      We’ll just push that 4-top, 4-top, 6-top, 5-top together and make a table at this server station while blocking fire escapes.

    I worked in retail for 7 years. Every damn Sunday we would get at least one customer in their Sunday best turn into an impatient, vile, insulting human being towards us because of something in the weekly ad or whatever. I wasn’t particularly religious despite attending Catholic school for every grade until high school graduation, but this solidified my loss of faith even more.

    Oh, and it was a tiny bit of an influence on me becoming an alcoholic too! Yay!

      That’s why I like being on ad every sunday, no matter what, I was out of the building before 12pm. No nightmare grandma’s for me.

    This church group used to come in sunday afternoons. No reservation. At least 12 people. Separate checks. They’d sit for over an hour and have a meeting with their pastor. None of them tipped or if they did they rounded up to the nearest dollar.

    I don’t understand the “be shitty to food service worker” attitude.

    They do realize its the people making their food, right?

    You don’t even have to be a nice person, just be pragmatic, act nice.

    Don’t die by poisoning.

    Lost my wallet today at a grocery store full of church dressed people. Locked the cards,then saw two usage attempts on two different cards. Of course, maybe it wasn’t one of the people who had just came from church…

      It could easily be someone who goes to church. My church has a community meal and a food pantry, and a lot of people who are welcome and who come for church services are homeless or food-insecure or addicts. And honestly anything that isn’t locked up walks away way too often. Jesus called for the church to serve the hurting and broken and needy so it shouldn’t be a surprise. You know what though? A lot of those people are willing to volunteer time and even give a little when they can.

      But the rich assholes that don’t tip and treat their servers like shit, they usually don’t help the church at all in any way. Maybe they throw in $20 a couple times a year to appease their conscience. Continue berating them by all means.

      I mean you don’t know. While you’re getting all new stuff…try a phone wallet app. I only have 1 physical CC in my wallet plus some cash if needed. The tap to pay uses a dummy CC#, it’s very secure, so even if stores get hacked your info is safe. A lot of people don’t know this…phone wallet app is very very safe.

      I have 1 physical CC but have access to all 5 CCs via phone wallet app for tap to pay.

      Also recommend a small front pocket wallet. Easier on the back, it’s less prone to slipping out/getting stolen, and if you’re looking for a brand-specific recommendation I like Trayvax with its 65-yr heirloom warranty. It’s a wallet for life. 🙂

      Good on you locking the cards via their apps. 👍👍👍

        Actually how I paid for groceries. I’ve also already replaced the card via app and it was instantly available for my wallet app too. Gonna try using that more and see how comfortable I am with bringing less or no ccs with me. A few stores I hit still can’t tap, but they are much less now.

        As for the front wallet, kinda actually the issue. I haven’t put my wallet in back pocket for years. Most of my pants have a zippable side/leg pocket that I put the wallet in, but today I wore different pants so used front pocket, but using a belt clip on the pocket lip(the main wallet on the inside). I thought I’d feel if it came out but I was wrong.

        I still will go for something small,and likely never use the clip part. I’ll check out the brand you mentioned.

      You’ve been rude and hateful towards Americans in several posts and it’s not okay. I’m considering banning you on my instance. You need to learn how to be respectful while sharing disagreement.

        Is this comment a joke? Trump has been rude, hateful, and disrespectful towards Canadians. Despite being a close neighbour, rallying and sending our forces to U.S. for “their” wars, housing and feeding thousands of their citizens during the 9-11 attack, Trump has slammed us with underserved tariffs, and threatened to annex us. I think we’ve been downright fucking civil.

        Oh cry me a river. The fact is that your country is now threatening an economic war with the entire world and fucking directly ANNEXING MY COUNTRY. I"ll say it again, americans democratically elected dt, knowing who he was. The fact that no country in the world now can’t focus on any subject other then fighting back the USA (no one talks about environment, every country raises “defense” budget) makes it clear: your country is a threat to the survival of the human race. Like literally. So just ban me already from your instance lol, and go keep bullshitting the world about freedom of speech.

    I am not religious, and I am not old, but this does not sit right with me. I don’t know who the person in photo is, but we are “hating” on them just because they look old?

    I understand it is a “meme” and i should laugh at “stereotypical karen” but is not that one of the things that people state they disliked about reddit?

      I can only speak from my own experiences, so I don’t know if this happens in other countries, but in the US, this is a very specific kind of Christian.

      I used to work retail with a very religious old lady who was excommunicated from the Catholic church because her husband divorced her (he divorced her, not the other way around, and she was the one who was punished, but that’s a different absurd topic) and this meme would describe her brother, who she talked about with absolute vitriol.

      She would describe him as acting like he was a saint despite partaking in every vice you can imagine and being a complete asshole to everybody around him during the week, all because he went to church every Sunday and therefore that made him a good Christian.

      These are a particular kind of holier-than-thou person who expect the world to bend to their whim because of the number of times that they’ve circled the sun on this rock we call Earth and believe that they have the right to treat service staff like trash in the way that royalty treated their servants.

        I am sorry for your experience, but generalisation is what i did not like. I am not in us, or a place where christianity is the major relegion. The behaviour may be region specific, but still, this seems wierd to me.

          No worries, my point was that this is actually not a generalization, but about a very specific type of person. People, especially those who work in restaurants in the US, would see this and know exactly the person that this is about. They’ve all seen at least a few of them and could probably call them out by name.

      The meme is not about the specific person in the photo. You’re not supposed to hate the specific person in the photo. It’s about the type of person described in the text and the picture is just a stand-in for those people.

      This type of Christian is very real and numerous and make service workers lives much harder. This meme, I believe, is by and for the people who are effected by their attitudes.

      I think you might not enjoy the meme because you haven’t had experience with this type of Christian. That’s okay. Not every meme has to be for everyone. But please, don’t let your takeaway be that we hate the specific woman in from the photo.

        my take away was never hating person in photo (that part was just in case we are hating the person in photo, but my second para in the original comment is what i got - old relegious person is rude to service worker). I have not experienced it, so i can not relate, sorry.

          It’s not about being old. Or a women. Or a driver. Or white. This is about Christians and more widely religious hypocrisy. Christianity preaches tolerance, humility, not judging others, and yet these are the same people who gave trump the power. Objectively and according to the bible, this guy is the fucking antichrist: luxury, vanity, greed, adultery, etc. name a sin and he has made it an art of living. So yeah, fuck them all.

      Age isn’t really a factor in the way you’re perceiving it here.

      There’s a very large population of US Christians who think it’s a sin to work on Sunday but who also go out to eat in restaurants when they leave church. That particular population of Christians is pretty demanding and on the whole are bad tippers.

      I grew up going to several of those churches. If my mom had to work her retail job on a Sunday, the Church Ladies™ would tut about it and say what a shame it was for her to be working on The Lord’s Day™. But then they would turn right around and head out for lunch at the nearest buffet restaurant where they’d run the server ragged for two hours and leave a dollar or two as a tip on their entire bill. They never understood how hypocritical their actions were.

      Oh there are plenty of 20-30-something’s that are Jesus Karen’s. If you have ever worked retail in the US, you would no doubt have encountered one in the wild. They are terrible people, who deserve as much shit as they dish out.

        Jesus Karens cross age, race, and gender gaps with ease but it’s often in my experience been older ladies.

        The sad thing is that these are also the type who usually spread hate more than they spread love via racism, sexism, generationism, looking down on anyone not believing the same way they believe, and just generally being assholes except for one hour a week.
