Quote:

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.

anybody who's ever worked in the front of a restaurant will tell you that Sunday is the most dreaded day of the week and that's soley because of the church people.

Sure sounds like you are speaking in absolutes. Are there any other "groups" of people that you can clump together and make grand sweeping statements about? Jews... or blond haired and blue eyed individuals?

Sunday was never the most dreaded day for me to work...I don't know WTF he's talking about. I never worked Sunday's during football season but I didn't mind working one bit on a Sunday and usually could make pretty good money, too.

Hootie · 01-31-2013, 06:25 PM

I hated Monday and Tuesday nights, though...if I'm going to be at work, I want to work. Slow nights just pissed me off.

Don't worry. He has 3 agendas: anti corporation, anti Christian, and pro weed for everything.

I didn't get it, and when I didn't laugh he said "Get used to hearing about Canadians. That's what we call the black people here."

you've never seen Waiting, flop?

I should've known. No, I haven't seen it. I'll have to find it and check it out.

Hootie · 01-31-2013, 06:50 PM

it's ok I find it a bit overrated even though I'm a Reynolds fan...but yeah, they refer to black people as Canadians in that movie so the term really took off...

I don't think I ever heard it BEFORE Waiting, but I certainly heard it a lot afterwards. I honestly can't remember. I was young and at my first restaurant when that movie came out.

Hootie · 01-31-2013, 06:51 PM

my experience with black people in Dallas and Chicago is 80% either don't tip or max out at $2 regardless of amount of bill, and the other 20% drastically overtip to make up for the aforementioned 80% in hopes they don't get shit service no matter what for just being black.

Hootie · 01-31-2013, 06:52 PM

I had, if I were to guess, a 95% success rate in guessing the exact tip a table would leave me before they left it. The ones I missed were generally when someone tipped over 25%.

I could never do that. I had an idea of a range, but sometimes I was wrong and they left me shit. I could very rarely guess on an over 25% tip. Sometimes it was obvious, but they did it on purpose to insure they would be treated well.

As far as black people go, I bust people's balls for racism all the time around here. My experience is, in Branson, MO, they don't tip nearly as well. I've only been flat out stiffed 4 times. 3 times? Yep, black couples. Most would leave a couple of bucks on a $100 so I usually knew there was a good chance I was going to pay to wait on them, but I didn't care. Can't get wrapped up in that shit.

And the ones that overtipped to make up for the other ones, always were real obvious right out of the gate. Like you said, to make sure they got good service. We had pretty similar styles though. Treat them all the same. Treat them all the best. Let the money work itself out.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-31-2013, 07:01 PM

Looking back on it, I actually think I treated black people with a little extra. Not for the hope of money, I knew better. Stevieray calls it my white guilt. I dunno. I did want them to feel incredibly respected and cared for while they were with me.
