"I give God 10%, why do you get 18%?"

A man claiming to be a pastor apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God absolved him of having to leave one.
A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.
"I give God 10%," the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. "Why do you get 18?" He then wrote "Pastor" above his signature, and an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)
The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.
“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer, it’s not something I do.”
The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”


All I can do is shake my head. What are your thoughts?

What a douche. Leave a smurffy tip, fine, but don't add insult to injury with such a smug little message.


Not to mention how stupid it is that his "god" would even need money.

I'd like to see him try that with the IRS.

:facepalm: What in the world...

Being forced to tip is stupid.

$34 for a party of 20 people? Lol where does he live. But that's ridiculous

It's so dumb it's hard to believe it's real.

Wow that's bad. I've seen some pretty nasty preachers in my time. It doesn't surprise me anymore.

So don't smurfing tip, but is the message REALLY necessary?

I don't think so. That's how wait staff survive.

lol true! Half the Rich (millionaires) try and pull that crap

If you don't want to tip,then you shouldn't be out to eat/drink/etc.

Quoting Michael Westen:" If you don't want to tip,then you shouldn't be out to eat/drink/etc."

That's pretty much how I feel. I'd never stiff someone unless they were HORRIBLE. I mean, smelly, rude, the whole thing.

The bill was split up, so it was $34 for his meal, not total  

And notes like that do nothing but make the writer look like a cheap douche. This one specifically makes it look like he probably uses his status as a pastor in order to try to get free smurf or that he throws it around when he doesn't get his way. I'm sure God loves having someone like that represent him  

He sounds REAL religious  

but really, he can't even tip at least 15% ...?

If you don't have the money for that smurf, don't smurfing go out to eat.
