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.

Your home depot guy is getting $8-$10 an hour. The waitress is getting $2.10 an hour. Her willingness to work for $2.10 is based on the assumption of tips by customers.

Has anyone made a Jewish Pastor joke yet?

I don't think it's 2.10 anymore old timer. It's based on the current minimum wage which has risen in the last 50 years.

**Edit**Holy shit. After I looked it up I found out some states it's $2.13, which is the fed minimum. Most states are higher. I apologize and deserve the kick in the ass for opening my trap.

The total bill was over $200. That cheap ass man of god was trying to get out of paying the 18% by having seperate bills

It's all there in the OP

Still, I think tipping is stupid. I think of all the times I have tipped in my life and think back on if I never tipped in my entire life how much better it would be and how much more money I would have.

JFC.

Instead of learning and growing as a person since you joined CP, you've regressed as a human, Big Time.

Un****ingreal.

Just like the waiters can work somewhere that pays a steady normal wage.

Disclaimer: I don't support not tipping, but I support one's right to not tip.

Bullshit

More proof that you're a ****ing moron.

Good luck with that.

Stop tipping. See how good of service you get.

I heard a guy on radio once saying that "TIP" stood for "To insure promptness". And in the old days, you pre-tipped the waiter to ensure he or she did a good job. Seems to me like a better model to get the service you deserve. If you give no tip or a crappy one, expect no service or crappy service. And vice versa!

Depends on the restaurant, its location, etc.

I ****ing tip everyone.

I tip before I get service. You know why?

Because then, you're treated like a king.

That's all good until the ****er who's taking your order never comes back and has your tip in his wallet. Then it's your word against yours.
