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 briefly talked about this shit in another thread. Incredible. I really had no idea this was some kind of science that got you your way. Psychology dude. You're a natural.

Oh bro...they ****ing loved me...

I'd go back there and start telling them all how much dick I suck and then tell one of them I was going to lick his asshole (in Spanish, of course)...then I'd tell them to suck my big, white dick (pelame el pito blanco WAY!) and the shit talking would just never end...they had no idea if I was gay, if I was straight...if I had mental problems...they just ****ing loved it. I'd go back there and they'd make me whatever food I ****ing wanted and then when something went awry at my tables I'd come in screaming vulgar mexican and they'd fix whatever the **** I needed in 2 minutes or less.

It's literally the 2nd most important part of being a waiter. Learn the computer and how to do EVERYTHING...and then win over the Mexicans.

two types of (male) servers that are good

the charismatic ones that are GREAT with guests, make them laugh, and are the lovable guys...

I worked with a guy named Hutch when I was 19...he was the funniest mother ****er in the world. Guests loved him. He'd have them rolling, he was so ****ing good...6'5" 450 lbs. HUGE mother ****er...but he was FANTASTIC with guests...wasn't really good at running his food, or getting refills, or turning tables...but the dude got SICK tips...he'd get 50% even 100% like clockwork...he was a legend.

or what I try to be...the polite, no bullshit, don't **** up your order, BE SUPER EFFICIENT, never let a glass get empty...I treated my job with a level of paranoia. If I made a mistake, ANY MISTAKE NO MATTER HOW SMALL...I dwelled on it and remembered it for WEEKS. I remember a specific time when I was 22...I don't write down orders for 6 or less...not to be cool, because it literally saves time and it's a better way to interact anyways...but to do this, you can't **** up...because guests are on edge when their "idiot" server doesn't write their shit down...they don't really like it all that much, honestly. But there would be times where I'd get triple, quadruple seated and I'd treat 4 3-5 tops like one big table basically...you pair your orders in 2 or 4 and just remember the order and modifications by face...I had it down...but like I said, you do this and YOU CAN'T **** up or they give you the "shoulda wrote that down!" bullshit.

well I remembered that I forgot to get this lady her cup of soup...but it was too late...they had gotten their app and their food was LITERALLY in the window...and I sat there and was like "****" because they ordered a SHIT TON of food with modifications and they gave me grief about not writing it down (they were super nice)...so I had to sweat out their whole damn meal being pissed off at myself...they pay, I change them up (I think this is the only time in my entire life I did this)...the dude walks over to me at the end and says "here you go man...tip's in there but don't think I'm THAT generous, you gave us $10 in change!" again...super NICE guy...

but ****! I felt like a dumb mother ****er there...I feel bad for the people in the industry that CONSTANTLY **** up...I tell you what, if I made mistakes on a day to day basis I wouldn't be able to hand it...I was having a mental breakdown because of 1 cup of soup and I still think about that situation TO THIS DAY and it was 5 ****ing years ago and probably 100,000 tables ago.

It's Yard House in KC, KS.

I don't know it, and I don't know the area...looked at their menu and they have entrees ranging from $10-$30. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY doubt they have $1M months. HIGHLY.

but I don't know for sure and I also don't know anything about their tipout structure so it is what it is.

In my EXPERT opinion, he's full of shit. But I'm not going to argue anymore. I'd say, at best, he was a server at this place but he didn't want to admit to being a waiter (can't say I blame him, I took grief about being a waiter on this site for years) so he pretended he was a manager and I called him out on it.

I don't like making mistakes and I don't like letting people down

I don't want to be the guy people at work talk about like I talk about with co-workers..."so so is terrible...he's awful at his job" so on, and so forth

I want to be good at what I do that pays my bills. I applied myself 100% to being a fantastic waiter...there were situations and scenarios where I did things that honestly shouldn't be possible. The amount of information I could retain without ****ing things up and being THAT efficient used to at least make me feel good about myself as a total underachiever and all...

I wish I could have applied myself scholastically as much as I did in the restaurant industry...I just always ****ing hated school, hated the busy work, and hated learning about things that didn't interest me in the least.

I pay the price now when I watch dipshits I used to work with dipshit their way through ****ing University of Illinois and land $60K entry level positions...

god damn my ex graduated with honors and she was one of the dumbest people I had ever met

I hate even thinking about it but at least after all these years and hard work I landed a career rather than a shitty waiter job.

Yeah, Bump, I was trying to refrain from jumping in the beat down but I have to wonder if maybe you're just remembering something wrong here. Maybe adding a couple zeros by accident or something.

A million dollars per month in sales is ****ing insane. Especially for a little-known chain like the one you're claiming. The place would have to be ****ing HUGE, NON-STOP BUSY from open to close, and EXPENSIVE to even sniff $500,000 in sales- let alone a milli.

I mentioned earlier that I used to work at a TGI Fridays right across from Disney World. People come from all over the world to see Mickey Mouse; you can't get a much better location than that. When I worked there back in 09/10 or so, on a Saturday in peak season, they'd do $25,000 routinely. But that shit was balls-to-the-walls busy and the place was pretty damn big compared to any other Fridays, or any other type of restaurant at all for that matter.

Your store would have to have done like $34,000 a day, on average to get to the big $1 milli. That's tough to believe.

This has been my experience as well. It's just a cultural difference really. I've noticed it in a lot of Indian people as well; getting a good tip from an Indian family may be even more rare than getting a good tip from a black family.

I remember one time I delivered a pizza (and some wings of course) to a black family. This big ass black dude answered the door. I gave him the food and told him the total- like $29 I want to say. So he's counting out the money and hands me a $20. Hands me a $5. A $1. A $1. A $1. Another $1 (which paid for the his meal, obviously). Then he looks at me, hands me another $1 and says "'Preciate'cha, bauce". I was like "Damn, man. You really think you're doing me a favor bestowing upon me a single dollar!?" But it was alright though. That's just the way he rolls.

Another time I remember I was chilling with my friend (who's black) and his family at some restaurant. His family consisted of dad, mom, him, his 3 brothers, and a sister. So 7 people ate a meal at a sit-in restaurant. You can only imagine what the bill would be, even at a lower class establishment. So we leave and for some reason we ended up talking about the waitress. So he goes: "Yeah, man. We tipped her GOOD." With a reeaalll strong emphasis on "GOOOOODD".............. I saw that they had left her $8 bucks

I knew when I wasn't going to get tipped but these were also the people that were going to make my night a living nightmare if I gave them "racist" service...so I'd just go above and beyond and be polite as you could ever be and moved on...and in all reality, black people I waited on LOVED me...and it's easier to bullshit with black people because they are generally FRIENDLIER to strangers/waitstaff then your typical rich white business guy who wants you to leave them the **** alone and get them their ****ing food.

And this has also been my experience

Why do you hate black people, bro?

This just pissed me off.

[Hootie]

all this waiter shit makes me really miss the industry...didn't think I'd say that this soon

they got bought out for about $600 million for a reason. Because almost every location makes ridiculous sales. They kill competition and they are very good about picking locations. The man who founded it is a fantastic businessman. avg around $750-800 per month, the busy winter season, we would do over a mill. lol, that company knows how to make a killing. Every single day Noon - 2pm it's a long wait and every single night 5-10pm it's a very long wait. Every single night. It's not that far fetched.

I can vouche for the Pepper Jack burger at Yard House as a top-of-the-second-tier burger. Their Crunchy Ahi Salad is decent as well.
