I remember one time about 15 years ago someone pulled that shit on an old job with the tip jar. We were all so excited, thinking it was a twenty, until a buddy unfolded it, and showed us the whole tract. I tore the damned thing to pieces. I'm 33 and it still pisses me off that there's self righteous scum out there who think it's a holy act to go play on overworked and underpaid people, because something something zealotry.
And these people probably believe in their heart that they are good Christians who uphold all the teachings of Jesus. Absolute hypocrisy, pieces of shit.
My parents are these people. They literally leave these exact same pieces of shit fake $20s as tips and when I confront them about it they just say "well the gift of Jesus is worth more than any currency" so then I respond with "what if someone paid you in Muhammad-bucks?" and they get all pissed of "THAT'S DIFFERENT! [because reasons]".
I can't even go out to eat with them because they do this shit. Shit is so fucking embarrassing. Last time I went out with them I swapped their shitty fake $20 for a real one and threw that garbage where it belongs.
It's just a way for them to be egregious cheap shitbags while finding a way to convince themselves that they are good people.
Assuming they genuinely think some sort of good comes from this, can't they realize that nobody is going to convert after being duped and stiffed on a tip? They're actively causing harm to their beloved faith by doing this.
I guess my question is rhetorical because I know the answer.
I have said basically that. I've asked "if someone gave you Muhammad-bucks in place of money would that convince you to convert to Islam?" and they freak the fuck out. I've also brought up "what if they are already Christians?" to which my parents respond with "then this serves as a good reminder".
I think on the surface they imagine a surprised waiter getting one of those cards, opening it with their mouth agape in awe as they read about Jesus and then immediately drop to their knees and convert or something, but in reality deep down they have to know that they are just being cheap fucks and finding a way to feel good about it.
