Get a real job! The note with 1 per cent tip left by wealthy banker after $133 lunch as an insult to the 99 per cent
An arrogant banker has done all in his power to enforce his position as the ‘one per cent,’ all the while reminding everyone else they’re not.
After dining on a meal at a boutique Newport Beach, California restaurant, the banker left only $1.33 on a $133.54 tab.
Adding insult to injury, he gave the server, Breanna, another tip: ‘Get a real job.’
The banker’s belligerent behaviour at True Food Kitchen was documented by his dining companion, who posted a photo of the receipt to Twitter, alerting Eater’s Receiprocity blog.
The post - and corresponding blog - was later deleted.
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.’
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.’
While servers often receive the brunt of a diner’s anger in form of a low or non-existent tip, it is customary to tip a minimum of 15 per cent for good service.
A hostess for True Food Kitchen told LAList.com that she had heard about the receipt but could neither confirm nor deny if it was real, nor if she remembered the customer.
‘We have no statement on the issue,’ she said.
Vice President of operations for True Food Kitchen told the Huffington Post that the receipt in question is real, but they’re in the process of tracking him down.
Mr Wilcox added the restaurant will do ‘everything they can to make it up to (Breanna) somehow.’
