“EVERY Sunday, my roommate would get ready for work (as a waiter) and would become downtrodden. He was normally happy and could shrug off anything. But every sunday he said, ‘Great, gotta go deal with the church crowd.’

I went with him once to see what he meant. (I personally try to be extra nice to people in service industries because #1, they have access to my food, and #2, really, how hard is it to be nice to someone who has a hard job?)

What I saw did shock me. Very large groups of people. His smallest table was a pack of 12. Many, many children and all of them ill behaved, throwing food, dropping items.

It took him two hours of constant attention between two tables. Waiters make their money by serving lots of tables… so two tables in two hours takes him down to minimum wage.

Neither table, after demanding his full attention for groups that were huge, left a tip.

And I knew both families. Good, sweet, loving people form my own church turned into demanding, upset, unruly folk.”

from this post

Hey, Christians: Let’s try to be extra-nice to the people we meet in the world. More people probably know you’re a Christian than you realize, and therefore you are always representing Him.

From the product description:

“Holodeck technology allows so many incredible things that wouldn’t be possible in the real world… And yet, there’s basically one thing humans are going to use that technology for once we get it. You know it, and I know it.”

Hahahahahaha
