Maybe the service was bad.

What!? How dare you bring up something like that. It was that evil, mean, selfish, no good, dirty, rotten, filty, Paaaaaastor who did this to the poor defenseless wait-person. The pastor probably makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a week. That waitress was entitled to a ginormous tip. Quality of service no longer matters unless, of course, one's thinking is stuck in the 50s.

Perhaps the service was bad, although the pastor contradicts such an assumption when questioned, indicating that she left cash on the table. Regardless, the note on the receipt was intended as a smart assed rude comment, and it should not have been written, especially by a pastor. If you don't like the service, don't go back or speak to the manager. This pastor, through the very act of writing on the receipt, intended for someone to see it. What a witch!

I agree the employee should have been disciplined, but probably not terminated. There is no privacy protection for the number of calories someone chooses to shovel down their throat. Unless the company policy specifically forbade such an act, I would have documented it and provided a written warning. Termination must give the witchy pastor some satisfaction - way to go! You're a heck of a role model, pastor, you pig!
