Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Last month, Ryan Brandt, a waitress in Arkansas, received a tip of $4,400! The customer requested that she split the tip with the other waitress that served this group. Brandt’s manager, however, demanded that she share it with the whole staff, counter to the restaurant’s previous practices.
The customer learned of the manager’s demand and asked for his tip back so that he could give it directly to Brandt outside of the restaurant. Days later, the restaurant fired Brandt.
This episode resulted in the restaurant receiving negative reviews amid a social media firestorm.
Proverbs 12:18 says, “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Rash decisions without thinking through the impact on all parties can go wrong very quickly.
