I'm sure most of you remember the story.

She's claiming that despite what she wrote on the receipt (pictured below), she actually left the auto 18% tip, AND an additional $6.29 on the table in cash. I think she's full of shit on both accounts. She actually tried to explain her actions that her church is small and there isn't much money...but then claims she left two tips. Bullshit. The server(s) wouldn't have kept that information to themselves.

The only thing I can think is she ended up being charged the 18% despite her wishes (even if true, she's claiming she "left" the 18%), because that is company policy and it's printed on the menu...but I don't see her declining the auto-tip and then leaving cash. Makes no sense.

that's sinful

Nobody cares until someone references religion. Then it's "SRS BUSNESS. " or "FACE PALM ."

The whole thing is comical if you stand back and look at it objectively.

Actually, people would probably get pissed if she stiffed the waitress, even if she wasn't a pastor.

2/27/2013 1:33:49 PM

if you take religion out of it, she's still a dick

"all of gods representatives on earth took a vow of poverty.... i didn't"
would be my reply.


btw... how do you give god your money throw the cash in the air?

2/27/2013 1:37:17 PM

People would still be pissed without the religion aspect. But the fact that she seems to have used her religious position as a justification of being an asshole is what makes the story.

full disclosure: i mostly just wanted to start a tipping thread

2/27/2013 1:39:16 PM

She probably was charged the 18% anyways, even if she marked it out.

2/27/2013 1:45:15 PM

Even if so, I doubt she left any cash.

2/27/2013 1:46:51 PM

I would love to see her 1040: I give God 10% why do you get 25




Oh wait, that actually works.

2/27/2013 2:26:27 PM

a story about black people being bad tippers. Shocker.

2/27/2013 2:37:55 PM

Religious people being mean assholes....nothing to see here

2/27/2013 2:44:50 PM

"i'd be happy with 10% of an entire group of suckers congregation's income too"

would be my other reply

2/27/2013 2:53:56 PM

they should pick a more fiscally responsible god who isn't always asking for handouts

2/27/2013 2:57:40 PM

I thought the pastor was the one that actually got your 10%..

2/27/2013 8:25:02 PM

My view, since you pretty much asked, is that if she didn't want to leave a tip, there are far more tactful and nicer ways to do so. She's basically just a cunt.


Don't worry, you're still a tool.

2/28/2013 12:14:52 AM

I give the government 52%, why do you get 18%?

2/28/2013 8:48:54 AM

So do you tip on the subtotal or the total? I always heard subtotal but that place obviously wants you to use the total.

2/28/2013 2:28:01 PM

obvs. the only way for a $6 tip to also be an 18% tip is for the price before tip to be $33.33

2/28/2013 2:39:20 PM

^ huh? she's claiming she left both

2/28/2013 2:56:04 PM

I was responding as if one tip were meant to be both

just to be funny
