Why one restaurant gives 15-percent prayer discount

[Mr. Mensch]

moment of quiet gratitude before a meal, can produce another moment of thanks when the bill arrives.


That's what patrons of Mary's Gourmet Diner have discovered.
Jordan Smith recently paused to say grace before a meal at the Winston-Salem (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Winston-Salem), N.C. (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/North+Carolina) restaurant. When the bill came later, she spotted a strange number in the subtotal.


"The waitress came over at the end of the meal and said, 'Just so you know, we gave you a 15 percent discount for praying,'" Smith told Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/08/01/north-carolina-restaurant-offers-15-percent-discount-to-pray-in-public/).
Mary's Gourmet Diner has an official policy of giving diners a special savings if they "pray publicly" before chowing down. The restaurant has reportedly offered patrons the holy discount for four years.
Last week, Christian music radio station Z88.3, Orlando, Fla (https://www.facebook.com/Z883FM?fref=photo). (https://www.facebook.com/Z883FM?fref=photo) uploaded a photo of the discounted receipt to Facebook, causing the news to go viral and generate controversy.
Nearly 10,000 people liked the post with believers and atheists offering either support or criticism of the practice.
"Did she pray for a discount," quipped one commentator.
"Love when I see people pray in restaurants! Reminds me I'm not alone," said another, posting a picture of her granddaughter.
Some dismissed the practice as a publicity stunt. Others said this gives an unfair discount to people who are openly religious but not to atheists.
Restaurant manager Mary Haglund clarified the policy to Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/08/01/north-carolina-restaurant-offers-15-percent-discount-to-pray-in-public/). "It’s about the whole idea of gratitude," she said. "It's not a religious thing, it's a spiritual thing." If someone is seen "having a moment," Ms. Haglun said, the customer gets a randomly-offered discount.
So how many Americans actually say grace before meals?
As with many issues, the nation is split down the middle, according to the Pew Research (http://www.pewforum.org/2010/12/16/american-grace-how-religion-divides-and-unites-us/#5) Religion & Public Life Project:

It turns out that that simple question, how frequently you say grace, divides Americans almost exactly in half. So 44 percent say they say grace daily or more often; 46 percent say well, occasionally or never; and then a small percentage, 10 percent, say they will give a blessing to God before they eat maybe once or twice a week.
Many establishments are known to give savings to senior citizens and veterans but some also offer some unusual discounts.
For example, parents with "well behaved kids" got a break on their dinner bill from an Italian restaurant in Washington state, reported The Christian Science Monitor. (http://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Family/Modern-Parenthood/2013/0207/Well-behaved-kids-discount-Tips-for-taking-children-to-restaurants)
In the South, a number of steakhouses deduct from the bill if a customer finishes the entree, according to the restaurant trivia site, Restoran (http://restoran.us/trivia/unusual.htm).

This will no doubt irritate a lot of people.

Public prayer bothers me. I don't understand it. It's supposed to be a private thing between you and your god. I have always been uncomfortable praying in public.

That said, I don't see the issue. It's her business, if she wants to give folks a discount for praying openly, more power to her.

Matthew 6:1-34 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A1-34&version=ESV) “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

[Paperback Writer]

The point is to not pray for show. If it's sincere I think that's all that matters. Course you don't have to worry about stepping over blokes who decide to pray on the sidewalk like we do. It annoys at that point.

The person who is religious who I wasn't aware they were religious to me is the person who is truly a believer.

IOW - many if not most people who wear their religion on their sleeve do so because they want the attention.

I have always believed that you don't have to advertise your beliefs, you demonstrate them by your behavior...

I prayed several times publicly when afraid. When frightened I go from agnostic to believer in a nanosecond. Aint that how it always is?

Exactly - it's not what you say, it's what you do (or don't do).

[Paperback Writer]

I really can't be arsed to tell people how to practice their religion or philosophy. People praying aloud to me is no different (and possibly less annoying) than those who choose to talk on their cells in restaurants and lines.

The only time I have a care is when blokes decide that the sidewalk is the best spot to pray towards Mecca.

[PolWatch]

I'm not real fond of strangers who want to accost others and inquire/lecture them about the state of their soul. I think a person's beliefs are very private & personal.

You'd be less fond of strangers who moved to your secular country then attempt to turn it into a theocracy. Embrace your random Bible thumper, it annoys far less than the screaming blokes who dress their birds like ninjas and want special accomodations.

[sachem]

It seems strange to me, but nothing wrong with giving the discount.

[midcan5]

I wonder if I wheeled my wife in on a wheelchair, prayed before and then as the meal progressed, I shouted she's healed, hallelujah, and then she got up and walked, would we get our meal for free? You think?

[Captain Obvious]

If a restaurant openly gave anyone a discount for praying before eating I would not go there.

For a number of reasons. Not that I'm "anti-religous" (I'm sure I'll be accused of that), but because for one it's weird. Second, I'm a cheapskate and I'm not a poser. I would not pray publicly for a discount and it would gnaw me if I passed up an opportunity for a discount.

But mostly because it's odd and I don't want to be around kooks.

[countryboy]

I think it's a little strange. Seems like once word got out, it would be easy enough to fake it just to get the discount.

Nothing wrong with praying before eating though, as long as you aren't disruptive or rude.

[Paperback Writer]

I'd pray for a discount. I'd bow my head and pray that God smite Michael Bay.

That's just it - people are disruptive and rude, because most of them want others to notice that they're being "Christianly".

I see it all the time, it's the main reason people engage in public displays of faith.

[sachem]

I wouldn't fake pray just to save a few bucks. And I don't think I would go there. I don't want to hear folks praying.

I think the real reason is that you would be embarrased if people found out how you prayed.

I don't like being a nuisance to other people and I always was conscious about how my kids acted at restaurants. We usually got compliments from people around us as to how well behaved our kids were but they had their moments at times.

One time we were at the Elephant Bar - HoJo's in Pittsburgh, slightly upscale bar/restaurant. Tiki torches and shit like that. Anyway we're there with our toddler who's carrying on and making a scene. My wife is horrified, she can't get him to stop. A couple tables over this young couple comes in with a similar toddler who's actually carrying on worse than ours is and I can see that couple having a harder time at it than we were because they're sitting by this table of stick-up-the-ass types who keep giving them dirty looks.

So I yell over to them (as our kid's still throwing a tantrum) - "hey - shut that kid up, we're trying to have dinner over here". Everybody around us laughed including that other couple.

[Redrose]

I was raised to say Grace before meals and to give thanks after the meal. My husband and I give a brief prayer before every meal at home and in restaurants. Nothing very obvious, just a little silent prayer, about 3-4 seconds, heads bowed, hands held. During our meal this past Sunday in a local restaurant, a woman passed our table and told me she was very offended by our 'religious display".
I was offended by her display too and told her so. She had the bed sheets and kitchen curtains wrapped all around her. I let her have with both barrels. Who the hell do those AH's think they are? Allah Akbar my ass. Go get on your camel and get the hell out of this country.

I'm sick of this crap. We have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

As far as I am concerned if you want to pray, then pray. If you don't want to pray, then don't. It makes no difference to me one way or another. My relationship with God is my own business. If you choose not to have one (or with a different one) that is your business.

But for this woman to come up to you and tell you she was offended by your silent prayer was just rude.

Matthew 6:1-34 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A1-34&version=ESV)

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

That passage is meant to show people it's wrong to show your faith openly for praise, reward.

Like JFK, oh a big Catholic family, the First Family attending church every Sunday, basically saying "look at me, I'm so holy". Then as soon as Jackie was off to Paris to spend thousands on haute couture, Jack was boffing everything in a skirt.

Those who are truly grateful for what the Lord has given them, can and should take every opportunity to show that gratitude.

I feel sad for those who fail to understand. You don't have to do it, but at least understand why people of faith do it.

Muslims pray 3 times a day facing Mecca. I have no problem with that. But don't force me to do it.

We have a wonderful local restaurant, one the locals use, not the tourists. Not too expensive, $15-20 for entrees. They will give a 20% discount if you bring in this weeks church bulletin. They want the church crowd. We always have our bulletin, but never show it. I don't use my religion for profit. We say Grace, but that's as far as we take it.

I'm cool with that, really - if that's what enough people want to keep the place in business. Really, but I wouldn't eat there.

OK, but you'd be missing a great burger. The restaurant is a cottage, with garden seating, ponds, flower beds, has a thatched roof, a massive fireplace, big windows with a magnificent view of the Smoky Mountains. There is absolutely no religious feel in the place, you know, nobody with snakes around their necks. Lol
I get a quiche, fruit with a glass of white wine, my hubby gets salmon and a beer usually.

If it were unique in that sense I'd probably try it, maybe go back once in a blue moon especially if it were locally owned. I like patronizing local establishments.

Oh you'd love this area, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. I have 130 restaurants within 5 miles of my house. The restaurant I mentioned is privately locally owned. Nice people. There are several great wing places and beer places. Many bikers come here, they ride the Tail of the Dragon between Tennessee and NC. There is something for all tastes and wallets.

Sounds good, but to be honest I like being out in the middle of nowhere where there's a couple bars and whatnot. It's my life's calling.

I'm close to Pittsburgh and Columbus so when I need a dose of culture I spend weekends there.

Beyond that, give me a campfire and a six pack in the fridge and I'm good to go.
