“Sitting in church makes me as Christlike as standing in my garage makes me a car”. As you have done, we need to call out these behaviours in order to change individually and collectively as members of the Church.
As a Christian, this reminds me of the time when I worked in a public library on Sunday afternoons. Sadly, some of the rudest people were the ones still wearing their "Sunday best." Thank you for this reminder!
I've worked the Sunday lunch crowd. It's brutal! Have them push four tables together, wait on twenty five people, all the kids ate free, extra toast, more coffee, refill this, reheat that, this isn't good enough, etc., etc., Then they tip a SINGLE DOLLAR! There was NOTHING wrong with ANYONE'S order! And they tipped a lousy dollar! And this was in a state that paid servers $02.12 dollars per hour because you are supposed to make the rest up IN TIPS!!! This was thirty years ago, but it still ticks me off. Give me a table of truckers any day over a bunch of church people! Truckers are more polite, more considerate, and tip better.
I still can't believe there are places they're allowed to do this! Pay LESS than minimum wage? Wtf. I was well into adulthood before I even know that was a thing because, thankfully, it isn't where I live. I understand the reasoning, it's just that reasoning like that makes them politicians a$sh0les., that's all.
Church crowd also… we must travel in packs of 12-20 because we didn’t “fellowship enough” at the church so we plan to do that after at a restaurant where it’s super loud and busy and expensive. We don’t listen, we don’t acknowledge and we don’t have any grace for the person who is serving us (a “ large party” ) where you take up more of the server’s time for everything refills, condiments, to go boxes and especially the separate checks. We aren’t pleased with where we sat we wanted the patio, we need extra everything and use none of it and will leave you a “ tip card” praising the Lord and asking if you know Jesus? Every server has a story about you and it’s 90% not favorable.
Well it sounds like typical good Christians. You know the kind, the ones that tells you Jesus loves you while they're stapping you in the back by talking about you. You know the kind. Like not tithing, but they've got a 50,000$ bass boat. Or the deacon trying to get down your wife's pants after firing the preacher for adultery. God bless their little souls. Because only He has that kind of love for sinners, even those in his church.
I worked at Walmart, and the Sunday crowd was the worst. They were the rudest group of the week. If you as Christians are going out shopping or out to eat on Sunday, treat these workers with respect.
I won't go anywhere near restaurants when it's time for the church crowd to let out. I'm not even working there but it's difficult to get in and get a seat and those people are some of the most entitled, rudest, obnoxious people that I have ever encountered in my life. One of them actually barged up to the table me and my friend were at one time and demanded that we hurry up and leave so they could have the table because they had been waiting long enough. Why they picked us I don't know but I told her where she could go and how fast she could go there. The management had to remove her screaming and cussing her head off the whole way while in her Sunday best with a damned bible in one hand and a purse in the other.
I live in the "Bible Belt" and I go for breakfast and grocery store Sunday mornings. The Christers are all busy, and I get cleared out before they invade the restaurants and stores.
@@erniea4424 My family wants me to move back to the bible belt after being in Colorado for the past 28 years. Now that I know it's still that way, I don't know if I can do it. And when I factor in all the tornadoes, lol, I think my answer might be NOPE! 😂
@@lisaobrien4898 - I fled moonbat infested Vermont after 60+ years. I'm really loving eastern Kentucky. The bible-thumpers are 1,000 times easier to deal with than moonbats.
I have walked out on several dates simply because of how the other person treated the staff. I seriously don't give a damn if you think you're a 10, you treating another human being like trash instantly makes you a 0.
I don't care when it is, always be nice to your server. The only exception to this is if they're being terrible to you, then you can ask them outright why. And it is not just the server, it is any employee worker that you come in contact with. Here in the desert, we have a custom of always offering complete strangers a bottle of cold water whenever you come in contact with them.
If your going to church for the people your going to church for the wrong reasons you go to church to worship the Lord our God not the sinners sitting in the church.
Serving and managing in restaurants was what I did for many years. I worked countless Sunday brunches and I approve this message. My favorite excuse for them not to tip more than 10% of the bill was “servers don’t deserve more than I give the Lord”. Well, servers don’t deserve 10% of all your income or “first fruits”, but if you want to show your appreciation for their service you can at least tip 20% of your bill.
I quit tipping when ya’all started demanding a tip I used to always tip 30-40% now I tip 0% no matter how good the service is a few bad servers ruined it for all you servers. Never again will I tip
Tipping isn’t about how good the service is, it is about how much you appreciate the service and that’s what you show with your tip. Servers only make 2.13 an hour where I live, so by not tipping you would be costing someone time and hard work and no appreciation. It really shows how good you are, not your server, by not tipping. I couldn’t care less if you tip your barista that makes 15 an hour or anywhere in any state that has servers receiving at least minimum wage.
In the 60’s while in high school, I worked at a Sizzler Steak House. On Sunday’s we had a lot of church crowd people come in and although I was never yelled at, the woman’s bathroom was always trashed on that day and no other day. The men’s was always fine. ???
The church crowd from my hometown was always very nice. Once I moved to Atlanta is when I started experiencing the after church crowd bring not so nice
I realized when I was a hostess at a restaurant working Sunday brunch that many were just hangry from sitting in church all morning. Mean walking in, as nice as could walking out.
I worked at a beautiful restaurant, that had a back room option that served smaller portions, appetizers and drinks, during the week. It sat on the water and it was very popular. On Sundays, we did "Brunch" and it was buffet style, yet people could request small extra things. We worked out backsides off to serve those people, kept the areas clean, the food was always hot and delicious and we did it with smiles. The worst group I ever had? 24 Church going folks, who decided last minute to come to brunch. We have a sign that CLEARLY states if you are not seated by 11:45, we will not refresh the buffet. Yes, we have refreshed the buffet at 11:44, no problem. We have to transition from Buffet, starting at noon, to Sunday lunch and dinner at 1:00. It was very quick turnaround, to include removing all the buffet tables and items, setting up chair and tables, cleaning and reset. It was 11:48 and we had hung the buffet closed sign out front (People know to just ask if they still want to sit but no refresh of the food) and on the podium and these people were losing their cool with our hostess and then our manager. I cannot tell you the number of times we have discounted brunch or given away free food at the end, because the owners were really good people. There was enough food on the line for them but they wanted FRESH. My manager refused and do you now these people were cursing her up and down, the wrote a letter to the newspaper (Angry Karen style- 1990's) and the leader of the group came back on Monday and started getting into everyone there. My manager told them not to ever come back and have a nice day.
You are right - we are not to judge those who are not IN the body. But we are also to hold one another accountable as fellow believers, and that is just what you are doing. Holding the body accountable to their testimony as a Christian.
I was part of the same church for 18+ yrs. I hit a rough patch and stopped going for a bit. Not one member has EVER contacted me to see how I was doing. When I stopped mailing my check. I no longer got a newsletter, birthday card or postcard notice of my deacon. Those 18+ yrs to build a meaningful personal relationships with the members were a complete waste of my time. God is the only one who stayed with me. My Grandfather was right. As long as I got God. I don't need to attend church with a bunch of christian hypocrites.
I'm so sorry that happened. I've had similar experiences, but also some great ones. I'm grateful you haven't given up on God, but don't give up on the body, either. ❤
This along with so many other things is why I stopped going to church. They gossip, look down on what people ware, where they work, and treat other kids with contempt. Then as you said, go to restaurants and if it is not perfection, they get riled up and may even cause a scene. And yes, I am not perfect, but we are to treat people with the love of God. Respect everyone and they, hopefully, will respect you back. What was the saying a few years ago…What Would Jesus Do? Maybe we need to remind people of that again.
Well, then there's my favorite way of putting this in Context for them, and I'd be willing to do a phone call, zoom meeting, or other options, And "have a coming to Jesus moment" with them. LoL. I'm just trying to be funny about this, but my offer is actually an offer for any one. I will be polite, I won't be spicy or sassy or rude, to the best of my ability. Usually after a conversation with me, unruly people are standing up straight and minding their manners... Hence my name...
I highly recommend visiting a new church where you don't know anyone and you'll see how many hundreds of people in attendance will refuse to say hello or even sit near you as a visitor, then youll see how the church really treats outsiders.
My grandmother was a Christian Scientist. Her favorite thing to do is to go with family, visiting from out of state, to the local Village Inn for Sunday brunch. She would visit each table complimenting the folks there, just chatting. My grandmother was overweight and had difficulty walking, needed canes. Every table she visited she left them with the ‘feel goods.’ She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Miss her dearly ❤❤
Years ago I worked in a restaurant. No one wanted to work on Sunday or Wednesday night because of the nasty attitudes of the after church crowd. Rude, messy and cheap. The Wednesday night youth groups were the worst. Trashed the back dining room, which they demanded to have to themselves, and thought it was funny to tip 10 cents. Terrible representation of people supposedly living like Christ.
Can we talk about "Church people tips"? That...and the ever present holier than thou, attitude, is another reason servers hate to see them walk through the door. Not all church people...but the great majority. Sad but true.
I'm recently going back to church and stuff like that but I will say, some of these church people like to talk about other people behind their back, from what they wearing, how they look, or how they carry themselves and I'm pretty sure nothing in the Bible mentions that as acceptable behavior.
To me it's unconscionable. As a man of God it's up to me to extend mercy and grace everywhere I go. It's up to me to be generous, thoughtful, kind and maybe make up for a bad crowd. In a restaurant once I walked past a group of guys and found out they had been rude to her. I gave her as generous a tip as I could, as well as support her emotionally. Perhaps you are right, calling them Church People, because maybe that's all they are. I have been doing this before I heard Dave Ramsey talk about it. Wish you and all service workers blessings.
I chose to work Sundays at the hospital. That was my way to serve. That was my explanation for all the judgy ones. And I avoid restaurants at peak church times because of crowds like those.
I’ve been berated because I was working and obviously didn’t go to church. I’m not Catholic, but at that moment I pulled a what about 8am Mass? I think they do this to feel justified for not giving us more than they would give the lord. That was actually said to me.
I worked retail and we opened on Sunday at 9:00 and from 9 to 12 it was pretty peaceful, but we all dreaded the crowd after 12. They all acted like snobs looking down their nose at us. I had a preacher come in and we couldn’t get his order to go through so it was taking a few minutes to figure out why, he was huffing and puffing and then he said do you know who I am I’m preacher so and so and I don’t have time for this. His poor wife was so embarrass. The problem was his we found out after he stormed off, he gave a wrong phone number to the person he ordered from so when we were looking it up we couldn’t find it. So to all church people and I say church people because apparently you’re not Christian because Christian means Christ like and you sure don’t act it. Religion sucks but a relationship with Jesus Christ is awesome.
Retail worker here. She's 100% correct about the Sunday church crowd. So many act as though they are Christ themselves. They are "fresh from church and feeling judgemental". I've been talked down to, screamed at, berated and called all sorts of vile names by so called Christians. I've been told that I need to " Get Jesus" because I am nothing but a lowly retail worker. I can see these people coming from a mile away, and I always avoid them like the plague.
These are the same people that shame others for not going to church and working on the Sabbath. I always wanted to say, "If you stopped eating out and shopping on Sunday we could have the day off."
I'm a Christian and was a server for years. The worst people to wait on were French and Church people. I actually spoke to one minister about how hypocritical and awful his people were. I told him they actually turned people AWAY from Christ. It was the Wednesday night after church crowd. I literally paid to wait on them and had to stay an extra hour for them. They didn't hardly tip and my tip out was more than they left me. The COST me money. I spoke about it at my church and they all were wonderful to wait on.
THANK YOU! Little story: When I was in college (back in the early 1990’s) I worked at a bagel bakery/sandwich shop. On Sundays, the line to order lunch would go out the door and wrap around on the sidewalk. We all worked as efficiently as humanly possible to get the orders done. One Sunday I lost my sh** with all of the complaining and people being rude in line, and telling us to hurry up, and, and, and. So, I yelled over the crowd and said, “Hey!😃 If you came here from church today, raise your hand😃” Most of the people there raised their hands. Then I said, “Ok! Wonderful!😃 Now, keep your hands up if your minister, preacher, pastor, or priest said at the end of service today, ‘Now go out and show God’s love to all you meet by being pushy, impatient, and berating the people trying to do things for you😃‘“ Hands went down. I then said, “We are all doing our very best to serve you. We thank you for your patience.” Of course, as it was a Sunday, the owner was there as well. I was fairly certain I would be fired, but I just got a “talking to.” And was told that if I ever pulled something like that again that I would, indeed, be fired. I was a camp counselor, which is why I felt comfortable talking to a large group of people like that.
I’m a grocery store cashier who always has to work Sunday and the worst customers are the church folk who are nicely dressed and have the nastiest attitude!
The church crowd ALL arrives within 15-20 minutes. I agree.. NOBODY should be mistreating service workers!! It’s a great point… we show God’s love through kindness and respect. I despise people that scream at service workers. I will get involved!!
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been making fellow Christians - friends and family alike - mad by saying this for probably 20 years. Be nice, tip well, ASSUME all mistakes were either a) accidents or b) NOT the server’s fault. Or, just eat at home … in Jesus’ name!
That was a beautiful message, as a fellow Christian I have to admit I don't hang out with fellow Christians much, why? because of their holier than thou attitudes not to mention their judgemental attitudes. God forbid you make a mistake and say or do anything wrong which is human nature, you will be talked to or worst talked about, I'v seen it with my own eyes.
Amen, amen, amen! My grandfather was a minister and I was raised going to church every Sunday. We referred to people who behave this way as “Pew Potatoes” because they clearly were not listening during the service. You don’t go to church every Sunday so that you can be UnChristian the rest of the week. I worked at a church in a large city and one Sunday a woman approached me during the service and asked me to make a homeless man move/leave because he smelled. I just looked at her and said, “Do you see where you are??” . Clueless!
45 years ago I attended a Baptist church and really enjoyed the pastor's sermons. One Sunday at the end of his sermon he said: " I'm going to give you today. But net week I want you to prepare a meal on Saturday for you to eat after church on Sunday instead of racing the Methodists down to the Western Sizzlin after church. Everytime you go out to eat or to shop after church you are causing somebody that could have been in church to have to work". Well, the Deacons got busy and fired him that week and shortly, he was replaced with another pastor. The church members never missed a Sunday of racing the Methodists to the Western Sizzlin.
Amen! And as Christians if we see other Christians acting like that we need to immediately say something. All my family and friends know you better be on your best behavior if you’re going out for a meal with me because I will call you out for rude behavior. I’m not allowing anybody to shame my religion and especially my God by their bad behavior. I have also been a server several times throughout my life
I worked at Honey Baked Ham (they used to be open on Sundays) and we were lucky enough to rarely have rude people. When we did, it was primarily parents with little kids or babies, they never even attempted to clean up after.
I used to wait tables on Sundays occasionally if they needed it, but I was shocked how mean those people were! I think it's like people have been holding in the whole time then let loose on the nearest stranger. Anyways, people always say don't judge, but they lack the context of the rest of the passage. So yeah, confronting professing Christians about being nasty to people is a really great thing. And maybe they don't actually believe and the need to hear the simple Gospel message of God's goodness, our wicked state that makes us guilty before God, and God Loving us and sending us a Savior (his son Jesus) to pay for our entire punishment and making us righteous if we believe in the work Jesus did by dying on the cross, being buried and raised from the grave on the third day. God is so good!
Where I work, usually my boss schedules me for Sunday since she knows that I prefer working Sundays so I can avoid being forced to go to church. It's crazy, but usually people are nice to us here, so I'm grateful for that. I'm a minimum wage worker though, not someone who survives off tips, so that's probably why it's a different experience for me.
If we expect to take off work on Sundays, why do we expect others to work for us? We should consider not going out to businesses as we take off from work ourselves.
This is universally understood in the service industry. 10+ years. We prepare ourselves to be treated lower than dirt, personally attacked, humiliated, worked like a dog, then robbed of your pay, and left those fucking pamphlets, and the absolute sickest part, is when you can see they enjoy it. You are personally turning people away from God and if you can even behave like that Christ ain't in you.
Wife and I went to this one church it was very nice. Than my job required me to work Sundays. My wife would get all these cutting remarks over why I wasn’t there. No these were not coming from the jeans wearing people. These came from the suit tie pant dresses. I would help vacuum the church on my off days. It’s a build people God’s church is in you.
This is so sad that this is happening. Thank you for sharing this for those that may be unaware but hopefully, willing to do better. Even if I receive poor service, I always tip at least 20% because I realize that the server may be new, running behind, or been dealing with some jerks or just having an off day. Waiting tables and working in a restaurant is typically tough. I feel it should be illegal for servers not to make a base of minimum wage but yes, TIP your servers, they deserve it and depend on it.
It would be really interesting if the pastor of their church would overhear these women when they treat others so poorly. Then, have the pastor walk over to the table and call them out for their bad behavior.
You can actually do that. The Pastor typically takes Monday off, and Tuesday is generally preparing for the midweek Wednesday service. Thursday is ideal. As the rude Sunday patrons what church they're from, look up their church website, and find out who it is. Prepare for the meeting by audio recording them on your cellphone (check your state laws on this first), and try to bring another waitress/busboy as a witness if you can. If it's a megachurch and the pastor is hard to book an appointment with, ask to speak with an assistant/associate pastor. Sunday sermons are generally posted on the church's website on or shortly afterwards, you can check the next few following Sundays to see if he addresses the issue. If not, go back. The pastor's wife also has his ear, and many of them worked as waitresses while in Bible College, and is personally aware of the problem.
Berating servers is unacceptable, especially after implying that you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. On a separate note, I cannot tell you the number of times I've been served cheese/ butter after asking for no cheese / butter and stating that I'm lactose intolerant
Mistakes happen especially when the server is extremely busy trying to do his/her best to remember all the outside of normal order requests. Please don’t take this as saying your request is unreasonable it is just one more thing for the person to remember when stressed. I am sure the restaurant would gladly remake your order or replace it with something else. No big deal.
1:24 that doesn’t sound like a Christian that sounds like a church attendee. Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” Too many people call themselves Christians but it doesn’t check out when you look at the resume.
This is so true. My mom worked at Shoney’s years ago and hated Sunday brunch/lunch. You wouldn’t believe the stories. One of the Shoney’s she worked in was in an affluent community and they would have church bus loads come in and some would sneak out without paying.
You are so beautiful .. I don’t see a ring on that finger.. Fellas this one is a keeper and a has a good heart.. And a good business manager with compassion.. Home run in every category.. The love train moving on ❤❤❤
Tip generously...after church and anytime you go out. Christians and teachers are notoriously terrible tippers. Especially if you are going to leave a bible tract. Truth be told, some of the best Christians i know have left the churches now...
Christians aren't even Christian enough for Christian situations. Our Sunday school session ended and a few of us stayed in the classroom to pray for a couple going through a very difficult time. We have about 20 minutes between one class ending and the second class beginning. During our prayer, an older woman walks in, stands by the door with her arms folded and starts tapping her toe. A couple other people follow her in. We had only been praying for a couple minutes and were in the process of wrapping up, since we are polite ( and because she was there, it easily could have lasted another couple minutes) and before we are done, she blurts out "OH FINALLY, THEY'RE FINISHING!" in the most condescending, berating tone I have heard in a long while. The entitlement of that woman and her classmates was ludacris. Not all church-goers are Christians, no matter how long they have been attending, or even if they have been baptized. Church attendance or baptism don't save you, only a change in your heart toward Christ, accepting He died for your sins to be forgiven, and subsequently, your actions also change, including understanding of our call to treat others with love, dignity, and respect. And only Christ knows the true state of your heart and relationship with Him.
This is so true! I worked at LJS when I was in high school, and I absolutely DREADED the church crowd! They were the rudest, most condescending people I’ve ever come across. It was hell working Sunday’s!
I have tears in my eyes watching this video. NO server should be treated like that by ANYONE! Being a server is difficult especially when it's busy and people constantly need something and even act like complete jerks. Anyone who works with the public knows how rough it is dealing with the public. When my husband and I go to restaurants we AVOID the church crowd times because it's just too busy. But when we so go to a restaurant, we are patient and kind. There are times when we prophesy to the server or give words of knowledge as Holy Spirit leads and we make SURE we tip very well. Sometimes I leave a note of encouragement. I am extremely upset about the condition of the Church and even sometimes extremely annoyed. This horrible behavior have to stop. 😡
We try to be a better example of ourselves daily. Love your neighbor as you wish to be loved. If you miss this part of the gospel, you missed the whole of godliness.
OMG. If I was with anyone from my church that acted like that I would be shamed. They may go to a Christian church but that doesn’t make them a Christian
Never forget “They that are sick need a physician”. What better place for mean nasty people to be? It’s my prayer God gets a hold of us all and changes us! I don’t avoid the gym because of fat people (I’m a little porky myself!) but that’s where I need to be! Where we miss the mark is forgetting who we are and whose we are!
I'm not sure about the comparison between an attitude, which you can help, vs being overweight. When's the last time someone's jelly rolls gave you the side glance and turned up nose, for being different? You don't uncomfortable around fat people, but the obnoxious saint they are talking about can definitely make you feel unwelcomed.
What’s wrong with closing your place of business for Sunday anyway, most of the time if you can’t make it from Monday thru Saturday , Sunday is probably not worth even being open, that way it gives a chance for all your employees to be at church and another way to hear the gospel.
Because you might not make an extra dollar. Lord knows that money is the most important thing to most of these types. Hobby Lobby is an example, the store is closed on Sunday but the driver that delivers the Chinese made trinkets has to work so that they have a store full for the "good Christians" to buy on Monday.
I do IT in the restaurant industry, and the stories I hear about the Sunday church crowd being the worst are embarrassing at best. It is people like this who do the most damage to Christianity and push people away from the Gospel. Why would they think it is acceptable to treat a human being, who is there to serve you just as Christ called you to serve, like they are less than human? The hypocrisy is stunning, and Satan is laughing with every incident like this. I completely understand why many are driven away from church and Christianity when this is the example they see on a regular basis. These people probably treat their pets better than they treat other humans outside those church doors, and that is unbelievably sad.
Maybe it's just a reflection of my work in the service industry, but I've always tried to make it a point to put service people in the best light. My friends tease me that someone has to deliberately go out of their way to be offensive for me to take offense. If there is a correction that needs to be made, I try to do it calmly, and in the moment. If anything, I've learned over the years that if I approach the service staff in a calm and kindly manner, they are generally prompt and eager to solve whatever problem I'm addressing. Even if it's just pointing out that the new barista mixed my smoothie in a container that had been used for peanut butter previously. They were already to make me a new one and I just stated that it had happened, and could be an issue for someone with an allergy.
There are problems in youth sports retaining officials..(referees, umpires) because the spectators have become a nightmare of rudeness and verbal attacks. I have a buddy that’s a full time Umpire. He says it’s gotten unbelievably bad. The very worst, he says, are the Church leagues
This has been happening for DECADES! I hope people listen to her and change, but until they grasp and wear Christ’s grace and humility, it’s not going to change.
Once when my brother was a server, he had a huge table of church folk to wait on. They were obnoxious and demanding and he figured that they wouldn’t tip him but as luck would have it, he had an extreme case of the silent but deadlies that day so let’s just say that he made their dining experience exceptionally memorable.
It's not just how they treat the servers it's how they treat eachother. I used to go out with a group of young people after church. I had a babysitting job so I paid for myself and I hated asking my parents for money. One of the girls asked if I was coming and I said no, I was out of cash. She coerced me to come, promising to pay for me. I oredered a single drink not wanting to put her out. She didn't pay for me and gave me a dirty look, everyone else refused to pay for me too so they just let the tip cover it but they all shamed me for it. I found out later that she had told her family that I tried to basically steal.....
These "church crowds" are the reason I quit going to church. They are all hypocrites. I have better conversations and closeness to Jesus while I'm alone in my car commuting to and from work. And I actually ready bible instead of going to a building to "be seen"
I prefer to go straight home after church. It’s much better to bring the crowd to somebody’s house and fellowship there. This is something that every “ church goer “ should do. It would be much better to take all of that business away from the local businesses.
There's such a difference between believer and church-goer.
“Sitting in church makes me as Christlike as standing in my garage makes me a car”. As you have done, we need to call out these behaviours in order to change individually and collectively as members of the Church.
You are so right.
AMEN!!
Church is just a show. People get dressed up and act holier than thou.
As a Christian, this reminds me of the time when I worked in a public library on Sunday afternoons. Sadly, some of the rudest people were the ones still wearing their "Sunday best." Thank you for this reminder!
I've worked the Sunday lunch crowd. It's brutal! Have them push four tables together, wait on twenty five people, all the kids ate free, extra toast, more coffee, refill this, reheat that, this isn't good enough, etc., etc.,
Then they tip a SINGLE DOLLAR! There was NOTHING wrong with ANYONE'S order! And they tipped a lousy dollar!
And this was in a state that paid servers $02.12 dollars per hour because you are supposed to make the rest up IN TIPS!!!
This was thirty years ago, but it still ticks me off.
Give me a table of truckers any day over a bunch of church people!
Truckers are more polite, more considerate, and tip better.
This is why we are called to judge within the church and be the example of Christ's love to the world.
And that is if they don’t tip with tracts instead.
@@ariaflame-au Tracts that look like money! 🤦♀️
That's terrible.
I still can't believe there are places they're allowed to do this! Pay LESS than minimum wage? Wtf. I was well into adulthood before I even know that was a thing because, thankfully, it isn't where I live. I understand the reasoning, it's just that reasoning like that makes them politicians a$sh0les., that's all.
Church crowd also… we must travel in packs of 12-20 because we didn’t “fellowship enough” at the church so we plan to do that after at a restaurant where it’s super loud and busy and expensive. We don’t listen, we don’t acknowledge and we don’t have any grace for the person who is serving us (a “ large party” ) where you take up more of the server’s time for everything refills, condiments, to go boxes and especially the separate checks. We aren’t pleased with where we sat we wanted the patio, we need extra everything and use none of it and will leave you a “ tip card” praising the Lord and asking if you know Jesus? Every server has a story about you and it’s 90% not favorable.
Well it sounds like typical good Christians. You know the kind, the ones that tells you Jesus loves you while they're stapping you in the back by talking about you. You know the kind. Like not tithing, but they've got a 50,000$ bass boat. Or the deacon trying to get down your wife's pants after firing the preacher for adultery. God bless their little souls. Because only He has that kind of love for sinners, even those in his church.
It'd be good if y'all had your fellowship meetings catered. Normal people can't get in to eat!
I'm not a server and downright hate church groups who pile into the local diner. No one else gets to eat there once church lets out.
I worked at Walmart, and the Sunday crowd was the worst. They were the rudest group of the week.
If you as Christians are going out shopping or out to eat on Sunday, treat these workers with respect.
“There is no integrity in treating others badly.”
I won't go anywhere near restaurants when it's time for the church crowd to let out. I'm not even working there but it's difficult to get in and get a seat and those people are some of the most entitled, rudest, obnoxious people that I have ever encountered in my life.
One of them actually barged up to the table me and my friend were at one time and demanded that we hurry up and leave so they could have the table because they had been waiting long enough. Why they picked us I don't know but I told her where she could go and how fast she could go there. The management had to remove her screaming and cussing her head off the whole way while in her Sunday best with a damned bible in one hand and a purse in the other.
Wooowww
I live in the "Bible Belt" and I go for breakfast and grocery store Sunday mornings. The Christers are all busy, and I get cleared out before they invade the restaurants and stores.
@@erniea4424We do that for our local Costco. Works like a charm!
@@erniea4424 My family wants me to move back to the bible belt after being in Colorado for the past 28 years. Now that I know it's still that way, I don't know if I can do it. And when I factor in all the tornadoes, lol, I think my answer might be NOPE! 😂
@@lisaobrien4898 - I fled moonbat infested Vermont after 60+ years. I'm really loving eastern Kentucky. The bible-thumpers are 1,000 times easier to deal with than moonbats.
A wise man omce told be you can judge someones character by how they treat the waitstaff. Truer words have never beem spoken.
I have walked out on several dates simply because of how the other person treated the staff. I seriously don't give a damn if you think you're a 10, you treating another human being like trash instantly makes you a 0.
I work front end retail and I HATE working on Sunday for that same reason. Oh, news flash. No one is readying the pamphlets.
I don't care when it is, always be nice to your server. The only exception to this is if they're being terrible to you, then you can ask them outright why. And it is not just the server, it is any employee worker that you come in contact with. Here in the desert, we have a custom of always offering complete strangers a bottle of cold water whenever you come in contact with them.
It isn't only in restaurants!
I told a preacher many years ago "the problem with churches is the people in 'em".
You should see them fight for spaces in the church parking lot....🤔
If your going to church for the people your going to church for the wrong reasons you go to church to worship the Lord our God not the sinners sitting in the church.
@@jjshuffe - it's easy to see that you are among the reasons I stay away from churches
@@jjshuffe True, but if the attendees fall far short of the fruit of the Spirit, questions need to be asked.
Like Gandhi apparently said: "I like your Christ, but I don't like your Christians."
It's why I quit going to a church. Don't talk it if you can't walk it 🫣 Praise God for you speaking up about it 🙏
Serving and managing in restaurants was what I did for many years. I worked countless Sunday brunches and I approve this message. My favorite excuse for them not to tip more than 10% of the bill was “servers don’t deserve more than I give the Lord”. Well, servers don’t deserve 10% of all your income or “first fruits”, but if you want to show your appreciation for their service you can at least tip 20% of your bill.
Christian people can be so cheap. It's embarrassing.
I quit tipping when ya’all started demanding a tip I used to always tip 30-40% now I tip 0% no matter how good the service is a few bad servers ruined it for all you servers. Never again will I tip
@@jjshuffeBut do you still go to restaurants, though?
Tipping isn’t about how good the service is, it is about how much you appreciate the service and that’s what you show with your tip. Servers only make 2.13 an hour where I live, so by not tipping you would be costing someone time and hard work and no appreciation. It really shows how good you are, not your server, by not tipping. I couldn’t care less if you tip your barista that makes 15 an hour or anywhere in any state that has servers receiving at least minimum wage.
In the 60’s while in high school, I worked at a Sizzler Steak House. On Sunday’s we had a lot of church crowd people come in and although I was never yelled at, the woman’s bathroom was always trashed on that day and no other day. The men’s was always fine. ???
The church crowd from my hometown was always very nice. Once I moved to Atlanta is when I started experiencing the after church crowd bring not so nice
I realized when I was a hostess at a restaurant working Sunday brunch that many were just hangry from sitting in church all morning. Mean walking in, as nice as could walking out.
I worked at a beautiful restaurant, that had a back room option that served smaller portions, appetizers and drinks, during the week. It sat on the water and it was very popular. On Sundays, we did "Brunch" and it was buffet style, yet people could request small extra things. We worked out backsides off to serve those people, kept the areas clean, the food was always hot and delicious and we did it with smiles. The worst group I ever had? 24 Church going folks, who decided last minute to come to brunch. We have a sign that CLEARLY states if you are not seated by 11:45, we will not refresh the buffet. Yes, we have refreshed the buffet at 11:44, no problem. We have to transition from Buffet, starting at noon, to Sunday lunch and dinner at 1:00. It was very quick turnaround, to include removing all the buffet tables and items, setting up chair and tables, cleaning and reset. It was 11:48 and we had hung the buffet closed sign out front (People know to just ask if they still want to sit but no refresh of the food) and on the podium and these people were losing their cool with our hostess and then our manager. I cannot tell you the number of times we have discounted brunch or given away free food at the end, because the owners were really good people. There was enough food on the line for them but they wanted FRESH. My manager refused and do you now these people were cursing her up and down, the wrote a letter to the newspaper (Angry Karen style- 1990's) and the leader of the group came back on Monday and started getting into everyone there. My manager told them not to ever come back and have a nice day.
You are right - we are not to judge those who are not IN the body. But we are also to hold one another accountable as fellow believers, and that is just what you are doing. Holding the body accountable to their testimony as a Christian.
I was part of the same church for 18+ yrs. I hit a rough patch and stopped going for a bit. Not one member has EVER contacted me to see how I was doing. When I stopped mailing my check. I no longer got a newsletter, birthday card or postcard notice of my deacon.
Those 18+ yrs to build a meaningful personal relationships with the members were a complete waste of my time. God is the only one who stayed with me.
My Grandfather was right. As long as I got God. I don't need to attend church with a bunch of christian hypocrites.
I'm so sorry that happened. I've had similar experiences, but also some great ones. I'm grateful you haven't given up on God, but don't give up on the body, either. ❤
This along with so many other things is why I stopped going to church. They gossip, look down on what people ware, where they work, and treat other kids with contempt. Then as you said, go to restaurants and if it is not perfection, they get riled up and may even cause a scene. And yes, I am not perfect, but we are to treat people with the love of God. Respect everyone and they, hopefully, will respect you back. What was the saying a few years ago…What Would Jesus Do? Maybe we need to remind people of that again.
I would love to remind them
Well, then there's my favorite way of putting this in Context for them, and I'd be willing to do a phone call, zoom meeting, or other options, And "have a coming to Jesus moment" with them. LoL. I'm just trying to be funny about this, but my offer is actually an offer for any one. I will be polite, I won't be spicy or sassy or rude, to the best of my ability. Usually after a conversation with me, unruly people are standing up straight and minding their manners... Hence my name...
I highly recommend visiting a new church where you don't know anyone and you'll see how many hundreds of people in attendance will refuse to say hello or even sit near you as a visitor, then youll see how the church really treats outsiders.
My grandmother was a Christian Scientist. Her favorite thing to do is to go with family, visiting from out of state, to the local Village Inn for Sunday brunch. She would visit each table complimenting the folks there, just chatting. My grandmother was overweight and had difficulty walking, needed canes. Every table she visited she left them with the ‘feel goods.’ She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Miss her dearly ❤❤
Being over weight and needing canes...I'm sure she was a delight for servers trying to do their job to work around. Time and place for visiting.
But did she tip the waitstaff l?
Years ago I worked in a restaurant. No one wanted to work on Sunday or Wednesday night because of the nasty attitudes of the after church crowd.
Rude, messy and cheap.
The Wednesday night youth groups were the worst. Trashed the back dining room, which they demanded to have to themselves, and thought it was funny to tip 10 cents.
Terrible representation of people supposedly living like Christ.
Can we talk about "Church people tips"? That...and the ever present holier than thou, attitude, is another reason servers hate to see them walk through the door. Not all church people...but the great majority. Sad but true.
I'm recently going back to church and stuff like that but I will say, some of these church people like to talk about other people behind their back, from what they wearing, how they look, or how they carry themselves and I'm pretty sure nothing in the Bible mentions that as acceptable behavior.
Very true. It makes me sad.
To me it's unconscionable. As a man of God it's up to me to extend mercy and grace everywhere I go. It's up to me to be generous, thoughtful, kind and maybe make up for a bad crowd.
In a restaurant once I walked past a group of guys and found out they had been rude to her. I gave her as generous a tip as I could, as well as support her emotionally.
Perhaps you are right, calling them Church People, because maybe that's all they are.
I have been doing this before I heard Dave Ramsey talk about it.
Wish you and all service workers blessings.
Thank you so much ☺️
I chose to work Sundays at the hospital. That was my way to serve. That was my explanation for all the judgy ones. And I avoid restaurants at peak church times because of crowds like those.
I’ve been berated because I was working and obviously didn’t go to church. I’m not Catholic, but at that moment I pulled a what about 8am Mass? I think they do this to feel justified for not giving us more than they would give the lord. That was actually said to me.
Too bad. Servers and the people who cook the food will make better use of the money than 90% of the pastors.
"Maybe it's time for a little Judgment..."
--Jesus
I worked retail and we opened on Sunday at 9:00 and from 9 to 12 it was pretty peaceful, but we all dreaded the crowd after 12. They all acted like snobs looking down their nose at us. I had a preacher come in and we couldn’t get his order to go through so it was taking a few minutes to figure out why, he was huffing and puffing and then he said do you know who I am I’m preacher so and so and I don’t have time for this. His poor wife was so embarrass. The problem was his we found out after he stormed off, he gave a wrong phone number to the person he ordered from so when we were looking it up we couldn’t find it. So to all church people and I say church people because apparently you’re not Christian because Christian means Christ like and you sure don’t act it. Religion sucks but a relationship with Jesus Christ is awesome.
Retail worker here. She's 100% correct about the Sunday church crowd. So many act as though they are Christ themselves. They are "fresh from church and feeling judgemental". I've been talked down to, screamed at, berated and called all sorts of vile names by so called Christians. I've been told that I need to " Get Jesus" because I am nothing but a lowly retail worker. I can see these people coming from a mile away, and I always avoid them like the plague.
It’s a shame too.
@@Stephaniecarlisle0529 Yeah, because I'm sure not all are like that. But the ones I know are absolutely BRUTAL!
These are the same people that shame others for not going to church and working on the Sabbath. I always wanted to say, "If you stopped eating out and shopping on Sunday we could have the day off."
That’s exactly how I feel too
I'm a Christian and was a server for years. The worst people to wait on were French and Church people. I actually spoke to one minister about how hypocritical and awful his people were. I told him they actually turned people AWAY from Christ. It was the Wednesday night after church crowd. I literally paid to wait on them and had to stay an extra hour for them. They didn't hardly tip and my tip out was more than they left me. The COST me money. I spoke about it at my church and they all were wonderful to wait on.
THANK YOU!
Little story:
When I was in college (back in the early 1990’s) I worked at a bagel bakery/sandwich shop. On Sundays, the line to order lunch would go out the door and wrap around on the sidewalk.
We all worked as efficiently as humanly possible to get the orders done.
One Sunday I lost my sh** with all of the complaining and people being rude in line, and telling us to hurry up, and, and, and.
So, I yelled over the crowd and said, “Hey!😃 If you came here from church today, raise your hand😃”
Most of the people there raised their hands.
Then I said, “Ok! Wonderful!😃 Now, keep your hands up if your minister, preacher, pastor, or priest said at the end of service today, ‘Now go out and show God’s love to all you meet by being pushy, impatient, and berating the people trying to do things for you😃‘“
Hands went down.
I then said, “We are all doing our very best to serve you. We thank you for your patience.”
Of course, as it was a Sunday, the owner was there as well. I was fairly certain I would be fired, but I just got a “talking to.” And was told that if I ever pulled something like that again that I would, indeed, be fired.
I was a camp counselor, which is why I felt comfortable talking to a large group of people like that.
All truth. Please stop leaving tracts for tips and mistreating servers!!!
If you leave a tract, be sure to include a good tip as well, minimum.
Oooooh, Chile! This video should be played as a reminder as folks exit after the Benediction! 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I’m a grocery store cashier who always has to work Sunday and the worst customers are the church folk who are nicely dressed and have the nastiest attitude!
I'm a grocery cashier and you are not wrong. It makes me sad as a child of the Most High
That’s sad. But are these people particularly nasty on Sunday or is it just their general demeanour?
Shopping on a sunday as someone who goes to church strikes me as... weird.
But that's might be me being german where shops are closed on sundays.
Thank you so much for this video. I have witnessed these church groups in many restaurants . That is why I no longer go to restaurants on Sundays.
The church crowd ALL arrives within 15-20 minutes. I agree.. NOBODY should be mistreating service workers!! It’s a great point… we show God’s love through kindness and respect. I despise people that scream at service workers. I will get involved!!
Thank you for making this video. I’ve been making fellow Christians - friends and family alike - mad by saying this for probably 20 years. Be nice, tip well, ASSUME all mistakes were either a) accidents or b) NOT the server’s fault.
Or, just eat at home … in Jesus’ name!
As a black man, I go to the grocery store on Sundays after churches let out to meet married white christian women. Best place and time for it.
So... You're a fornicator!
That was a beautiful message, as a fellow Christian I have to admit I don't hang out with fellow Christians much, why? because of their holier than thou attitudes not to mention their judgemental attitudes. God forbid you make a mistake and say or do anything wrong which is human nature, you will be talked to or worst talked about, I'v seen it with my own eyes.
Amen, amen, amen! My grandfather was a minister and I was raised going to church every Sunday. We referred to people who behave this way as “Pew Potatoes” because they clearly were not listening during the service. You don’t go to church every Sunday so that you can be UnChristian the rest of the week. I worked at a church in a large city and one Sunday a woman approached me during the service and asked me to make a homeless man move/leave because he smelled. I just looked at her and said, “Do you see where you are??” . Clueless!
45 years ago I attended a Baptist church and really enjoyed the pastor's sermons. One Sunday at the end of his sermon he said: " I'm going to give you today. But net week I want you to prepare a meal on Saturday for you to eat after church on Sunday instead of racing the Methodists down to the Western Sizzlin after church. Everytime you go out to eat or to shop after church you are causing somebody that could have been in church to have to work". Well, the Deacons got busy and fired him that week and shortly, he was replaced with another pastor. The church members never missed a Sunday of racing the Methodists to the Western Sizzlin.
This makes me sad.
Amen! And as Christians if we see other Christians acting like that we need to immediately say something. All my family and friends know you better be on your best behavior if you’re going out for a meal with me because I will call you out for rude behavior. I’m not allowing anybody to shame my religion and especially my God by their bad behavior. I have also been a server several times throughout my life
I worked at Honey Baked Ham (they used to be open on Sundays) and we were lucky enough to rarely have rude people. When we did, it was primarily parents with little kids or babies, they never even attempted to clean up after.
You are speaking the truth!!👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Same for retail. Took me years to accept christianity.
I used to wait tables on Sundays occasionally if they needed it, but I was shocked how mean those people were! I think it's like people have been holding in the whole time then let loose on the nearest stranger.
Anyways, people always say don't judge, but they lack the context of the rest of the passage. So yeah, confronting professing Christians about being nasty to people is a really great thing. And maybe they don't actually believe and the need to hear the simple Gospel message of God's goodness, our wicked state that makes us guilty before God, and God Loving us and sending us a Savior (his son Jesus) to pay for our entire punishment and making us righteous if we believe in the work Jesus did by dying on the cross, being buried and raised from the grave on the third day. God is so good!
Where I work, usually my boss schedules me for Sunday since she knows that I prefer working Sundays so I can avoid being forced to go to church. It's crazy, but usually people are nice to us here, so I'm grateful for that. I'm a minimum wage worker though, not someone who survives off tips, so that's probably why it's a different experience for me.
I try to leave generous tips, "A laborer is worth his hire."
If we expect to take off work on Sundays, why do we expect others to work for us? We should consider not going out to businesses as we take off from work ourselves.
This is universally understood in the service industry. 10+ years. We prepare ourselves to be treated lower than dirt, personally attacked, humiliated, worked like a dog, then robbed of your pay, and left those fucking pamphlets, and the absolute sickest part, is when you can see they enjoy it. You are personally turning people away from God and if you can even behave like that Christ ain't in you.
Wife and I went to this one church it was very nice. Than my job required me to work Sundays. My wife would get all these cutting remarks over why I wasn’t there. No these were not coming from the jeans wearing people. These came from the suit tie pant dresses. I would help vacuum the church on my off days. It’s a build people God’s church is in you.
This is so sad that this is happening. Thank you for sharing this for those that may be unaware but hopefully, willing to do better. Even if I receive poor service, I always tip at least 20% because I realize that the server may be new, running behind, or been dealing with some jerks or just having an off day. Waiting tables and working in a restaurant is typically tough. I feel it should be illegal for servers not to make a base of minimum wage but yes, TIP your servers, they deserve it and depend on it.
It would be really interesting if the pastor of their church would overhear these women when they treat others so poorly. Then, have the pastor walk over to the table and call them out for their bad behavior.
You can actually do that. The Pastor typically takes Monday off, and Tuesday is generally preparing for the midweek Wednesday service. Thursday is ideal. As the rude Sunday patrons what church they're from, look up their church website, and find out who it is. Prepare for the meeting by audio recording them on your cellphone (check your state laws on this first), and try to bring another waitress/busboy as a witness if you can. If it's a megachurch and the pastor is hard to book an appointment with, ask to speak with an assistant/associate pastor. Sunday sermons are generally posted on the church's website on or shortly afterwards, you can check the next few following Sundays to see if he addresses the issue. If not, go back. The pastor's wife also has his ear, and many of them worked as waitresses while in Bible College, and is personally aware of the problem.
@@jacqueslefave4296 It would be interesting to see a restaurant refuse to serve the church crowd and tell them why.
She was sharing the only gospel she knows - the gospel of "I'm more important than you are" 🤷♂️
Yeeeessss she was anything but Christian like
She was stating EXACTLY what the after church crowd acts like in restaurants and it sounds like it's hitting to close to home for you all.
Berating servers is unacceptable, especially after implying that you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
On a separate note, I cannot tell you the number of times I've been served cheese/ butter after asking for no cheese / butter and stating that I'm lactose intolerant
Mistakes happen especially when the server is extremely busy trying to do his/her best to remember all the outside of normal order requests. Please don’t take this as saying your request is unreasonable it is just one more thing for the person to remember when stressed. I am sure the restaurant would gladly remake your order or replace it with something else. No big deal.
@@bettyboop3353
Yep, I’ve had mistakes made on orders….who hasn’t. It happens. Just calmly let the server know. They’ve always replaced it for me.
1:24 that doesn’t sound like a Christian that sounds like a church attendee. Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” Too many people call themselves Christians but it doesn’t check out when you look at the resume.
100% agree
Worship at home, because it's Sunday All the Sinner's are going to church. I hear you and deeply sorry you and your staff were treated like that.✌️🙏✨
Away from me !, i never knew you . "Jesus"
This is so true. My mom worked at Shoney’s years ago and hated Sunday brunch/lunch. You wouldn’t believe the stories. One of the Shoney’s she worked in was in an affluent community and they would have church bus loads come in and some would sneak out without paying.
You are so beautiful .. I don’t see a ring on that finger.. Fellas this one is a keeper and a has a good heart.. And a good business manager with compassion.. Home run in every category.. The love train moving on ❤❤❤
Sp glad you said this!❤
Tip generously...after church and anytime you go out. Christians and teachers are notoriously terrible tippers. Especially if you are going to leave a bible tract. Truth be told, some of the best Christians i know have left the churches now...
Christians aren't even Christian enough for Christian situations. Our Sunday school session ended and a few of us stayed in the classroom to pray for a couple going through a very difficult time. We have about 20 minutes between one class ending and the second class beginning. During our prayer, an older woman walks in, stands by the door with her arms folded and starts tapping her toe. A couple other people follow her in. We had only been praying for a couple minutes and were in the process of wrapping up, since we are polite ( and because she was there, it easily could have lasted another couple minutes) and before we are done, she blurts out "OH FINALLY, THEY'RE FINISHING!" in the most condescending, berating tone I have heard in a long while. The entitlement of that woman and her classmates was ludacris. Not all church-goers are Christians, no matter how long they have been attending, or even if they have been baptized. Church attendance or baptism don't save you, only a change in your heart toward Christ, accepting He died for your sins to be forgiven, and subsequently, your actions also change, including understanding of our call to treat others with love, dignity, and respect. And only Christ knows the true state of your heart and relationship with Him.
🗣️ Thank you!!!
This is so true! I worked at LJS when I was in high school, and I absolutely DREADED the church crowd! They were the rudest, most condescending people I’ve ever come across. It was hell working Sunday’s!
Totally with you. Great video.
I have tears in my eyes watching this video. NO server should be treated like that by ANYONE! Being a server is difficult especially when it's busy and people constantly need something and even act like complete jerks. Anyone who works with the public knows how rough it is dealing with the public. When my husband and I go to restaurants we AVOID the church crowd times because it's just too busy. But when we so go to a restaurant, we are patient and kind. There are times when we prophesy to the server or give words of knowledge as Holy Spirit leads and we make SURE we tip very well. Sometimes I leave a note of encouragement. I am extremely upset about the condition of the Church and even sometimes extremely annoyed. This horrible behavior have to stop. 😡
Amen, smile and thing, God loves you.
Learn to give.
We try to be a better example of ourselves daily. Love your neighbor as you wish to be loved. If you miss this part of the gospel, you missed the whole of godliness.
OMG. If I was with anyone from my church that acted like that I would be shamed. They may go to a Christian church but that doesn’t make them a Christian
Never forget “They that are sick need a physician”. What better place for mean nasty people to be? It’s my prayer God gets a hold of us all and changes us! I don’t avoid the gym because of fat people (I’m a little porky myself!) but that’s where I need to be! Where we miss the mark is forgetting who we are and whose we are!
I'm not sure about the comparison between an attitude, which you can help, vs being overweight. When's the last time someone's jelly rolls gave you the side glance and turned up nose, for being different? You don't uncomfortable around fat people, but the obnoxious saint they are talking about can definitely make you feel unwelcomed.
@@bricewarner9096 😂😅 I thank you for the laugh! I have to say I have never felt looked down upon by someone's jelly rolls.
What’s wrong with closing your place of business for Sunday anyway, most of the time if you can’t make it from Monday thru Saturday , Sunday is probably not worth even being open, that way it gives a chance for all your employees to be at church and another way to hear the gospel.
Because you might not make an extra dollar. Lord knows that money is the most important thing to most of these types. Hobby Lobby is an example, the store is closed on Sunday but the driver that delivers the Chinese made trinkets has to work so that they have a store full for the "good Christians" to buy on Monday.
Judgment is okay!!! As long as it's RIGHTOUS JUDGMENT....we absolutely fail if we don't call each other out!!!
I do IT in the restaurant industry, and the stories I hear about the Sunday church crowd being the worst are embarrassing at best. It is people like this who do the most damage to Christianity and push people away from the Gospel. Why would they think it is acceptable to treat a human being, who is there to serve you just as Christ called you to serve, like they are less than human? The hypocrisy is stunning, and Satan is laughing with every incident like this. I completely understand why many are driven away from church and Christianity when this is the example they see on a regular basis. These people probably treat their pets better than they treat other humans outside those church doors, and that is unbelievably sad.
Jesus is the example of Christianity
You are judging sister but thats okay. We're called to judge righteously, and you are doing just that. And you are absolutely correct.
Maybe it's just a reflection of my work in the service industry, but I've always tried to make it a point to put service people in the best light. My friends tease me that someone has to deliberately go out of their way to be offensive for me to take offense. If there is a correction that needs to be made, I try to do it calmly, and in the moment. If anything, I've learned over the years that if I approach the service staff in a calm and kindly manner, they are generally prompt and eager to solve whatever problem I'm addressing. Even if it's just pointing out that the new barista mixed my smoothie in a container that had been used for peanut butter previously. They were already to make me a new one and I just stated that it had happened, and could be an issue for someone with an allergy.
I used to work in food a service throughout my twenties. The rudest and most entitled people were the after church crowd
Amen sister! We are Christ’s representatives! Sometimes we are the worst advertisements for Him!😢
Holy shit, a rational Christian, telling her people to be better. Mrs. Carlisle, this life long atheist respects and salutes you.
Karens for Christ!!! There ya go.
This breaks my heart to hear 💔
Same.
Me too. She’s telling the truth tho😢
Church crowd calling themselves Christian... while not honoring the Sabbath....
There are problems in youth sports retaining officials..(referees, umpires) because the spectators have become a nightmare of rudeness and verbal attacks. I have a buddy that’s a full time Umpire. He says it’s gotten unbelievably bad. The very worst, he says, are the Church leagues
I think the server asking the customer what church they represent would stop them in their tracks
You guys gotta tell it like it is. Its church ladies specifically. Right?
This has been happening for DECADES! I hope people listen to her and change, but until they grasp and wear Christ’s grace and humility, it’s not going to change.
Once when my brother was a server, he had a huge table of church folk to wait on. They were obnoxious and demanding and he figured that they wouldn’t tip him but as luck would have it, he had an extreme case of the silent but deadlies that day so let’s just say that he made their dining experience exceptionally memorable.
😂😂😂😂 I am crying laughing
It’s his superpower. 💪
Call them out
Amen sister
It's not just how they treat the servers it's how they treat eachother. I used to go out with a group of young people after church. I had a babysitting job so I paid for myself and I hated asking my parents for money. One of the girls asked if I was coming and I said no, I was out of cash. She coerced me to come, promising to pay for me. I oredered a single drink not wanting to put her out. She didn't pay for me and gave me a dirty look, everyone else refused to pay for me too so they just let the tip cover it but they all shamed me for it. I found out later that she had told her family that I tried to basically steal.....
These "church crowds" are the reason I quit going to church. They are all hypocrites. I have better conversations and closeness to Jesus while I'm alone in my car commuting to and from work. And I actually ready bible instead of going to a building to "be seen"
I prefer to go straight home after church. It’s much better to bring the crowd to somebody’s house and fellowship there. This is something that every “ church goer “ should do. It would be much better to take all of that business away from the local businesses.
She’s right- the church crowd is the worst to serve to. Also rarely tipped after being so extra!
“By this everyone will know that you are My disciples: if you love one another.” - Jesus (John 13:35) This is what we should be striving for!
...some fine Christian attitude we got there! 😢
There are some ladies I hate to go out with because I've seen this. It's so embarrassing. You got it, girl!
