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.

I knew you did that, but I'm not sure I've really thought it through until now. So just so we're 100% clear:

You sell timeshares...in Branson?

(I really hope I don't have any desire to go there when I'm old.)

LOL, it's cheaper to buy in Branson. At least that's what we tell them. Timeshare is a GREAT program, just not at retail. Meaning, don't buy from me! No matter where I'm at. It's a helluva lot different than what they were selling 20 years ago. You can go worldwide on them. You're not locked into one location at all.

They're just being dicks, exactly.

It really is perplexing why people get such a hairlip about it, they're not JUST paying for the food when they go out, they're paying for the ambiance, the experience and pleasure of being SERVED a nice meal.

The mahimikes and bigwillies of the world need to just stay home if they cant understand that.

Agreed. I don't get too worked up about it, though. It's important to make sure they know that they're being dicks, but I never feel that sorry for the waiters who have to deal with them. That shit happens, so it's kind of a part of of the deal.

Branson seems like a fertile ground for timeshare buyers.

Oh, I'm sure it is. I just can't even fathom the idea of buying one there.

He's a dick and he THINKS he's superior. Yet in reality, he has an inferiority complex.

That's like 99.9% of Chiefs Planet though.

These days, it's cheaper to own there and that's no joke. It's all about points and that's it. Branson is cheaper than Jamaica, and the Bahamas, and what not. You can still visit those places with the right program, and the right point package. It's all about bang for your buck.

...giving the first tenth BACK to God is not the same as paying somone to serve you.

logic fail, not to mention pimping the Lord to placate your selfishness.

Well there is a difference between not knowing any better and trying to fight the system or something to prove some type of point. They tip all the time now.
