The Applebee’s employee who posted the picture of the “I give God 10% why do you get 18” receipt was fired after the pastor called and complained.
She said it wasn’t a receipt left for her; another server had gotten it and she took a picture because she thought it was funny. But, after it took off on Reddit.com, people started trying to figure out who the pastor was based on the scribbled signature, and they did.
The waitress has released a statement: “Whether or not she left a tip, the note was still offensive. It wasn’t my table, it wasn’t my tip. But you can’t really argue with what’s plainly written, and what was written was insulting. Insulted or not, I’ve lost my job over this mess, and that’s what I’m concerned with now.”
Applebee’s released this statement: "Our Guests’ personal information – including their meal check – is private, and neither Applebee’s nor its franchisees have a right to share this information publicly. We value our Guests’ trust above all else.”
