What a horrible person, no matter what race. And to not even feel bad about getting that poor young lady fired. SELFISH! Grandma always said "God doesn't like ugly"
I used to wait tables, too, in more than one restaurant, and there were all kinds of people who felt that they didn't need to tip. All. Kinds. Of. People. So please, let's not blame any one demographic.
Please, let's not make this racist. I'm caucasian, and I know plenty of caucasians who are stingy tippers/non-tippers.
I do think that what Pastor Bell did is shameful; Jesus said, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me, " Matthew 19:21. He didn't say, "Go eat an overpriced sandwich, and then bitch about having to pay the people who bring it to you. Just refuse to pay them, and if they dare complain, try to have everyone there fired. For whatsoever you do unto the least of these, they probably deserve."
So yeah, she's a jerk. But let's not accuse a whole group of people (African-Americans, Christians--anyone) of being jerks just because of her.
You do not know the teachings of the Bible very well. Yes, faithfully giving 10% is encouraged in the OT; BUT in the NT you are to give your ALL; everything is owned by God. Tithing is not mentioned in the NT.
You also don't know that servers in the US make a minimum wage of ONLY $2.00. Tips are supposed to make up the difference.
I have noted that some people have said "this is reflective of our race"- let me assure you it is NOT. I am a Caucasian and we have a plethora of creepy, underhanded and shady folks in my race as well (and I truly hope you do not tar us all with a broad brush) - I look at people for their character and their actions and race/cred/color/religion have no bearing.
This lady was (and is) scum and a hypocrite. Whether she is blue, purple, white or black makes no difference. Scum is scum.
I used to waitress and no one ever wanted to wait on the black people because they never tipped. Even HOT 107 back in the day in NY said "Why do you think they don't have nice restaurants in black neighborhoods?" Because you cant keep the waitresses because they don't tip. I think this needs to be more of a teaching lesson. I am pretty sure Pastor was unaware of the fact that waitresses only make less than $3.00 an hour because they are expected to make it up in tips. Hate this comment all you want, but its from experience and its the truth.
SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!!!!!! Did you know that people who work in the food service industry make $2.25 an hour???? and did you know that when their paychecks arrive they are almost always VOID??????? After taxes we work strictly for tips!!!! and did you know that when you tip less than the 18% WE the server has to pay taxes on the 18%!!!!!! So not only did you cost the girl money because you didnt feel anyone deserves to be tipped!! a very self-rightous act coming from a Pastor!!!!!!!! But you also went on TV to say oh well, I dont care one way or another that she lost her job????? Real compassion coming from a Pastor!!! Nothing like turning the other cheek or giving to the less fortunate than yourself!!!!!!! you make me sick!!! And FYI it is people exactly people justlike you that is the reason service charges were put in place!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!!!!!!
Everyone needs to calm down and take a time out. Everyone who is ready to stone this poor Pastor needs to take their own personal stock and drop the rock. Yes, she did a foolish thing and then doubled down making it worse. Let this be a learning opportunity for her AND the waitress AND the restaurant. But please don't demonize her and ruin yet another life just to satisfy our sense of injustice.
Hello My Name is selena a single girl I saw your profile, ( abcpreachers.ning.com) can you please contact me on my email address(selena_kiki24@yahoo.co.uk ) I have something important to tell you . Thank you miss selena
I'm truly excited to read your profile at Black Preaching Network, and I pick up interest to know more about you! Feel free to inbox me via email address below:
( elizebethjacobi@ymail.com ) for more details. Thank you,I look forward to communicating with you. God bless U.
After reading the articles about Pastor Alois Bell and her extremely rude manners, I felt the need to sign up for the Black Preaching Network just to make sure my voice was heard. Do you know how disrespectful and rude you have to be when someone joins a Black Preaching Network, just to make sure you know how awful of a person they think you are? She took her page down just minutes after my post. But regardless, my voice WILL BE HEARD.
How dare someone do that to someone else? It's people like her which make people like me have less faith in the church. Not only was the comment irrelevant and disrespectful, but it was clearly obvious that Pastor Alois Bell thought she was better than the average person, the average customer, the average soul. It was like she was saying, " I answer to God. I ain't answering to you." And then on top of such a rude comment, SHE STILL DIDN'T PAY THE TIP.
I just want it known that today, on this day of January the 31st, 2013, I have lost ALL faith. And I credit you, Alois Bell. You are a disgrace to the church, and I hope everywhere you go, when you sign your name on the next receipt or paper, that someone gives you that look - that look of, "Oh, it's this lady. This no tipping, thinks she's better than everyone else, woman." I hope that people make you feel as low as you made that waiter feel when you slapped them in the face with your cold harsh words. Maybe then, and only then, will you be able to feel good about what you've done.
Don't preach about a lapse in character and judgement. You called to get everyone involved fired. Why? Because you wanted to save face. Because you wanted to retract your bitter statement. But you know what? It's too late. Today we have all seen your true colors, and man, what an ugly rainbow you present.
I hope you feel good getting that person fired. I hope it made your day. Because today, on this Thursday, January the 31st, 2013, the world knows your name - and it's in infamy.
You are a disgrace to the church and to religion. Keep your 10%. We don't want it!
Alois Bell, words cannot even begin describe how embarrassed I am to be a Pastor in CA. I hope that $6 you saved was worth all this backlash you have caused our race and our religious community. We are all on damage control now separating us from you and your group.
Alois Bell your a pathetic pimple on the back side of humanity. I bet you love those tax write offs to feed your kids. 15 member church of what hypocrites? You are sad and you will have the Lord's judgement visited upon you for what you did using his name. This is why you have a store front for a church! How pathetic indeed
what a loathsome disgusting "servant of Christ".... She's in charge of a congregation?????????
Being a douchebag and hiding behind God is what makes religion, and relgious figures so deplorable.
Maybe she should follow God's teachings, afterall she is a pastor. But Alois Bell's ego and self importance was more important to Alois Bell than ANY Christian principles.
I only hope that the golden rule applies here. And that as a result of Alois Bell bringing shame and disgrace on her so called church, that she suffer the same fate as Applebee's invoked on that poor waitress..... FIRE HER
She has no place, as a leader. in any Christian community.
She is why I despise Organized religion.... Mankind is a selfish, ego driven beast, Alois Bell is no different. Overstepping (as many religious "Leaders" do) their powers, to bennfit themselves because the deem themselves worthy of "special treatment"
Don't go to restraunts if you don't want/ feel like paying the advertised prices. Simple.
By the way... how does she get paid? is it by church donations that she takes a cut on? Yes...Yes it is.
Therefore she is not paying 10% to the church. Her 10% donation is just giving back 10% of her "SALARY" that she gets "FROM THE CHURCH" (that in turn pays her from the tithing of the congregation). Her 10% Back is really just giving back already donated money
All, I would like to say is I was disappointed to see what she wrote and more disappointed at the nerve to call and demand that all staff be fired. You should be shamed of yourself, that you would want this poor employee to lose her job behind your stupid remarks.
I don't think anyone with this type of spiritual base should be allowed to act as pastor of a congregation. Her credentials should be YANKED, not pulled away from her. Maybe when she has to live in the REAL world, without benefit of TAX EXEMPT STATUS, she will become more understanding of those who must grovel for tips to make ends meet. These servers have to actually live on what they earn. Nobody is lining up to throw money in theri collection plate!
All I can say is ... May the Good God in Heaven bless you with all that you DESERVE, and ten fold!
