Imagine a bustling restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, packed with customers and a kitchen working at full throttle. Now enter the “Church Crowd”: twenty-five devout individuals who arrive without a reservation and demand to be served immediately. Spoiler alert: things don’t go smoothly.
Annoyed, our main character Kellie, also known online as @ambryrae, turned to TikTok to share this heavenly comedy.
In her now-viral video, Kellie paints a vivid picture of the chaos in the dining room. They warned the Church Crowd of a one-hour wait, but the group grudgingly accepted, displaying the patience of a cat at feeding time. One of the guests, channeling the persistence of a mosquito, repeatedly pestered her for updates.
When their ridiculously large table was finally ready, one self-proclaimed saint complained about the lack of a private space. Because, you know, everyone carries an extra banquet hall for surprise church buses.
Kellie explained that their modest restaurant couldn’t cater to such grandiose demands, which was met with huffy dissatisfaction.
The drama continued. “How long is this going to take?” demanded one impatient parishioner before their salads even arrived. Seriously, maybe wait until you’ve actually ordered?
When their meals finally came, Kellie walked into a real-life game of musical chairs. One man even ordered collard greens at an Italian restaurant. Did they think it was a multicultural food court?
As if that wasn’t enough, Kellie heard a ruckus from their table, complete with tambourines. Apparently, they believed other diners were “in worship” and insisted on keeping it down during their impromptu, instrument-filled session. Imagine a restaurant turning into an uninvited church service.
The bill, a hefty $350 to be split 25 ways, was the final straw. Predictably, one young congregant couldn’t pay his share. With a sugary sweet smile, the group’s leader asked Kellie to “bless” the young man by covering his meal. Really? Spiritual extortion meets financial manipulation.
Kellie suggested the novel idea that 25 people could each chip in a few bucks. Shocking, right? The leader begrudgingly paid, leaving a $50 tip with a parting shot: “Well, I would have left a larger tip if you hadn’t charged us for his food.” Because nothing screams Christian charity like exploiting restaurant staff.
After the ordeal, Kellie began questioning the church’s teachings. “You guys are some of the meanest, most cruel people we have ever had to serve, so I just wanted to know what you guys are learning in church,” she thought. A stark reminder of the hypocrisy often lurking behind pious facades.
Kellie’s solution? Consider reporting unholy behavior by congregation members to their pastors. Now we can all look forward to some Sunday service drama.
What do you think? Do church crowds really get this bad? Share your thoughts with us; we’d love to hear them!
