    Jamie,

    Some poeple have no shame. Did they fill their pockets and purses with napkins and sugar packets, too? That restaurant needs a new sign: "Restrooms for use by paying customers only".

    There is a wt that says jw's are supposed to tip according to what is normal in that area. Maybe someone can find it, I would but my jw is hanging around so..... anyway, I had to print it out once to show someone that jw's were just being bad customers and evidently NOT listening to their god the fds in NY.

    The WTS has to remind jws to tip every year.

    *** km 5/81 pp. 4-5 1981 “Kingdom Loyalty” District Conventions ***The insert in the May 1980 issue of OurKingdomService provided good direction on the matter of tipping. It is not against Christian principles to express appreciation in this way for personal services rendered by others. (Luke 10:7) Although this is a personal matter, to neglect doing so where it is expected may cast unfavorable reflections upon Jehovah’s people. To illustrate: The manager of a motel who cooperated with the convention personnel and arranged for many of our brothers and sisters to stay in his facility expressed concern over a problem that developed. The waitresses in his employ had told him that they did not want to wait on Jehovah’s Witnesses as they left no tips. On one occasion, a party of Jehovah’s Witnesses arrived just before the restaurant was to close. Arrangements were made for this group to sit together and be served, despite the fact that the workers had to stay after closing time to do so. It was reported that the only tip left was a copy of a pocket-size book that was released earlier that week at the convention. While so-called fast-food eating establishments do not provide waiter service and no tipping is involved, in restaurants where such service is provided it is left to the brothers to consider leaving a tip where this is the local custom.

    Restaurants: In many places, it is customary to leave a 15 to 20 percent tip, depending on the service.
