A St. Louis Applebee waitress, Chelsea Welch (pictured, inset), was canned after uploading a picture on Reddit of the dining receipt from pastor Alois Bell (pictured) who refused to tip and instead scribbled on the bill, “I give God 10 percent why should you get 18.”

The January 25th incident took place after an unidentified waitress was assigned as the server for a large party of five adults and five children, which reportedly included Pastor Alois Bell, a minister at a fledgling church, Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries.

When Bell was given the dinner tab, she noticed that an 18 percent gratuity had been added, which is customary for the restaurant chain when there are parties greater than six.  The 37-year-old pastor crossed out the automatic tip on the receipt and wrote in a “0″ with a slash through it along with the aforementioned religious message.

Even though Welch saw humor in what Bell had written, the Mother of three did not find the waitress’ actions very funny. When Bell got wind, via a friend, that Welch’s antics involved making the receipt go viral, she took her concerns to Applebee’s management and Welch was let go.

Bell said she is sorry about the incident that took place at the eatery and points out she left a tip of $6.29 cash on the table.  “My heart is really broken,” she told the online site. “I’ve brought embarrassment to my church and my ministry.”
