Having the Right vs. Being Right

Here’s a tip…

I love local news.

Waitress fired after posting picture of snarky minister’s receipt.

When I saw the story this statement that I have heard many times popped into my head:
Just because you have the right to do something doesn’t mean it is right to do it.

 

• The minister had the right to ignore the restaurant’s policy of adding 18% gratuity to large parties.
• The minister had the right to write the comment.
• The minister had the right to compare her gifts to God to her gifts the wait staff.
• The waitress had the right to publicly post a picture of the receipt.
• The minister had the right to call the restaurant and complain about the employees reaction.
• The restaurant had the right to fire the waitress.

The last one is the only right that I will defend as right.

What do you think, was anyone right in this situation?
