Consider the source. They aren’t called “Yahoos” for nothin’ you know...

[henkster]

Once again people will jump to conclusions without all the facts. Maybe the waitress gave really crappy service. Insulting service can be rewarded by an insulting tip. In which case the bill and relative wealth of the patron are irrelevant.

[pgkdan]

Perhaps the waitress should work on improving the level of her service.

[circlecity]

I’ll take this with a major grain of salt until I’m convinced it’s not a phony set up job by some OWS affiliated waitress.

[liberalh8ter]

I call BS on this story. It's as manufactured as anything Nancy Pelosi says.

[InsidiousMongo]

I left some a-hole a dollar tip because he delivered cold food, paid more attention to the young girls sitting behind us, and was on his cell phone at the water station rather than getting us a refill on our drinks.

The people that complain over this crap should really eat at restaurants with poor service more often to see why some of us tip so low.

Yahoo is becoming more and more pathetic with their political advocacy.

[Theoria]

Nobody is required to leave anything.

[television is just wrong]

I have a friend who joked about things a lot.

This joke I found humorous. I wore a checked shirt one day. he said, “must be payday you wore your small checked shirt”.

Why should people get a tip as incentive for doing a job properly? If they are not willing to do the job, they should be fired.

A wealthy banker left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch at the True Food Kitchen restaurant in Newport Beach, California.

If this story is at all true, and that is always in doubt from Yahoo, then I would imagine that the bankster's exact 1% tip was a result of OWS-type badgering he received either from the waitress or others staff. This was his payback.

[shoff]

Forget the 1% why don’t they do a story on how minorities tip? Just ask anyone in the service industry.

[jimnm]

The waitress probably gave poor service and the jerk he was dining with had an axe to grind with his boss. That, or it’s a fake story to fan the class flames. If the story is actually true, it wouldn’t hurt the waitress to get a ‘real job’ as the one percenter suggests.

I am usually generous with tips even when the service is mediocre. I have only never left a tip once. The attitude of the current generation of servers is poor as they expect at least fifteen percent for their ‘hard work’ regardless of the service. It just goes along with people raised to believe that they ‘deserve’ something regardless of their own personal efforts. This may have something to do with many servers having useless arts/humanities/aa/womens/transgender studies degrees which were, at one time, rewarded in the workplace but with our financial shakeout, no longer are.

[Repeat Offender]

I once left $.02 on the table at an Applebees. I have yet to eat at another.......in going on nine years.

My two cents......."your service sucks."

[Persevero]

I doubt any wealthy banker is in the 1%. You have to be at least a multi-millionare, I think.

[Responsibility2nd]

FutureExBanker, wrote in a now-deleted post: ‘I work in the corporate office of a major bank for a boss who represents everything wrong with the financial industry.’

The blogger said that his boss will tip exactly one per cent of the bill ‘every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his Holiness.’

One more thing: He wrote in another 'tip' and told server Breanna to 'get a real job'

The disgruntled employee continued: ‘(My boss) has blatant disregard and outright contempt for everyone and everything he deems beneath him.

‘On top of that,’ the banker wrote,’ he’s a complete and utter tool.’

It’s not the crappy tip, it’s the note that she should “get a real job”.

Mr. Asshole might think about that. If everyone “got a real job”, then he wouldn’t have anyone waiting on him.

If everyone “got a real job”, then he would have to fix his own food and get his own coffee.

No, we don’t have all of the story, but there are more than enough idiots and jerks out there that this could easily be true.

Lord knows I know enough people that I won’t go have dinner with because they treat the waitstaff like garbage and then leave little or no tips. And many of these carry minister credentials.

[Da Coyote]

R U sure it wasn’t the Obamaloon?

After all, computing a 10% of $133 and doubling it would be far beyond the Cretin-in-Chief’s mental abilities.

[dfwgator]

Mr. Pink would approve.

[albie]

A tip is not required. He didn’t run out on the bill. He was obviously treated poorly so he left next to nothing. So what? When I tip, it’s either 20% or nothing.
