Pastor leaves no tip
A man claiming to be a pastor left a note for his waiter about why he wasn’t leaving a tip. Waiter Gat Flan posted this receipt. It says “I give God 10%, why do you get 18?” The person who posted the receipt on Reddit noted the pastor even complimented him on the service. He added, “My mistake sir, I’m sure Jesus will pay for my rent and groceries.”

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
My thought is why does the restaraunt automatically add 18%..... I tip based on performance and I would be pissed to see a receipt with the 18% already added....... (I know they add it to groups larger than 8 but that receipt looks like a party of 1 or 2)

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
I agree, though I rarely go to the kind of place that thinks this is acceptable. I tip as you do, based on performance.BIGC wrote:My thought is why does the restaraunt automatically add 18%.....

My comment above relates to the fact that "pastors" like the "reverend" Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson immediately came to mind.

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
I really have doubts about this kind of thing. There have been a couple similar ones that have been proven to be fake.

This. Reddit is (mostly) mindless liberal drones waiting for someone to play the God card or the gay card or whatever card happens to send them into a feeding frenzy that day. Most of this stuff is made up.ChopperDoc wrote:I really have doubts about this kind of thing. There have been a couple similar ones that have been proven to be fake.

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
A follow up to a story I shared yesterday. Should this lady have been fired?

Applebee’s fires waitress who posted receipt from pastor complaining about auto-tip
An Applebee's waitress who posted a receipt with a note from a pastor complaining about the automatic gratuity added to the bill on the Internet was fired on Wednesday after the pastor complained to her manager.
Chelsea Welch, the waitress, wrote in an email to Yahoo News that the pastor (who has since been identified as Alois Bell) told Welch's manager at the St. Louis-area Applebee's that the ensuing firestorm had "ruined" her reputation.
"I give God 10%," Bell wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip and scribbling in an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. "Why do you get 18?" (There were more than eight people in Bell's party, triggering the auto-tip.)
Welch, who snapped a photo of the bill from a fellow server and uploaded to Reddit, defended her right to post the receipt. "I thought the note was insulting, but also comical," she told Consumerist.com. "And I thought other users would find it entertaining.”
Bell, a pastor at Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries Church, was not amused, and she called Welch's manager to complain.
“[It was] a lapse in my character and judgment,” Bell told the Smoking Gun, adding she did not expect her easily recognizable signature would be, as her friend informed her, “all over Yahoo. You went viral!”
“My heart is really broken,” Bell added. “I’ve brought embarrassment to my church and ministry.”
A spokesman for Applebee’s said it apologized to Bell for violating her "right to privacy" and confirmed that Welch “is no longer employed by the franchise."
Welch was surprised that Applebee's fired her, "especially because there was nothing specific in the employee handbook admonishing this behavior."
"I had no intention of starting a witch hunt or hurting anyone. I just wanted to share a picture I found interesting," she said. “I come home exhausted, sore, burnt, dirty and blistered on a good day. And after all that, I can be fired for ‘embarrassing’ someone who directly insults their server on religious grounds.”
Welch also isn't buying Bell's embarrassment. “If this person wrote the note, obviously they wanted it seen by someone," she said. “I’ve been stiffed on tips before, but this is the first time I’ve seen the Big Man used as reasoning."

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
Ate at Fern Creek Applebees and it cost more than 35.00 bucks
And I would have done the same thing 8 peaple or not.
I have gave a tip of a quarter, told the waiteress that was 22 cents more than she was worth.
I also tip more 18 % for good service.

Pastor leaves no tip
That pastor got a worker fired and said he was embarrassed as he should be! How dare you try some belittling a thankless job and skipping a decent tip especially when you commended her on her service. You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize for getting someone fired who shared their story of someone belittling them and calling a spade a spade. That pastor is a joke and ill tell him to his face. If your god is watching you now I can't see how he would be proud of what you just did.

Re: Pastor leaves no tip
Wonder what the pastors next sermon will be on? Maybe how not to be an ass? She should be ashamed of herself. Sucks for the waitress but such is life in our disposable economy!
