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.

Now every preacher knows the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' who to tip well
And knowin' who to stiff
'Cause every waiter's a winner
And every waiter's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is some lemon in your tea

Granted, that's a drawback. Beyond that, though...

It's not all that and a bag of chips, but usually pretty good. In fact, once, I got stuffed mushrooms that SOMEBODY totally messed up the sauce on. I'm not a picky eater, and I spent many a day (LOL, school days too) on the OBX, so I know what a Carolina crab-stuffed mushroom should taste like, and it was revolting. So much that I actually asked the manager to please try one (since I was close to a local, and my brother is - has a house on the sound side), and he admitted that "somebody didn't follow the instructions!" LOL, it was almost funny how bad it tasted...

My brother opened the first Safeway on the OBX (yeah, that's dating me!!), and my brother-in-law used to shape boards for WRV, so he opened that store (near Duck) way back when...

I recommend Awful Arther's more.

Here is a pic of the disgusting pastor. I hope that karma does it's thing on this bitch soon.




But yes, it's more fuel to my fire in the hatred for religion. Religious people do use the fact that they go to church as an excuse to treat others like shit, they really do.

And apparently she also tried to spin this bullshit in a ridiculous positive manner towards herself and her cult by saying she wrote the note, knowing it would go viral and spread the word of jesus.

****ing A, man. these people. I hate them.

haha...go figure, she's black

Bump what kind of qualifications did you have to run a $1M a month restaurant that required servers to tip out 7%? I have all the time in the world to crush this little myth.

[Coach]

I don't necessarly agree with the firing of the waitress.

So maybe it depends on how nice a place you work at.. I would walk out of there with 80bucks in tips plus my hourly as a SA for 4-6 hours of work.. Servers would make 100-400 a night... So it might just be where you are at.. My tips were split between the 2 servers I helped.. Then they tipped out the bar more..

you must be confused

we're talking about percentage of sales, not percentage of your tips

no way any server in the service industry would tip out 7% on their sales. That's completely insane.

I didn't see anything on the photo that showed the customer's name or address or credit card number.

Besides, I disagree with the firing of the waitress. Poor judgement? Perhaps so, but the so-called Pastor was much worse than the waitress.

a manager at a $1M per month restaurant (which is INSANE, for the record) would make at least $60K a year. At least.

What made you quit big guy?

Oh wait, you were never a restaurant manager. Is it fun lying on the internet? You have any knife attacks against people knocking on your door lately?

Just to be clear... assholes do that. Not religious people. They are not mutually exclusive. I actually know plenty of very nice and charitable religious people. Unfortunately I know a lot of assholes that think they are religious as well, but if memory serves most forms of religion ask you to treat others the way you wish to be treated.
