembering how much money you saved up and then tithe it to the church.

Wait staff are paid less than minimum wage because they are expected to earn a certain percentage of their income from tips.

Re: Tipping your waiter for good service.

Not in Godless San Francisco. Waiters get minimum wage there (over 9$/hr) plus tips. That's more than the teachers in your school system make.

Re: Tipping your waiter for good service.

As a tip, I always leave the wait staff little booklets about JESUS in lieu of cash.

And for some reason, they just get ruder and ruder! I think every one of them must be un$avED and proud of it
