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.

This dick-head pastor took a gamble and struck gold! He's getting lots of publicity and has plenty of bullshit material to fill boring Sundays with for months to come. He's a regular Lindsay ****ing Lohan!!!We can only hope his flock is smart enough to see the evil in the man doing the preaching, but they stay around just long enough to drop a note in the tray that says, "I tip at 28%, 10% above what you were asked, so there no 10% left for you. I'll donate time to a worthy cause to make up for the lack of cash I'm sticking in your greedy suit-wear ass's pockets. **** off asshole. God hates you by the way!!"

Then they find somewhere else to go on Sundays... Sleeping in might be a good choice too if this is the clown they were seeing flap his gums!!

I absolutely would. Get me out of the middle of that whole compensation system. Give me a price and let me choose to pay for it or go somewhere else or eat at home. Absolutely. Jack up the price. Tell me what it really costs. Don't put me in a no-win situation of having to provide the paycheck. Bring it on.

That would work for about 1 hour, until a couple patrons told the owner and he was fired for hurting business.

That point is essentially pointless, my drivers, some of the best I had, would take orders to houses that had a $2 tip already on them after the blank tipped orders just in case getting that pizza there faster would give them a greater tip than $2. Hell when I drove I did it.

I would also find it so hilarious when people would start their sentences with, "Well I waited tables/delivered pizzas/worked in the restaurant industry so I know that blah blah blah." More times than not, they're speaking to a relation to your situation and not basing their argument off of factual knowledge. If some jackass tips my driver or me with a $2 tip, you think I give a shit if you waited tables or delivered pizzas. Because it obviously didn't teach you jack shit.

Plus let's call a tip what it is, Gratuity. Now if someone gives you a $2 tip on a $30+ order, they are basically saying my limit for gratuity to you getting my pizza here on time is worth $2, which is setting the bar exceptionally low. Why try to please a customer that has little to no respect in offering extra gratuity if I get the pizza there before the time we quoted? Because they pay our paycheck? Leave that bullshit to the restaurant, it has no effect on the driver what so ever and you really expect a 19 year old to think more of the situation?

In closing, its funny to see posts like this and see the insane amount of people that defend themselves with stating they tip 15-20% every time. There's two ways this ends, either the restaurants I worked in over my 12 years in the industry were some of the unluckiest restaurants to get a tip and I hardly ever got a customer as great as you.... or many of you are lying your asses off and saving face. You can say this situation is shitty and the guy is a douche, but don't lie and say that shit when I know if your girlfriend/wife/friend you hang out with all the time saw you post that shit they'd laugh their ass off.

Pizza drivers get their job so they can drive around and get high while being paid for it. You should know that if you manage them. Serving is a bit of a different animal. In Branson there are a ton of older, professional, servers. They don't need that "management" and their managers love them for it.

Other than that, your post is spot the **** on.

Something is very fishy about this.
1. I've never heard of a 200 dollar bill
2. The receipt looks like a credit card
3. Most pastors think they are above tithing

To insure proper service, to insure promptness, both work. I wish it worked that way. People would learn some hard lessons. Except for the con thieves, and there's tons of them. I'd like to see restaurants comp them once, and put them in a system that would be tied to all chains nationwide. 3 comps in a year, **** you, go somewhere else to eat or refuse service period. It would lower prices overall or at least stop them from going up so rapidly. I guarantee it.

I tip before I get service. You know why?

Because then, you're treated like a king.

It was rare, but I had it happen, and I treated them like kings. Imagine that.

I have a family of 6. If we invite 2 guests, I have to pay a mandatory 18%. It's bull.I should get to decide what my tip will be. If I go to a Japanese steak house with 8, by bill is pushing $200 or more... And I have another $36 that I have to pay a chick for keeping our tea filled for an hour?! Uh no.

I worked for a seafood chain restaurant and I sold bottles of wine that cost close to that. So, I've seen bills upwards of $1000 for parties of 12.

You can't afford to eat out. Really. Because you could get the best service in the world and it wouldn't be worth $5 to you. That bill would be $400 if it weren't for decent people who subsidized you by paying your fair share. They make $3 an hour dude. You must have voted for Obama.

Then don't eat out. It's really that simple.

Like it or not, it's the way the industry works. Don't take your anger of the system out on the server who in most cases bust their asses to make your dinner an enjoyable experience
