Have been a server of sorts (pizza delivery) as well as being in the service sector for nigh on two-and-a-half decades (office based customer service/client support). Like anyone else who works, or has worked, in a similar capacity I have stories about customers/clients who you just have to go "WTF?? REALLY?? with. As a server/delivery driver I can easily empathize with this situation: someone who professes to be a follower of Christian values basically flashing their hypocritical colors when there was no call for it (one of the follow-up pieces indicated that no complaints about the server's efforts during the meal were complained about).
The "Pastor" made the effort to scratch out the auto-gratuity for the large group, zero-out the tip line, and listing the meal cost (after tax). This flies in the face of civility and while I'd rather Applebee's support their employee (especially if their service record has no other customer complaints) I'm happy the "Pastor" had a spotlight cast upon him/her and his/her decidedly un-Christian method of dealing with someone providing a service.
