Tips are for front of house staff only, servers and bartenders, tips are not to be shared among all staff. The restaurant had been collecting all tips and splitting the money

Baptist Pastor: A Man is a Man

Apologies Accepted ·

2024/03/02

Bobby Leonard is a Baptist Pastor who went viral in a video (not for herpes) from August 2023 (which is in the 21st Century) for stating that he would let a rapist go free for raping a woman who was wearing shorts because "A Man is a Man".See, men just love shorts. They don't like dresses or overalls or skirts - it's shorts that fire up the engines of lust and overwhelm a man's sensibilities and turn him into a rapist. It's pretty understandable if you think about it. And totally forgivable if
