Quoted:
When Jordan Smith got her tab after breakfast at Mary's Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem, N.C., she was pleasantly surprised to find a 15 percent discount — for "praying in public." Smith, on a business trip, tells HLN that she and her colleagues "prayed over our meal and the waitress came over at the end of the meal and said, 'Just so you know, we gave you a 15 percent discount for praying.' " http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/08/01/337110193/restaurants-prayer-discount-sparks-mix-of-praise-anger?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140801 Good on them. I've got noting witty to say on this one, GD. |

I remember a couple years ago when a restaurant was offering a discount if you brought in a church flyer.
I remember my jimmies being surprisingly unruffled then. Their restaurant, their rules. |

I tend to avoid places that offer discounts for bringing in a church flyer on Sundays. Not because I have the problem with the discount itself (I think a business should be able to set prices for any customer for any reason - including race / dress / gender / car you drove in / whatever).
It's because church crowds are shitty tippers and generally shitty customers, and only D list servers with no better opportunities are going to be working then. So in addition to getting the crappiest employees on the roster, I get to have them at their worst possible moments. No thanks. |

If they are gonna give a 15% discount for praying! then when some Muslim unrolls a prayer mat and faces Mecca they need to honor their 15% discount for everybody.

It's their business who they give the discount to. As an atheist in NC, from experience, I would stick to prayers that would please baptists. Basically, just talk about "jc" a lot, don't mention Mary and maybe say something bad about the pope. |

That is 100% true and is no big secret in the industry. I waited tables for less than a year in college and I learned real quick that you get a table full of church folk or Canadians and you can bet you're not getting a tip. |
