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.

Pastor was a See You Next Tuesday and stiffed waitress, thus the receipt got posted online. By cause and effect rules, the pastor had a very large part in it.

No. The pastor sucked. The waiter did something stupid. The sucky pastor did not make the waiter do that. People are exceedingly dumb with all of this facebook type crap these days.

A man annoyed me. I killed him. The man did not get me sent to prison. I got myself sent to prison.

Well it's probably not the end of the world...not hard to get a waitstaff job at a place like applebees once you break into the industry...

I will say if someone ever wrote that on a receipt I left them I'd laugh my ass off and show my co-workers as well

And would you be surprised if you got canned because the picture spread online like wildfire?

You'd laugh, but I bet this one cried.

Hootie, come work in my town. I'd enjoy having you wait on me.

I'm totally ignorant of restaurant revenue and Bump mentioned he worked at a $1 million/month restaurant. That made me curious, so I looked up restaurant revenues and found this list from 2010. Holy cow! A couple of these places churn out 1 million meals per year (these are independent and not chains).

There were only 60 restaurants in all of the US that did $1 million/month. Obviously, most are in Vegas, NYC, Chicago, but a few were not in big cities.

I'm wondering if it would be a good hobby to want to eat at all of these places or if you just end up eating in a lot of loud restaurants.

Have you ever eaten at any of those?

I've been to Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington, D.C. That one is especially impressive to me because it is not expensive....that's some volume right there. However, the restaurant was pretty large and there was a ton of seating. I remember that place because some cougar came up and sat by me and started griping about her ex BF that she dumped. Then she proceeded to tell me all about the Department of Commerce and blah blah blah yaddah yaddah yaddah boring and I left.

I have not, I'm sorry to say. I need to get to Vegas just to check some of those restaurants out. I can't imagine what the kitchen must be like in some of those places that serve hundreds of thousands of meals per year.

Isn't Tavern on the Green closed now? Or am I thinking of another NYC iconic restaurant?

No, probably not. The waiter that posted Peyton Manning's mega tip got axed as well.

People are dumb.

Yard House in KCKS isn't top 60!?!?

I'm shocked I tell you.

[Hootie]

If I thought I could move to Vegas and get a waiter job I'd have done it by now...I'm guessing any of them worth a damn make an easy six figures.
