God wants you to tip, even at Applebee’s

I didn’t want to believe this story when I first read it in The Consumerist. A restaurant server says he got stiffed by a church pastor, who wrote on the receipt: “I give God 10 percent. Why do you get 18?” The diner wrote “pastor” over his signature. To absolve his sin, perhaps?

The waitress who posted the receipt was not the waitress stiffed that night. She thought the comment on the receipt was funny and snapped a photo of it, which she posted on Reddit. She was later fired by her employer, a franchise restaurant in the Kansas City-based Applebee’s chain.
