I mean, I can't imagine that this asshole thinks he's EVER going to eat there again without getting a spit-and-semen burger, right? Frankly, if I owned that place, I'd give the wait staff permission to shoot him on sight.

Note that Future Ex-Banker has removed his blog, where this originally appeared. Alas, since everyone the Newport Beach financial center (100+ banks, investment advisers, traders & private equity firms in the neighborhood of Newport Center Dr.) has probably already seen this, I fear he might be Prematurely Ex-Banker.
Pretty much 90% of the lunchtime crowd around there will be financial types or their office employees. Lunchtime shift waiting jobs are probably pretty good gigs for UC-Irvine students, assuming pricks like this guy are uncommon.

haha i just got a 0 on a larger order than that, but it happens all the time in catering/deliveries. i would much rather get an asshole like that (i never have) than the usual people who jump through all sorts of hoops to not own up to the fact that they're screwing you over.

businessmen otoh are typically pretty good with tipping (esp when there's someone around to impress or they're signing on an account that isn't theirs) but they are the worst human beings to ever have to deal with in a restaurant. children, all of them.

what i don't get is... if waiting tables isn't a "real job" and everyone actually got a "real job", who the fuck would be left to serve this guy his fucking food???
i know ppl usually meant well, but when i was a waitress i would often get ppl asking me "so what else do you do?", as if they thought that waitressing FT was not an option. and sometimes, even when i would reply "uh i waitress full time", ppl would still insist "yeah but WHAT ELSE do you do??" "NOTHING bc running around a non-airconditioned restaurant for 40 hrs a week without breaks is really fucking exhausting".

it encompasses both investment bankers and waitresses. just about anyone who doesn't grow food or work in a factory yet still gets paid money for some reason.

it's still astonishing in the big picture, we have some people who are so good at growing food that everyone else just gets to sit at desks or walk around and do things for other people all day, and somehow it works out

leaving susan b anthony and sacajawea dollars at a bar as a tip: too much?
― un® (dayo), Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
The only complaint I've ever heard is when you give them a handful of coins while ordering a drink at a busy bar. Otherwise, it's all legal tender.
― pplains, Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:44 (twelve years ago) link
Whenever my mom got dollar coins as waitressing tips, she would hoard them away in a sock, which I never understood at all. So if you're giving them to people like my mom, you're giving them money they'll never spend. I think it's unusual behavior, though.
― Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:39 (twelve years ago) link
I pulled the whole two-dollar bill thing for awhile. I knew when I was going out, I was going to tip, and I knew that I was going to tip more than one dollar. Might as well save room in my wallet.
― pplains, Saturday, 9 June 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
I picked up a bunch of dollar coins at one point for tipping and random use. May do so again, but it won't be as cool as the ones I got with Millard Fillmore on them.

a sock full of coins makes a handy cosh/blackjack for smacking bad tippers

how much to tip at a waxing appointment?
― chupacabra seeds (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 01:15 (twelve years ago) link
also I was wondering if it's ok to just ask "what do people normally tip?" if you're paying at the front counter or whatever
― chupacabra seeds (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it totally is. or just call ahead and ask.
for a salon service like that i'd tip 15% - 25%, but no less than $10.
― ♆ (gr8080), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 02:08 (twelve years ago) link
i love it when people ask me that, it means i might get a tip.

http://gawker.com/5925465/family-fulfills-deceased-mans-dying-wish-purchase-a-pizza-and-give-the-server-a-500-tip
30-year-old Aaron Collins passed away last week, leaving behind one final wish for his family: To go have a pizza and leave the waiter or waitress a $500.As Aaron sadly had no money with which to fulfill his wish, the family started a website to solicit donations. After just a few days, they reached their goal and headed out to Puccini's to make Aaron's last wish come true.In the video's description, Aaron's brother Seth writes: We think he just wanted to provide a random act of kindness and generosity for someone he thought was under appreciated; the kind of thing that would make a lasting impact they would never forget.And the family's not done yet: They are still accepting donations, and say they will do this again "each time we have $500."

always thought it was on the post-tax but noticed the other day on the bill it had a suggested amount, which was 20% of the pre-tax
