Sunday Lunch Shift

I have a chokeslam that is legit 8 years overdue (man I’m old).  I used to wait tables.  High school-College it was my source of income.  Not my bar money, not my shoes money – my power bill, car payment, bill money.  Want to know what my FAVORITE day to work was?  Sunday. ….  PSYCHE!!
I am a Christian.  I grew up going to church.  I pray every day.  But I HATED the “Christains” who came into the restaurant every Sunday with their noses in the air.

They came in with the attitude (and didn’t mind telling me this - every single week) that we had no business working on Sundays.  Yet, they sat down, ordered lunch, and had me wait on them.  Who do they think would be there to wait on them if I had not worked that Sunday?  

Best part – to better prove their point, they wouldn’t tip.  They’d leave church pamphlets.  Very sweet guys.  Really appreciate it.  

WWJD?  He would have tipped 20% so I could afford to take off the next Sunday to go to Church.
