Can we all PLEASE stop supporting the diamond industry and give out copies of Emily Post instead of engagement rings? Ugh.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph when did brides get so tacky?

They are probably going "Awesome! Now I don't need to get that bitch a gift!"

What are you talking about? Why is she bat shit crazy for not inviting you, given that (1) you weren't that close, and (2) you obviously are judging her for having a second wedding? How exactly did you "call her on her shit" because she didn't invite you to her wedding? Girl, look in the mirror, you are the crazy…

Gee, I can't imagine why she's been blown off by so many people in the past.

That's good to know. If the server does an awesome job I always tip more, but sometimes I don't. I try to be a decent tipper and human being whenever possible but sometimes you just don't know things!

There are plenty of issues with the idea of franchising in general; parent companies shouldn't be able to dodge worker abuse that happens at a franchise. As far as I'm concerned, if they put their name on it, they're damn well responsible.

Americans have REALLY short memories. It's the old Eddie Izzard joke: "'This building dates back to NINETEEN FIFTY FOUR!' 'NOOOOOO, SURELY NOT! No one was ALIVE then!'"

I don't give a crap if people pray before meals but when you have a pricing system where non-religious (or religious people who don't feel the need to make a huge show of praying) people are penalized (just because it's a "discount" doesn't mean it's not penalizing certain people), that's a dick move.

If you ever go back, have this in your phone:

yeah, but you could've gotten 15% more if you'd prayed while doing it.

There's a Fried Chicken Chain in my hometown that offers a 50 cent discount on any order if the orderee can recite a specific Bible passage when they pay. Is this a thing that freaks people out?

I grew up with my family always, always holding hands and praying before a sit-down meal together. Not, like, when we were shuffling around bleary-eyed in the mornings trying to find clean bowls, but always for dinner, and nearly always when eating out, even if we all were just eating at Denny's. Still do it when I…

She also states that this discount is not given out every single time prayer/momentary pause is seen, I'd like to think that she teaches her staff discernment on when its use is acceptable and warranted.

This is pretty much my feeling. If you believe in Jesus/Mohammed/Buddha/The Flying Spaghetti Monster, good for you. But I don't want to hear about it. Why is it so damn hard to keep that shit to yourself?!
Obviously I don't say anything to the people who wear Jesus-themed t-shirts and have prayer circles at brunch, but…

One of my very favorite moments, god bless The Simpsons. (Where's my discount?!)

It's because praying in public is more about being seen praying than about any devoutness. It's about making a spectacle of yourself. It's no skin off my schnozz if someone prays silently in public, but really, it's kind of silly, don't you think?

Holy Jesus I loves me a discounted meal.

Not a fan of the public prayer nonsense. It always comes across as having far more to do with "making a statement" than it does any kind of actual religious devotion. The way that overt displays of religious faith often seem to coincide with intolerance towards those who "fail" to live by the supposed morals of that…

the really shitty thing is that you know the people taking advantage of this discount are probably going to tip on the discounted amount (if at all) and leave the poor server a tract about how Jesus loves everyone (except those people who don't look, act, or pray like they do.)
