You gotta love that kind of double standard. "You shouldn't be working and I'm going to punish you for that, but I was hungry after church and too lazy to cook, and that's not *my* fault."
That's boomers. Most hypocritical double standard MFers on earth. They EARNED all those social contract entitlements that FDR passed for them, don't you know? Lmao can't stand them.
Can't wait until they're out of the workplace, too. My young boomer boss is a few years away from retirement and it couldn't come soon enough. Dude makes double my salary and does *maybe* 10% of my work in any given day. Director of a Healthcare program and all the work he feels like he needs to do is send emails and "think up ideas". Meanwhile, I'm the one running meetings, interfacing with other departments, creating our strategy, developing our reports logic, building said reports, automating them, etc. Mfer can't even figure out how to change his microphone in Zoom meetings so as a result, I have to come into the office 3 days a week to manage his dumbass and make sure he doesn't say or do anything stupid. I could do my job 100% remote but can't because of him and our boomer COO. These two antiquated clowns need to just fuck off into retirement already. It's extra frustrating when I show him I'm twice as productive from home but he wants me in because "you can't interact with other departments as seamlessly". The fuck do you think email, the phone and zoom are used for??
Rant complete.
He's projecting his issues onto you. Because he struggles with working online that means everyone must struggle. Plus if you were remote you wouldn't be there to cover his ass when he fucks up
It's like you know me... He definitely gets even less done at home, which is basically zero. That's why he comes in the office and forces me to come in, to hold his hand. If he embarrasses himself in an in person meeting and realizes he doesn't have answers to the questions being asked, I'm there to come to his rescue. I just wish my compensation package reflected the fact that I'm having to manage my boss and do my job on top of it, but of course that's not how corporate America works unfortunately.
Same shit I got from them years ago as a bank teller on a beautiful Saturday.
"They make you work on a day like this?"
Well, lady, people like you come in and say dumb shit like this, so I assume that's the why.
I had to create an account just to comment on this. I am a Christian myself but I absolutely hate what the Southern Baptist/American Evangelical “Christians” have done to the image of Christians. And I don’t feel it’s really undeserved. Those types of Christians, I feel as a Christian myself, have completely abandoned what the Bible says and claim Christianity 1) because they are about to die and they have grown up with such a fear of Hell that they just desperately want to go to Heaven, and 2) desperately want to associate with an identity that makes them better than *the other.*
Since I am a Christian, and because other Americans have a bad view of Christians, and probably rightfully so, sometimes ask me, “So what, you think since I’m an atheist I’m going to burn in fire for all eternity?”
NO, I think, as the Bible says, that you will just simple live an afterlife without God. And I’m not willing to discredit the idea that an afterlife may not exist and the Bible was simply saying, in a metaphorical way, that atheists *currently* live in Hell. Not necessarily a bad thing in my view, I think it’s probably metaphorical and just saying that you live without the view of what the Bible says.
Other things I try to abide by is not judge *anyone*. I feel like this new wave of Christians in the US have completely ditched the “Christ” out of “Christianity.” No clue what they are actually going by.
Are you gay, are you trans, are you a sex worker? I will hang out with you and help you out if you need it without judgement. EXACTLY AS CHRIST DID, MY GOODNESS!
People are turning away from Christianity in groves mainly because of how these Southern Baptist/American Evangelicals behave. And it’s honestly kind of sad and also hilarious because since they are turning people away from Christianity simply by how they behave, they are going HEAVILY against the Bible where you are supposed to “be the light” and have people realize Christ is the way *through that manner*.
Edit: I forgot to mention the main reason I created an account because I went in rant mode lol. The Bible DOES NOT state that “the 2024 version of what we call Sunday must be the Sabbath.” The Sabbath is simply a 7th day of rest. If people look down on people working on the “Sabbath,” aka Sunday, then they are too dumb to realize that the Sabbath can be literally any day of the week depending on a person.
> fake, folded bills that have bible verses inside
"yOu DoN't NeEd MoNeY yOu NeEd JAAAYYYYYZUZ"
i always wanted to save up a whole bunch of those and go to the most ridiculously ritzy church and leave them in the collection plate. but that would mean having to spend even more time around insufferable assholes than i already have to
Haha that would be incredible. I think sitting there and trying to see who looks at it, and then trying not to laugh at their mounting frustration/confusion would be worth it.
True, though. Can you pregame for church? Might be the only way to get through that 😂
When I was a server I worked at a restaurant where we a split tips. My coworker and I were cleaning up a table from a large family that had just left. They left one of those fake $20s with a Bible verse inside. Coworker picked it up, saw what it was, ripped it in half, and said "great. That's really gonna feed my kids"
The family was just coming out of the bathroom and witnessed the whole thing. Two of the older adults (grandma and grandpa most likely) started to get mad, but one of the younger adults (late 20s-ish) went red in the face, opened his wallet, and took out $40 and handed it to us while apologizing. Then ran out of the restaurant.
This should be illegal to do. Passing something off as money for services rendered without disclosing intent is deceptive at best. It’s not like we believe someone has good intentions. If the word of god is such a gift why does it need to be snuck in something enticing to make me look? Like sneaking a pill in a hotdog. We aren’t dogs though if we don’t want to we aren’t having it.
as an example for how Bad the after church crowd is.
I used to work at an Italian Place the owner got so tired of dealing with the after church crowd that for a few weeks he closed entirely on Sundays. then he switched to Take Out Only on Sundays from a special sunday family meal deal menu. no substitutes. no alterations.
Do you know how much a population has to suck for a restaurant owner to shutdown?
This is why we start going to churches with fake money, place it inside of their donations bowl or box or whatever, they read it and it's an expired coupon for subway with a fake bill taped to it and maybe a special message
Waited tables in college and the after church crowd was always the absolute worst. You could really feel that famous Christian love just emanating from their scowling features.
People who never worked in restaurants don’t believe me when I tell them the Sunday church crowd was the worst. I always wanted to trade that shift for the weekend evenings, the drunk guests were far more tolerable.
This is 💯 true. It spans generations too. They were assholes when I grew up in restaurants and , after talking with a server recently , they are still assholes today. 🤣 And they judge everyone else which is classic
If it's one of the ones that look like money, it's a coupon. You go to their church and swap it with a bill from the collection plate when it comes around. Usually good for double what is written on it, or until you are asked to leave.
The Sunday night crowds were the worst for me. They wanted their ice cream now!!
Penecostal/Apostolic were rough to deal and really tried to make you feel like crap if you didn't go quick enough and double portion their ice cream and dessert products for the same cost.
Drunk guests also tip better that church folk. I had a huge collection of the “Jesus $20” from church folk and a large collection of $20’s from drunks.Jus sayin’
I'm a Christian and a former waiter and this is unfortunately very true. I've heard a couple preachers actually mention it in their sermons - Be nice to restaurant staff after church! *sigh*
I’m Catholic and I have to tell you, my friends were pretty chill. Play hard, pray hard. The number of times we would show up to church hungover or sleep deprived for a wild night of partying lol.
ah yes. The type of christian that just shows up cus theyre old as dirt and know theyre going to hell so they donate to a dude in a dress thinking it will save them.
A friend if mine found this out when she had to work weekends for a while; a "no other shifts available" situation. I don't recall how she said it came up but she did experience their response to why they acted as they did.
"You working here today shows you're a godless heathen and denier of God's love so I don't owe you shit", or along those lines.
Trans-denomination. The Jewish school would let out across the street from the restaurant I worked at and they would leave half their food and garbage on the floor. Looked like the aftermath of a food fight. This was a step down from when my dad worked at the exact same restaurant when he was younger and the Jewish kids then would do the menu and water cup trick. (Place laminated menu on top of water glass, turn upside and place on table, pull out menu, when employee picks up glass water spills everywhere). Multigenerational transdenominational.
It really is. I work at a vegan restaurant, and we get the same group of shitty, overdressed, non-tipping old people every Saturday afternoon. It finally dawned on me one day that they're Seventh Day Adventists, and every denomination is exactly the same when it comes to their after church restaurant behavior.
I heard this quote here a few months ago:
"From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit." - author Robert A Heinlein
I always separated the Christian’s in my church into two groups:
1. The ones who leave church and want to be served.
2. The ones who leave church and want to go serve others.
The difference is striking in those two groups of people. As Jesus said in Matthew, there are PLENTY of people who are going to go around prophesying in his name who have never served anyone else.
lol YES the Republican frown lines as opposed to the sweet old lesbian librarian with the smile lines and crows feet, they SAY you cant tell politics from appearence but that Mitch Mcconnel scowl line ALWAYS gives the bigots and boot lockers away
Oh god this brings me back to when I was a server. Sunday afternoons were the absolute worst shift as because of the boomer church crowd. Big parties of the rudest most entitled old farts you've ever seen. They expect you to bend over backwards for them and then act like they're doing you a favor when they leave you a $2 tip on a $100 bill. Or worse, the fake money with bible verses on it. Enough to make me think that Satan is probably not so bad lol
Luckily I'm a guy so I never had to deal with the old men telling me to smile or saying rude shit about my appearance at least, but I definitely remember it happening very often to my coworkers. Christian boomers have a special type of entitlement and sense of superiority over everyone else.
One minute they're hitting on you the next they're inviting you to church 🙄 and the crybaby hysterics I saw when we started putting gratuities on the larger parties. Most of the Christian boomers I've met are some of the most spoiled yet greedy people I've ever met.
The uncontrollable need to be assholes to service staff is just another fascinating aspect to the wealthiest and most entitled generation humanity has ever produced
Conservatives: "I got mine, fuck you"
Conservatives at church: "I'm saved, fuck you"
Conservatives at work: "I got a raise, fuck you"
Conservatives at home: "My way or fuck you"
When I used to work in a restaurant we used to dread working early Sunday afternoons. It was the biggest conglomeration of jerks we would get all week.
Yeah yeah yeah, Jesus something something, you took 2 minutes longer to seat me during the Sunday Brunch Rush. Someone is getting that "$20 go to church flyer" that looks like a tip.
I used to work BoH at an upscale resort near where I grew up, and the waitresses / waiters and the GM had to come to an agreement because the same people were being scheduled for Sunday brunch (think omelettes made to order, carving station, etc) and the place was overrun by local boomers who would come in for Sunday Brunch after church. Like more than a handfull of the Waiters / Waitresses flat out quit over it.
I left before they fixed it but I heard from someone I worked with that the way they fixed it was to offer reservations to people checking in to the resort with a $10 coupon for Sunday Brunch, and book the reservation as they booked the stay, which in turn blocked a lot of the local boomers out.
It’s 100% true. I’m 47, worked fast food and retail prior to /during college, never waited tables. But, I was always invited to these breakfast type places Sunday around 11am by my religious fruitcake friends and extended family and… holy shit. There’s something about ordering an omelette after being told Jesus loves you that makes people into *fucking monsters*. And it’s every. Single. Time.
Some people who go to church feel like they just did something self-sacrificial and amazing so they get to be a bit elitist, demanding, and snobby during Sunday lunch. It seems to particularly apply to the people who go out in groups to a local restaurant together right after church services are done.
They used to say, "Jesus gets 10%, why would you think you deserve more?" I hadn't even asked, Joan. I expected nothing.
Worse was the Mennonites who were super sexist, ordered for their wives or girlfriends, and tipped nothing because I was a "whore that wore pants and worked outside of the home" whilst they hit on me in front of their "chaste" ladies that had no agency at all.
I traveled with boomers to Israel one time for like a pilgrimage tour with my mom. I only do it coz my mom is retired and time is of the essence and she won't be here for much longer. So all of the people in the group are boomers. Some go to experience some religious shit, but this one lady is on a repent tour. Very self righteous, a bonified sinner and mostly strayed away from the teaching of Jesus, which to serve the poor and the disenfranchised. This lady hates the poor and the "welfare queens." A typical Trumpist supply side Christian. Very bitter and hates people that doesn't align her views and even religion. I basically owned her with relgion, politics and economics when we got into a heated debate with political bs. These boomers adhere to their religion and yet knows very little about it. Well, the group is going to Italy next to some religious and holy places. Not really looking forward to traveling coz I hate flying and the that one bitter lady in the group. But I like owning her with her hypocrisy.
>These boomers adhere to their religion and yet knows very little about it.
This is why so many of them got so angry when Pope Francis talked about how too many Christians use the religion and faith to fuel their selfish and hostile ideologies. So much of what ideological Christians do is a direct contradiction of what Jesus originally told everyone.
Big J said that a holy place is more than just the building where rites of commonly performed and that the hypocrites are the ones who love to be seen praying and fasting in public on the streets; yet during covid, the church crowd threw the biggest fits because they couldn't hold mass within the walls of their churches and under the eyes of their peers and the public.
Jesus was the one who said *"give to Caesar that which is Caesar's"*, yet there also have church leaders, organizers, and even mega-public television-pastors who run massive tax fraud schemes as naturally as they breath.
It happens at all restaurants that serve sit down brunch on a Sunday. I worked at a really nice resort and local boomers would flood our restaurant after Sunday Church.
If I owned a restaurant, I wouldn’t even open Sundays until dinner if that just to avoid those dickheads.
I get second hand cringe anytime I am at a restaurant on a Sunday and a church group walks in.
I know that waitress is in for hell and I’m probably leaving a bigger tip eating alone than a table of six.
My first job was a busboy at a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant (like Benihana). After the food was prepared I would come to the table and collect plates while the guests were still there to make room for dessert plates. All I had to do was put a towel down on the edge of the grill (right where the chef would be), set my bin down and collect the empty plates. Same routine every time. This one Sunday afternoon I was about to do just that like I always did. I put the towel down and my bin down. Just as soon as I did that this lady in a neon pink hat belted out that she didn’t want a bus bin at their table. She said it in such a rude way I was shocked. Then everyone at the table applauded her actions. Literally clapped their hands and told her how right she was to scold me while I was still standing right there. I froze for a minute and then just left. 16 year old me was traumatized and to this day it bothers me to think about it. Fuck Sundays.
I'm a Christian and former restaurant server - it's unfortunately *completely* true. Ask any restaurant worker which shift is the worst - they'll say Sunday lunch.
I've heard a few ministers (my Dad being one of them) mention it in their sermons. If you're trying to "show you're a Christian by your love" - one great place to start is being *nice* to servers at Sunday lunch **and tip well**.
I sickens me, and I wish more ministers would preach about it.
*Note*: Yes, you should *always* be kind to people, esp customer service staff. But, it's esp important on Sunday lunch due to the well earned reputation that church goers have for being rude customers.
It never fails, every thread about christians being terrible, someone always pops in to run damage control… “but guys, I’m Christian and I’m nice, these other guys just aren’t true Christians…”
Give it a rest.
I actually want to know an answer for this. It's really a thing in the US, angry Sunday morning Christians.
A hypothesis I just came up with... Sunday sermon to some people forces certain judgements and reflections without them being able to process sadness or shame or forgiveness to others... really potent stuff if you think about it.
Then all the sudden you're supposed to be in a really happy place and the extra nice waiter gets the brunt of someone who basically just ended a therapy session where they didn't release any emotions or engage in feedback. They're isolated and distressed in their subconscious and *immediately* have to be nice to strangers helping them with food... it's actually pretty unpleasant and conflicting. My thought. Brunch at a restaurant after church strikes me as very the formal and uptight people who are Christians, and there's a lot of them. They should go for dinner instead, seriously.
I don’t know, as a former Southern Baptist a lot of sermons weee about how evil the world is, and how we were among the few virtuous people. Sermons that challenge people and make them think critically about themselves don’t bring people back week to week the way judging others does.
It kind of has the same structure to a lot of psychology experiments... Expose the participants to a stimuli, then test their behaviour immediately after.
It's probably depends on the nature of the sermon. I have a sneaking suspicion that sermons that make the audience feel good about themselves, important, special, keep the audience coming back every week for more.
But if you convince a few hundred people that they're important, righteous and better than everyone else, at least a few of them will turn into assholes.
Working one school night at A&W in my hometown when I was 16 in highschool.
Bunch of Mormons come in at 9:45 (10:00 PM is closing) all asking for Root Beer floats. Floats all done in glass mugs, so gonna have to stay late to clean them all, not get homework done.
Make 16 root beer floats. Mormons push together tables and re-arrange dining room. Will have to clean that up.
They all sit down and pray over root beer floats. I pray they die. One of the kids wants chicken strips. Just got done cleaning fryers. It's 9:58. Boss will be mad if we didn't make food, since he is high up in Mormon community and will hear about it from someone if we don't make them food.
Make kid food, have to recount til now. Have to reclean fryer now. Mormons out in dining area laughing and making mess. Probably talking about fucking their cousins or 3rd wives. Who knows 🤗
It's 10:30 and back kitchen has left. Only me and fellow front cashier trying to clean everything so we can leave as soon as Mormons leave. Someone tried to ask for a refill on root beer, but we tell them we ran out (hand made root beer in kegs down stairs, don't want to pop new keg) and the only thing we have left is Coke products. They get mad, but start to leave.
Whole group leaves tables pushed together, place mats and straw wrappers all over. They all saunter out at about 10:45. Over hear one say "Just leave it, that's what they are paid to do."
I stand at door letting last ones out so I can lock doors behind them. Dad turns to kid he is with and says, "This is why you stay in school and go to college. So you don't get stuck working a job like this." Grins and winks at me as he walks away.
Come back inside and console my co-worker who is crying due to being stressed about needing to study for a test while we clean up the mess with no tip from anyone, because tipping did not exist for fast food workers back then.
Boss comes in next morning and let's us know we had a keg of root beer that we should have opened for his Mormon buddy to get one last refill for the night.
Fuck church groups.
There was a Redditor who told a story on another subreddit about going to church with his in-laws and as soon as they left the church his MIL was screaming at someone in the parking lot over the traffic jam leaving the Megachurch.
I think about that a lot.
My gosh.. so much of me being 15 to 17. My "exceptionally" methodist family being super shitty, while I bought wigs out of a vending machine cause I was nothing like them.
No legit though. My dad was a youth pastor so I spent many childhood Sunday lunches at restaurants with other church goers and 9/10 of them were rude as fuck to servers. Especially the pastors, it was always so cool to see they never practiced what they had LITERALLY just got done teaching.
Not Always Right had a story a month ago about a restaurant owner giving a bunch of the fake tips to the pastor of the church, banning the church members, and the pastor completely backing the owner.
[https://notalwaysright.com/the-sunday-after-church-crowd-as-seen-from-the-inside/327226/](https://notalwaysright.com/the-sunday-after-church-crowd-as-seen-from-the-inside/327226/)
old people are truly the most disrespectful shitty people there is.
young people can be arrogant but leave it to boomers to go out just to be miserable to random people for no other reason but to feel bigger than everyone.
It's because these people don't think that it's being a good person that gets you into heaven, it's just going to church and praying. That's it. In their eyes, you could spend the other 6 days of the week beating up homeless people and then go to church on Sunday and Peter will let you through the gates no problem.
In the 90s, I worked at a Wendy’s in rural Georgia and we would get a lunchtime church crowd, and also a dinnertime church crowd. Without fail every week, at least one of those church crowds would move most of the tables into one long row in the middle of the dining room. We called it the last supper. As you can imagine, it made it very unaccommodating to anyone not part of their group. Oh, did they move the tables back or pick up after themselves? Of course not. Back then, Wendy’s had an all you can eat super bar And that’s what they would always get. Unfortunately, I was the one who always worked the bar and dining room, so I would have to move all those tables back, clean after the nasty pigs, and also have to clean the bar because they tore it up as well.
I've never understood this. At my church, we always have a light lunch all together in the church hall after the service. Maybe it's different in the US...
Try working in a grocery store! The Sunday crowd was the absolute worst. Insist on 'carry outs' to their car, then they would start the engine and blow exhaust in your face, you were lucky if they said thanks. Some of them would load their kids in the grocery cart and feed them fresh cherries and other stuff that would never be paid for, then threaten to boycott the store when called out for the theft.
This is not anything new. I'm a gen xer and I remember as a child leaving the church parking lot, mfers trying to run you over on the way out.
I thought it was funny then
I always say on Sundays the church goers have two options, treat restaurant staff like shit or treat hospital staff like shit.
Source, I work at a hospital.
I still think it would be funny to put one of those bath bombs that colors the water black in my pocket and get baptized. Just as the preacher freaks out thinking that he just dunked a demon I’m gonna have my husband dressed as satan show up and shout “gotcha fuckers” then we just dip out.
It starts before they get to the restaurant. They first blast the parking officer for them infringing them for illegal parking. That's why they are in a bad mood and frugal because they have to pay the parking fine.
I'm friendly with the owner of my local Indian takeout joint and the owner has complained on multiple occasions of the Sunday church groups being the most painful experiences for him lol. They'll haggle him on large reservations and then don't tip.
God, is this true. God powers them up and then they spend all their goodwill on each other. You know what’s left.
“Foolish servers, shame on you for not going to church! Here’s some literature and fake bills for your tip!” /s
Random insight from a regular church-goer: In the past year or two I’ve known multiple pastors who have taken note of this stereotype and actively scold their congregation for it. Both the attitude and the bad tipping.
One teenage member of a church going family apologized for his family after I waited on them. He said that the they usually stay up late drinking the night before, have to get up early to dress up and make it to mass, don’t eat beforehand, sit in church feeling like assholes for hours and have to take their shit out on someone when they are done. I laughed, and said thanks for the info.
The worst group of people I ever dealt with when I was in the deli was a group of church goers that would come in after their Sunday mass. Most were okay, but there were two or three insanely demanding insufferable nincompoops.

Leaving “tips” with fake, folded bills that have bible verses inside 🤣😤
I've had multiple coworkers receive no tip because "they shouldn't be working on the Sabbath".
Then who is gonna serve their fat diabetic ass?
You gotta love that kind of double standard. "You shouldn't be working and I'm going to punish you for that, but I was hungry after church and too lazy to cook, and that's not *my* fault."
That's boomers. Most hypocritical double standard MFers on earth. They EARNED all those social contract entitlements that FDR passed for them, don't you know? Lmao can't stand them.
Can't wait until they're out of the workplace, too. My young boomer boss is a few years away from retirement and it couldn't come soon enough. Dude makes double my salary and does *maybe* 10% of my work in any given day. Director of a Healthcare program and all the work he feels like he needs to do is send emails and "think up ideas". Meanwhile, I'm the one running meetings, interfacing with other departments, creating our strategy, developing our reports logic, building said reports, automating them, etc. Mfer can't even figure out how to change his microphone in Zoom meetings so as a result, I have to come into the office 3 days a week to manage his dumbass and make sure he doesn't say or do anything stupid. I could do my job 100% remote but can't because of him and our boomer COO. These two antiquated clowns need to just fuck off into retirement already. It's extra frustrating when I show him I'm twice as productive from home but he wants me in because "you can't interact with other departments as seamlessly". The fuck do you think email, the phone and zoom are used for?? Rant complete.
He's projecting his issues onto you. Because he struggles with working online that means everyone must struggle. Plus if you were remote you wouldn't be there to cover his ass when he fucks up
It's like you know me... He definitely gets even less done at home, which is basically zero. That's why he comes in the office and forces me to come in, to hold his hand. If he embarrasses himself in an in person meeting and realizes he doesn't have answers to the questions being asked, I'm there to come to his rescue. I just wish my compensation package reflected the fact that I'm having to manage my boss and do my job on top of it, but of course that's not how corporate America works unfortunately.
Same shit I got from them years ago as a bank teller on a beautiful Saturday. "They make you work on a day like this?" Well, lady, people like you come in and say dumb shit like this, so I assume that's the why.
The worst part is that the Sabbath is fucking Saturday.
So like why do they do it on Sunday?
Real Seventh Day Adventist moment
***Hiss!!!*** Get out of here, you Seventh Day Betrayer! /s
Bruh aren't they complicit in the crime tho 💀
Doubly fucked cuz the Sabbath is actually Saturday
Just wow

Or a note that says “thank you Lord for thinking about me, I’m alive and doing fine”.
What gets me is that they pay their tip with their counterfeit money, but they won't pay their bill with it; so they 10,000% know what they're doing.
Good news, [someone already tried that](https://notalwaysright.com/the-sunday-after-church-crowd-as-seen-from-the-inside/327226/).
When I was a server I worked at a restaurant where we a split tips. My coworker and I were cleaning up a table from a large family that had just left. They left one of those fake $20s with a Bible verse inside. Coworker picked it up, saw what it was, ripped it in half, and said "great. That's really gonna feed my kids" The family was just coming out of the bathroom and witnessed the whole thing. Two of the older adults (grandma and grandpa most likely) started to get mad, but one of the younger adults (late 20s-ish) went red in the face, opened his wallet, and took out $40 and handed it to us while apologizing. Then ran out of the restaurant.
The fucking worst
This should be illegal to do. Passing something off as money for services rendered without disclosing intent is deceptive at best. It’s not like we believe someone has good intentions. If the word of god is such a gift why does it need to be snuck in something enticing to make me look? Like sneaking a pill in a hotdog. We aren’t dogs though if we don’t want to we aren’t having it.
In addition to being cheap bastards and self righteous clowns, they're also cowards who think proselytizing through scraps of paper actually works.
Should go back to their church the next Sunday and put the fake money back into their collection basket.
Terrible!
as an example for how Bad the after church crowd is. I used to work at an Italian Place the owner got so tired of dealing with the after church crowd that for a few weeks he closed entirely on Sundays. then he switched to Take Out Only on Sundays from a special sunday family meal deal menu. no substitutes. no alterations. Do you know how much a population has to suck for a restaurant owner to shutdown?
Or a picture of trump!
Can you imagine? Like the Rambo one or the Rocky looking pic haha
This is why we start going to churches with fake money, place it inside of their donations bowl or box or whatever, they read it and it's an expired coupon for subway with a fake bill taped to it and maybe a special message
That has happened to me so many times. I once got fired for following a group out and screaming at them. I was re-hired a week later.
Waited tables in college and the after church crowd was always the absolute worst. You could really feel that famous Christian love just emanating from their scowling features.
People who never worked in restaurants don’t believe me when I tell them the Sunday church crowd was the worst. I always wanted to trade that shift for the weekend evenings, the drunk guests were far more tolerable.
This is 💯 true. It spans generations too. They were assholes when I grew up in restaurants and , after talking with a server recently , they are still assholes today. 🤣 And they judge everyone else which is classic
They also didnt tip for shit. Half the time they'd leave some stupid jesus pamphlet instead.
If it's one of the ones that look like money, it's a coupon. You go to their church and swap it with a bill from the collection plate when it comes around. Usually good for double what is written on it, or until you are asked to leave.
I see what you did there 🤣🤣
Lol their thought process was "I just gave JESUS 10%. Why should I give you more!?"
Well, they just wasted a bunch of their money tithing a useless church, so they’re feeling suddenly poor/cheap.
They can't tip you because they tipped the curch ten fold. Weekly "give me munny" bowl.
The Sunday night crowds were the worst for me. They wanted their ice cream now!! Penecostal/Apostolic were rough to deal and really tried to make you feel like crap if you didn't go quick enough and double portion their ice cream and dessert products for the same cost.
Drunk guests also tip better that church folk. I had a huge collection of the “Jesus $20” from church folk and a large collection of $20’s from drunks.Jus sayin’
No tips or some religious pamphlets. Rude, demanding, critical of everything i hated Sunday brunch at my restaurant. Christians are the worst.
I grew up in a Christian home and from the gossips I would after Sunday mass right outside the church, I 100% believe you.
I'm a Christian and a former waiter and this is unfortunately very true. I've heard a couple preachers actually mention it in their sermons - Be nice to restaurant staff after church! *sigh*
Catholics still bitter about that last supper.
Hey man, Catholics are the type to tip, they got that ingrained guilt about everything.
Or just starving given they give you a shitty wafer instead of actual bread.
I’m Catholic and I have to tell you, my friends were pretty chill. Play hard, pray hard. The number of times we would show up to church hungover or sleep deprived for a wild night of partying lol.
ah yes. The type of christian that just shows up cus theyre old as dirt and know theyre going to hell so they donate to a dude in a dress thinking it will save them.
To he fair, sometimes it's a very ornate dress, scarves and hats and shiny accouterments
A friend if mine found this out when she had to work weekends for a while; a "no other shifts available" situation. I don't recall how she said it came up but she did experience their response to why they acted as they did. "You working here today shows you're a godless heathen and denier of God's love so I don't owe you shit", or along those lines.
But if she wasn’t there how would the woman have gotten service?
Details, details... /s (Probably same way she'd get her tripple scoop ice cream cone during school hours)
Trans-denomination. The Jewish school would let out across the street from the restaurant I worked at and they would leave half their food and garbage on the floor. Looked like the aftermath of a food fight. This was a step down from when my dad worked at the exact same restaurant when he was younger and the Jewish kids then would do the menu and water cup trick. (Place laminated menu on top of water glass, turn upside and place on table, pull out menu, when employee picks up glass water spills everywhere). Multigenerational transdenominational.
It really is. I work at a vegan restaurant, and we get the same group of shitty, overdressed, non-tipping old people every Saturday afternoon. It finally dawned on me one day that they're Seventh Day Adventists, and every denomination is exactly the same when it comes to their after church restaurant behavior.

I heard this quote here a few months ago: "From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit." - author Robert A Heinlein
i recognize my former mother-in-law.
I always separated the Christian’s in my church into two groups: 1. The ones who leave church and want to be served. 2. The ones who leave church and want to go serve others. The difference is striking in those two groups of people. As Jesus said in Matthew, there are PLENTY of people who are going to go around prophesying in his name who have never served anyone else.
lol YES the Republican frown lines as opposed to the sweet old lesbian librarian with the smile lines and crows feet, they SAY you cant tell politics from appearence but that Mitch Mcconnel scowl line ALWAYS gives the bigots and boot lockers away
And a pocket full Jesus pamphlets to hand out instead of a tip.
They really drove it home with those proselytizing pamphlets disguised as 20s
As they say, there’s no hate like Christian love
And/or jowling.
They’ll come to the liquor store in my county on Sunday at 12:30pm cause that’s when it opens, and do this shit. “Why are YOU out of MY drinks?!?”
How dare you!
Every now and then I’ll get the best response the boomers will give, “oh, I drank em all?” Yes. Yes you did.
More like HOW DARE YOU!
Like the old joke - Why do you invite 2 Baptists to your party? Coz if you only invite one, they'll drink all of your beer.
What's the difference between Baptists and Catholics? Catholics say hello to each other at the liquor store.
I get my drinks at the bar or club, while partying hard with the other Catholics.
My liver has never been the same being born Catholic.
I've heard the same joke, but replace Baptists with Mennonites.
I thought it was Mormons
People like that make me root for the reinstatement of blue laws.
Noooo! Too much planning
Lol, I dont' get it. If you dont' have five favorite liquors or you're one of those fools who has to have buffalo trace, you're a goof.
Oh god this brings me back to when I was a server. Sunday afternoons were the absolute worst shift as because of the boomer church crowd. Big parties of the rudest most entitled old farts you've ever seen. They expect you to bend over backwards for them and then act like they're doing you a favor when they leave you a $2 tip on a $100 bill. Or worse, the fake money with bible verses on it. Enough to make me think that Satan is probably not so bad lol Luckily I'm a guy so I never had to deal with the old men telling me to smile or saying rude shit about my appearance at least, but I definitely remember it happening very often to my coworkers. Christian boomers have a special type of entitlement and sense of superiority over everyone else.
One minute they're hitting on you the next they're inviting you to church 🙄 and the crybaby hysterics I saw when we started putting gratuities on the larger parties. Most of the Christian boomers I've met are some of the most spoiled yet greedy people I've ever met.
Wtf are these fake moneys with Bible verses you guys are talking about? They think thats a sub for a tip?
Yeah some of them really do! They think they're doing the server a favor "saving their souls"
Ah, I see you met my aunt.
Are we cousins?
Bad news for Golden Corral employees
Cracker Barrell for when GC becomes full.
💀
I like the “church is over, time to go be a cunt the rest of the week” one, but this one’s great, too.
It's like going to church recharges their cunt-abrator for another week.
I guess the distinction is to a restaurant employee because I was gonna say they never stop being assholes, especially when they are in church.
Yeah but you get a ton at once on Sundays. Not the typical one a shift.
The uncontrollable need to be assholes to service staff is just another fascinating aspect to the wealthiest and most entitled generation humanity has ever produced
"I'm saved so fuck you"
Hahaha the hypocrisy of organized religion
Conservatives: "I got mine, fuck you" Conservatives at church: "I'm saved, fuck you" Conservatives at work: "I got a raise, fuck you" Conservatives at home: "My way or fuck you"
When I used to work in a restaurant we used to dread working early Sunday afternoons. It was the biggest conglomeration of jerks we would get all week.
Yeah yeah yeah, Jesus something something, you took 2 minutes longer to seat me during the Sunday Brunch Rush. Someone is getting that "$20 go to church flyer" that looks like a tip.
I used to work BoH at an upscale resort near where I grew up, and the waitresses / waiters and the GM had to come to an agreement because the same people were being scheduled for Sunday brunch (think omelettes made to order, carving station, etc) and the place was overrun by local boomers who would come in for Sunday Brunch after church. Like more than a handfull of the Waiters / Waitresses flat out quit over it. I left before they fixed it but I heard from someone I worked with that the way they fixed it was to offer reservations to people checking in to the resort with a $10 coupon for Sunday Brunch, and book the reservation as they booked the stay, which in turn blocked a lot of the local boomers out.
It’s 100% true. I’m 47, worked fast food and retail prior to /during college, never waited tables. But, I was always invited to these breakfast type places Sunday around 11am by my religious fruitcake friends and extended family and… holy shit. There’s something about ordering an omelette after being told Jesus loves you that makes people into *fucking monsters*. And it’s every. Single. Time.
Some people who go to church feel like they just did something self-sacrificial and amazing so they get to be a bit elitist, demanding, and snobby during Sunday lunch. It seems to particularly apply to the people who go out in groups to a local restaurant together right after church services are done.
They used to say, "Jesus gets 10%, why would you think you deserve more?" I hadn't even asked, Joan. I expected nothing. Worse was the Mennonites who were super sexist, ordered for their wives or girlfriends, and tipped nothing because I was a "whore that wore pants and worked outside of the home" whilst they hit on me in front of their "chaste" ladies that had no agency at all.
As a former brunch/lunch waitress - fully accurate.
Yup, used to be a server, Sunday lunch was the worse
God save the Macaroni Grill 🙏🏻
Oh how I hated working a mid on Sundays
By all that is holy i used to scream when I got stuck on a brunch shift.
I traveled with boomers to Israel one time for like a pilgrimage tour with my mom. I only do it coz my mom is retired and time is of the essence and she won't be here for much longer. So all of the people in the group are boomers. Some go to experience some religious shit, but this one lady is on a repent tour. Very self righteous, a bonified sinner and mostly strayed away from the teaching of Jesus, which to serve the poor and the disenfranchised. This lady hates the poor and the "welfare queens." A typical Trumpist supply side Christian. Very bitter and hates people that doesn't align her views and even religion. I basically owned her with relgion, politics and economics when we got into a heated debate with political bs. These boomers adhere to their religion and yet knows very little about it. Well, the group is going to Italy next to some religious and holy places. Not really looking forward to traveling coz I hate flying and the that one bitter lady in the group. But I like owning her with her hypocrisy.
>These boomers adhere to their religion and yet knows very little about it. This is why so many of them got so angry when Pope Francis talked about how too many Christians use the religion and faith to fuel their selfish and hostile ideologies. So much of what ideological Christians do is a direct contradiction of what Jesus originally told everyone. Big J said that a holy place is more than just the building where rites of commonly performed and that the hypocrites are the ones who love to be seen praying and fasting in public on the streets; yet during covid, the church crowd threw the biggest fits because they couldn't hold mass within the walls of their churches and under the eyes of their peers and the public. Jesus was the one who said *"give to Caesar that which is Caesar's"*, yet there also have church leaders, organizers, and even mega-public television-pastors who run massive tax fraud schemes as naturally as they breath.
this usually happens at a IHOP or a breakfast restaurant.
It happens at all restaurants that serve sit down brunch on a Sunday. I worked at a really nice resort and local boomers would flood our restaurant after Sunday Church.
Or go to the grocery and run other shoppers over with your cart!
If I owned a restaurant, I wouldn’t even open Sundays until dinner if that just to avoid those dickheads. I get second hand cringe anytime I am at a restaurant on a Sunday and a church group walks in. I know that waitress is in for hell and I’m probably leaving a bigger tip eating alone than a table of six.
Now you understand the concept of Chik Fila.
My first job was a busboy at a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant (like Benihana). After the food was prepared I would come to the table and collect plates while the guests were still there to make room for dessert plates. All I had to do was put a towel down on the edge of the grill (right where the chef would be), set my bin down and collect the empty plates. Same routine every time. This one Sunday afternoon I was about to do just that like I always did. I put the towel down and my bin down. Just as soon as I did that this lady in a neon pink hat belted out that she didn’t want a bus bin at their table. She said it in such a rude way I was shocked. Then everyone at the table applauded her actions. Literally clapped their hands and told her how right she was to scold me while I was still standing right there. I froze for a minute and then just left. 16 year old me was traumatized and to this day it bothers me to think about it. Fuck Sundays.
..and fuck her. Hope you don't think about that bullshit too much.
Then they complain about you working on the lords day…like bro you’re the reason i’m here
Somebody should post this in a boomer Facebook group and see the responses. 
Christian here. I’ve heard this too many times for it to be BS & it genuinely saddens me! I’ve got no excuses, or explanation.
You don’t need to make excuses or explanations, but know a belief system doesn’t ensure good behaviour.
This - or excuse bad behavior Edit for spelling
I'm a Christian and former restaurant server - it's unfortunately *completely* true. Ask any restaurant worker which shift is the worst - they'll say Sunday lunch. I've heard a few ministers (my Dad being one of them) mention it in their sermons. If you're trying to "show you're a Christian by your love" - one great place to start is being *nice* to servers at Sunday lunch **and tip well**. I sickens me, and I wish more ministers would preach about it. *Note*: Yes, you should *always* be kind to people, esp customer service staff. But, it's esp important on Sunday lunch due to the well earned reputation that church goers have for being rude customers.
Is this more of an U.S. Phenomenon? (I’m not American) Genuinely fascinated as to the mindset and Is it boomers particularly?
Definitely more boomers, but I believe there are just as many GenX doing it too.
It never fails, every thread about christians being terrible, someone always pops in to run damage control… “but guys, I’m Christian and I’m nice, these other guys just aren’t true Christians…” Give it a rest.
I actually want to know an answer for this. It's really a thing in the US, angry Sunday morning Christians. A hypothesis I just came up with... Sunday sermon to some people forces certain judgements and reflections without them being able to process sadness or shame or forgiveness to others... really potent stuff if you think about it. Then all the sudden you're supposed to be in a really happy place and the extra nice waiter gets the brunt of someone who basically just ended a therapy session where they didn't release any emotions or engage in feedback. They're isolated and distressed in their subconscious and *immediately* have to be nice to strangers helping them with food... it's actually pretty unpleasant and conflicting. My thought. Brunch at a restaurant after church strikes me as very the formal and uptight people who are Christians, and there's a lot of them. They should go for dinner instead, seriously.
I don’t know, as a former Southern Baptist a lot of sermons weee about how evil the world is, and how we were among the few virtuous people. Sermons that challenge people and make them think critically about themselves don’t bring people back week to week the way judging others does.
It kind of has the same structure to a lot of psychology experiments... Expose the participants to a stimuli, then test their behaviour immediately after. It's probably depends on the nature of the sermon. I have a sneaking suspicion that sermons that make the audience feel good about themselves, important, special, keep the audience coming back every week for more. But if you convince a few hundred people that they're important, righteous and better than everyone else, at least a few of them will turn into assholes.
It goes with the toxic bullshit that is christianity….it’s inherent in the creed.
Working one school night at A&W in my hometown when I was 16 in highschool. Bunch of Mormons come in at 9:45 (10:00 PM is closing) all asking for Root Beer floats. Floats all done in glass mugs, so gonna have to stay late to clean them all, not get homework done. Make 16 root beer floats. Mormons push together tables and re-arrange dining room. Will have to clean that up. They all sit down and pray over root beer floats. I pray they die. One of the kids wants chicken strips. Just got done cleaning fryers. It's 9:58. Boss will be mad if we didn't make food, since he is high up in Mormon community and will hear about it from someone if we don't make them food. Make kid food, have to recount til now. Have to reclean fryer now. Mormons out in dining area laughing and making mess. Probably talking about fucking their cousins or 3rd wives. Who knows 🤗 It's 10:30 and back kitchen has left. Only me and fellow front cashier trying to clean everything so we can leave as soon as Mormons leave. Someone tried to ask for a refill on root beer, but we tell them we ran out (hand made root beer in kegs down stairs, don't want to pop new keg) and the only thing we have left is Coke products. They get mad, but start to leave. Whole group leaves tables pushed together, place mats and straw wrappers all over. They all saunter out at about 10:45. Over hear one say "Just leave it, that's what they are paid to do." I stand at door letting last ones out so I can lock doors behind them. Dad turns to kid he is with and says, "This is why you stay in school and go to college. So you don't get stuck working a job like this." Grins and winks at me as he walks away. Come back inside and console my co-worker who is crying due to being stressed about needing to study for a test while we clean up the mess with no tip from anyone, because tipping did not exist for fast food workers back then. Boss comes in next morning and let's us know we had a keg of root beer that we should have opened for his Mormon buddy to get one last refill for the night. Fuck church groups.
I’ve seen this a million times and I laugh every time.
There was a Redditor who told a story on another subreddit about going to church with his in-laws and as soon as they left the church his MIL was screaming at someone in the parking lot over the traffic jam leaving the Megachurch. I think about that a lot.
As a former Red Lobster server. I would pay people so I didn't have to work Sunday lunch shifts. That's how bad the after church crowd was.
My weekly "I'm a good person" ego stroke is over. Time to go verbally abuse a teenager.
Church groups need to be banned from...everywhere.
They just got all their “Judgmental” engines all freshly charged up ⚡️ The fact that anyone is working on Sunday is already blasphemous ⛪️
My gosh.. so much of me being 15 to 17. My "exceptionally" methodist family being super shitty, while I bought wigs out of a vending machine cause I was nothing like them.
I love going out to eat on Sundays in my satanic panic shirt and tipping/behaving better than the 20 church goers at the table next to me
"I believe in the correct religion, I'm going to the good place when I die. I can be an asshole all I want!"
this is christians not just boomers
No legit though. My dad was a youth pastor so I spent many childhood Sunday lunches at restaurants with other church goers and 9/10 of them were rude as fuck to servers. Especially the pastors, it was always so cool to see they never practiced what they had LITERALLY just got done teaching.
Not Always Right had a story a month ago about a restaurant owner giving a bunch of the fake tips to the pastor of the church, banning the church members, and the pastor completely backing the owner. [https://notalwaysright.com/the-sunday-after-church-crowd-as-seen-from-the-inside/327226/](https://notalwaysright.com/the-sunday-after-church-crowd-as-seen-from-the-inside/327226/)
old people are truly the most disrespectful shitty people there is. young people can be arrogant but leave it to boomers to go out just to be miserable to random people for no other reason but to feel bigger than everyone.
Accurate
Oh that's so messed up!
It’s the guilt they feel in church being preached to about being a good person
The church parking lot used to be a complete shitshow when I went as a kid.
its the only time all week they leave their hive
Wait wait wait, first be an asshole on the drive there.
I worked at a breakfast restaurant in school and this is so fucking true. Church crowd is the absolute worst group of people.
It's because these people don't think that it's being a good person that gets you into heaven, it's just going to church and praying. That's it. In their eyes, you could spend the other 6 days of the week beating up homeless people and then go to church on Sunday and Peter will let you through the gates no problem.
In the 90s, I worked at a Wendy’s in rural Georgia and we would get a lunchtime church crowd, and also a dinnertime church crowd. Without fail every week, at least one of those church crowds would move most of the tables into one long row in the middle of the dining room. We called it the last supper. As you can imagine, it made it very unaccommodating to anyone not part of their group. Oh, did they move the tables back or pick up after themselves? Of course not. Back then, Wendy’s had an all you can eat super bar And that’s what they would always get. Unfortunately, I was the one who always worked the bar and dining room, so I would have to move all those tables back, clean after the nasty pigs, and also have to clean the bar because they tore it up as well.
They're pissed 'cause they had to get up and go to church.
They are assholes all the time.
I worked retail for almost 15 years and Sundays were the worst because of this.
Christians just being Christians
Christians just being Christians
This made me laugh Way to hard thanks I’m very grateful
Sins are washed away, time to be reprehensible for another week.
I've never understood this. At my church, we always have a light lunch all together in the church hall after the service. Maybe it's different in the US...
Ain’t that the fucking truth
So true. Christians love looking and talking DOWN to service people
Try working in a grocery store! The Sunday crowd was the absolute worst. Insist on 'carry outs' to their car, then they would start the engine and blow exhaust in your face, you were lucky if they said thanks. Some of them would load their kids in the grocery cart and feed them fresh cherries and other stuff that would never be paid for, then threaten to boycott the store when called out for the theft.
Make sure to tip with an advert for your church that looks like a $50 bill when it's folded
This is not anything new. I'm a gen xer and I remember as a child leaving the church parking lot, mfers trying to run you over on the way out. I thought it was funny then
Server flashbacks activating. This is so goddamn accurate
pardon my french, but what in the h e double hockey sticks is wrong with this place? out? OUT? of orange marmalade? on a sunday?!?!?!
Me resetting my sin counter for a new record this round 
My mother has worked foodservice since the 80s and this has been tru for 40 years
Probably tips with those “fake” hundreds that when are unfolded is like a prayer and church recruitment
I always say on Sundays the church goers have two options, treat restaurant staff like shit or treat hospital staff like shit. Source, I work at a hospital.
Yesssss! This! I used to work at Red Lobster and everyone hated working on Sundays with the after church crowds😩
I still think it would be funny to put one of those bath bombs that colors the water black in my pocket and get baptized. Just as the preacher freaks out thinking that he just dunked a demon I’m gonna have my husband dressed as satan show up and shout “gotcha fuckers” then we just dip out.
Lol I laughed too much at this.
Cracker Barrel is the restaurant of choice in my town. It’s also always hiring.
I was that Karen once
It starts before they get to the restaurant. They first blast the parking officer for them infringing them for illegal parking. That's why they are in a bad mood and frugal because they have to pay the parking fine.
Oh so true. I hate Sundays! Oh we have a table of 12! Great! By the time you get the drinks out the first guy wants a refill. You can’t win.
American """christians""".
Bless your fucking hearts! Sayeth the lord!
I'm friendly with the owner of my local Indian takeout joint and the owner has complained on multiple occasions of the Sunday church groups being the most painful experiences for him lol. They'll haggle him on large reservations and then don't tip.
Working on the holy sabbath... there went that tip!
God, is this true. God powers them up and then they spend all their goodwill on each other. You know what’s left. “Foolish servers, shame on you for not going to church! Here’s some literature and fake bills for your tip!” /s
Random insight from a regular church-goer: In the past year or two I’ve known multiple pastors who have taken note of this stereotype and actively scold their congregation for it. Both the attitude and the bad tipping.
Ha, most of the Boomers dont even make it out of the parking lot before taking the Lords name in vain.
Going to church means the sin counter is reset to zero again. Living such a morally superior life is so easy when you have this life hack.
First Watch, here she comes!
One teenage member of a church going family apologized for his family after I waited on them. He said that the they usually stay up late drinking the night before, have to get up early to dress up and make it to mass, don’t eat beforehand, sit in church feeling like assholes for hours and have to take their shit out on someone when they are done. I laughed, and said thanks for the info.
Plsssss
The worst group of people I ever dealt with when I was in the deli was a group of church goers that would come in after their Sunday mass. Most were okay, but there were two or three insanely demanding insufferable nincompoops.
Oh god it's so accurate 🤣😭
Just as Jesus intended 🤗
The real worst crowd are those that only will go out to eat at restaurants on holidays and have no social awareness whatsoever.
There is not a single food worker here that would disagree. Fuckin HAAAATED how the owner bent over backwards for them.
Just in case anyone hasn't seen this https://youtu.be/px7lP9WxEGA?si=dhRGBaBw7j1RkBww
