Greg wrote yesterday about an experience at a well known eatery. He wrote about occupations that expect and demand a tip. My favorite is the tip jar at Starbucks or the sandwich shop. So, not only do I pay $4 for the coffee drink I’m expected to pay you for making my coffee drink? I thought that’s what the owner of the shop was suppossed to do?

Time to start another campaign. Ministers are being left out of this lucrative tip enterprise.

I can see many tip worthy scenarios.

“Here’s a little something for a seat on the back pew.”

“How about a crisp Franklin to keep the sermon under 20 minutes?”

That whole tradition of standing in the back and shaking everyone’s hand as they try to think of something nice to say about the sermon would be more interesting if we ministers were in on that gratuity thing.
