Pastor refuses to tip "I give GOD 10% why do you get 18%"

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.

When I did my Alaska trip back in 2010, I came back from Anchorage to Vancouver on a cruise ship. It was inexpensive and much nicer than flying. I didn't have dress clothes so I didn't attend the "formal dinners", but a couple at my table apparently flew into a wild rage at an incident at one of the dinners. I was told later by another person at the table that there was yelling and anguish and in the end the couple walked out of the dining room never to return. The other people at the table were mortified to be sitting there while it was going on.

The incident? When they brought the dinners, they accidentally set the man's entree in front of the woman, and vice versa. When they complained, the waiter picked up the two plates and switched them, and they thought he should have thrown the food away and brought two new entrees.

People like that are the worst kind of people. A dude named Jamaal once told me when he was training me at a restaurant years ago...he said, "dawg, at the end of the day, we human...we're going to make mistakes. We aren't computers." I liked Jamaal.

I don't know a good analogy for a restaurant that does $1M per month in sales...I'll say a TGI Friday's in Overland Park, KS would probably be happy with $15K on a Saturday...and that would be a GOOD Saturday.

however, Bump, the same Bump who's posts we read on this board...wants us to believe he MANAGED a restaurant that averaged $34,000 per night (counting Monday's-Thursday's)...going rate of pay for a manager over there...at least $60K.

yet pothead, probably no older than 24 year old Bump with what appears to be an ounce of work ethic wants us to believe he managed this 7% tipout restaurant

...

and he answers his door paranoid with a knife because someone won't stop knocking...

...

but he used to make $60K a year as a restaurant manager at a $1M per month restaurant

yeah, right

[Hootie]

the infamous pizza place I worked with would have open-close 2 hour waits on football game days...constant, CONSTANT business for dine in, delivery and carry out...also sell frozen pizzas for nearly $20 a pop...and the owner was ****ing ECSTATIC when he got over $15K and the most he ever got up to was $19K.

Bump managed a restaurant that had $60K Saturdays. Bump. I realize being a waiter isn't a job that requires a ton of intellect...but a restaurant that takes in $1M per month in revenue isn't going to hire ****ing BUMP to manage it.

[Hootie]

my GM at Chicago Bennigan's (RIP - I miss Bennigan's) made $150K a year. Bump, one of our resident dipshits, broke into restaurant management at a ****ING amazing restaurant apparently (I cannot describe to you how much $1M per month in restaurant revenue is)...and now he lives in a seedy neighborhood where he has to answer his front door with a knife.

Bump, you are just SO believable.

Since I wasn't there, the male of the couple saw me somewhere else on the ship a couple of days later and chased me down. He was explaining to me what happened and was really trying to convince me how bad it was and how they had to take a stand. Meanwhile, the other people at the table told me that they wanted to go hide because it was such a scene over absolutely nothing.

I never ran into anything like that...most likely because the restaurants I worked at generally expected their food to be sort of "auctioned" off in big groups. I didn't like doing that and I always had a great waiter memory so I usually put the plates where they belonged but the servers who "auctioned" never got yelled at or anything. Most people were just ****ing happy there food had arrived and were ready to eat!

I learned though...some people are just ridiculous. Nothing you can do but laugh. I never really took offense to anything I always just lived by the "meh, at least I don't have to wake up and be them!" mantra.

yeah Bump, that's what I'd do to if I was completely outed for being a liar...I'd post a .jpg.

your lies are just stupid...not hard for me to pick out a liar when it comes to the service industry

you should at least try to make your lies believable

[Hootie]

just texted my buddy Steve and asked about Chicago Bennigan's on a Saturday night...good $10K great $13K

GM made $150K. Bottom of the ladder managers probably $35K-$45K (it was a Bennigan's for crying out loud)

BUT BUMP MANAGED a restaurant that did 6 times that in sales!!! Hahahaha. BUMP.

I'm talking CHICAGO Bennigan's here. We had A LOT OF TABLES and a wait every Saturday. 10-13K

It's really not that hard for a fresh college grad, who worked as a restaurant manager in a shitty place to pay for that degree, to go into an interview with a huge national corporation that's always hiring managers because they are growing, to go into that interview and tell them a story about how you love the restaurant business and wish you would have went to culinary school or a hotel and restaurant management degree because you love it so much. It's not hard to go into that interview and land that job. Every store for that company does crazy sales, they have over 30 of them now. All you need is a lot of experience and a good interview or in my case, fresh out of college with a little bit of experience.

[Hootie]

it really shouldn't be that hard for you to tell me which restaurant you managed then, should it?

I already did and I don't really feel comfortable talking about my employment history on here with personal details. I'm not giving you my name, ID and SS so you can look it up either.

[Bump]

but you keep thinking that weed makes people stupid and there is no way that a pot head could ever land a decent job.

It wasn't even a decent job, I ****ing hated that shit. Sure the money was good, but I don't like being miserable for 60 hours per week and having to hide it.
