Quote:

Unhappy with having to pay a restaurant's auto-gratuity of 18% for parties of eight or more, a pissed-off pastor used his receipt to express his indignation.

"I give God 10% — why do you get 18?," the man wrote above the autograt line before crossing out the pre-printed tip and signing the receipt "pastor."

The St. Louis-area server who posted a pic of the receipt on Reddit said the pastor was dining with a party of 20, and asked to have the $200+ bill broken up into smaller increments in a failed attempt to avoid paying the 18% tip.

"They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great," the server said. "They just didn't want to pay when the time came."

Redditors have been trying to track down the less-than-charitable Christian, but have so far been unable to identify the culprit.

At least one pastor was forced to issue a response denying responsibility, and the server herself has asked fellow Redditors to stop posting personal information of random people "who don't deserve a Reddit mob banging down their Internet door."

UPDATE

Edit: Pastor has now apologized -- waitress fired.

Educating yourself on how your particular TS works is most important. My Dad has stuck with it through the old trade power days up to the new points system learning the in's and outs and its been great for us. My kids have already benefited greatly and will continue to once its passed to my sister and I.

Are you implying that Branson is a more preferable location than Denver?

That's really the one thing I love the very most about what I do. When we're young and having kids, we can't afford to go on nice vacations because we're still getting established ourselves. With TS, you don't have to worry about paying for the accomodations, so it makes vacationing more affordable for younger people with small children. Those children get to experience the world more at a younger age. It's a legacy passed down. And that's priceless.

The only way anyone can make any money in this town is by being able to perform, sell, or commit to 70 hour work weeks. That's it. Servers down here make shit money anymore because there are SOOOO many restaurants and not a bunch of new travelers. There's a lot of money that rolls into this town every year. Upwards of 3 billion annually, but Branson is living proof that trickle down economics doesn't work because unless you're doing one of the 3 things I listed above, no one is making shit. $10 an hour is a gold mine down here. If I couldn't do what I'm doing, I would be right the **** out of here a long time ago.

Servers are the highest level of the lower class. I made $20 an hour on average waiting, but it's the same $20 an hour I made 13 years ago. It hasn't gone up at all. I only worked for one place though, there may be somewhere else out there where the servers are making better than that. Lots of servers here don't make anywhere near that. I was a great salesperson and upsold everything I could to increase ticket prices.

I worked at a place with $60K Saturdays...there are only 4 Saturdays in a month...you're a flat out liar you never managed a restaurant.

Send me your resume.

Let it go, man. Let it go. You're still on parole, and he's not worth it.

**** it, I will be the guy to say it. After seeing a picture of the pastor in the Smoking Gun article, there is quite possibly a racial stereotype about tipping at play here.
