Insulting 1% Waitress Tip

Just when you may have thought the ongoing battle between the 99% and the 1% was dying down, it may have been reignited. A wealthy banker left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch at the True Food Kitchen restaurant in Newport Beach, California.

To add insult to injury the word "tip" was circled on the receipt, and the banker wrote "get a real job" on the bill. The picture of the receipt was taken and uploaded to the blog Future Ex-Banker by a person who was dining with the anonymous banker. As expected, the blog received a lot of attention and has now been taken down. The author of the blog wrote, "mention the 99% in my boss' presence and feel his wrath. So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time he feels the server doesn't sufficiently bow down to his holiness."

People online who had a chance to see the blog post before it went offline and those who have been made aware of it on social media outlets are outraged. One person called the tip a "tale of greed and contempt," and another referred to it as "arrogance personified." The Web's general reaction to this story is eerily similar to an almost identical 1% vs. 99% scenario that took place last fall. In Washington state, a waitress received a tip of no money and advice scrawled on the receipt that told her she could "stand to lose a few pounds."

haha the richer they get, they cheaper they become

Here in Thailand it's a custom to leave a 1 baht tip if you are not satisfied about the service.

Irrespective of the status you have or the amount of the bill.

Obviously he was not happy with the service and left a 1% tip.

The story explains that is was not the service that was undesirable but the diners way of asserting his stature or station in life. I bet he gets lots of nasty stuff in his food when he dines out from this point on.

This bankers photo should be posted in every restaurant and he should be refused service until he learns some humility.

If I get bad service I leave a .02 cent tip. A tip is a gratatuity based on service. Not on what is spent.

In my country, there's no tip. You are not allowed to ask for it.
