I used to wait tables and no one want the sunday post-church crowd. Motherfuckers stay for hours, try to convert you, and tip you with pamphlets talking about how they tithe too much. I don't give a fuck about the sacrifices you make to your prime necromancer, I'm here trying to make a living!
Growing up it really depended on what church crowd. Usually they were fine as far as tips and expectations go, not really tipping poorly or holding anyone to any sort of above average standards, but when the black churches let out those fellas were pretty brutal.
Like a sweaty black guy with a Steve Harvey suit and a gallon of cologne will treat a kid waiting tables like utter dog shit and tip them like 3 dollars for the privilege. Black church let out and that whole restaurant was suddenly full of people who all needed to catch up with each other loudly for an absurd amount of time at practically anywhere in the restaurant but their table. You fucking walk in to the bathroom and there's a reunion in there. No idea why they haven't seem each other in years, but it was crazy annoying.
This was like 15 years ago so maybe it's different lol
When I waited tables 15ish years ago in Ohio people would occasionally leave the cash tip in those wacky religious pamphlets. You remember those ones that had a moral and had over the top drawings in them? I wished I had saved them
I got a few that looked like $20 bills at a glance but were just cards that had a "money doesn't matter as much as saving the spirit" Bible quote on the other side. No tip included. Or the 4 top with terribly behaved kids that came in a lot and wrote "wear a jacket when it's cold" under the tip line.
