News Pastor refuses to tip "I give GOD 10% why do you get 18%" - Page 16

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 really want to give this restaurant some free consulting. They have no expensive menu items to bring the average bill up, and they don't serve any desserts, and they do unlimited chips and salsa if you buy it for $4. I go in there and as a non-drinker it's almost impossible for me to spend more than $15. My wife says they don't care about me because they're more interested in selling booze, but I still think they're leaving a lot of money on the table by having a poorly planned food menu.

that's why I said I'd hate to be a server at BWW on a Sunday because it's just awkward...everyone is there to watch football and after they are done eating if they aren't drinking it's just...awkward. You have no idea if they need service, if they need a check, if they want another drink...

but it seems like you have all the principles down pat...regardless of how much you hate them!

I agree with you though...I used to laugh myself all the way to the bank as a server. It is a very, very flawed system.

I agree tip jars are lame but man, I wouldn't want to work at a Baskin Robins.

One of my good friends worked at a baskin robins throughout high school. That was good enough for her. She didn't want to do anything more than that. She still lives with her parents working at baskin robins 12 years later. Some people are just set in their ways regardless of their pay. Sucks because she could be a great server since she has to interact with kids all the time and when a sever gets the kids happy and quiet the tip really reflects the job well done and she doesn't know what she really can make in money at a real job.

I'm not making fun of those people...I just would never do a job for $9 an hour. Those that do, I don't mind throwing a $1 their way for serving me some badass ice cream. Whatever.

I doubt I spend hundreds per month on beer. Consistently anyway. I don't drink beer every day, and I rarely have more than one beer when I do drink. And I tend to tip 20% and no more. And I came up in a single-parent home with that parent being a teacher in a rural school district. No silver there.

It just doesn't add up. Plus the shoe collection. Tell us, Reaper! Drug dealer? FWIW I'm pretty much a silver spooner.

Yeah but he also spends all that time in academia. Im just curious

Thig Lyfe · 01-30-2013, 01:28 PM

Maybe if he didn't throw so much money at somebody who doesn't exist, he'd be able to afford tipping somebody who does.

In58men · 01-30-2013, 01:32 PM

What does giving a tip have to do with giving a tip?

Stupid ****s

Like you're dream man Thigpen? He doesn't exist the way you think he does. That must have been what you were REEFERING too.

It's interesting to me to think about career progressions. When I was 15, it was a big deal to work at Dairy Queen. While we may think of Baskin Robbins as a low-level job, it's quite the experience to the 16 year-old kid for whom it's their first job, so they take it very seriously. I think the system works well in that regard, and it's a good reason to be respectful of the kid behind the counter.

I'll admit that I feel bad, though, when I see a 40 or 50 year-old behind the counter. I figure they either had a bad career setback or they don't live a very prosperous life. It sure does mean that they have a work ethic, though.

Reaper bugs me because he thinks he's better than everyone at everything while also knowing more about everything than everyone.

It doesn't surprise me that he thinks waiters at 5 star restaurants do so much more than waiters at "Applebee's" because they tell you their special, wear a tuxedo, and pour your wine while saying "sir" and "madam"...

Reaper has so much class!!!!!!!!! He even knows how to watch movies better than us!
