Update: 1 Percent Tip Story a Hoax!


 New developments suggest that the receipt (shown above) from the restaurant in CA may have been digitally altered.

According to the website the Smoking Gun, True Food Kitchen’s spokesperson said it found the original merchant copy of the receipt, and the one circulating the Internet was “altered and exaggerated.” The original receipt does not contain the tip “Get a real job.” Also, the real bill was for $33, not $133, and the tip given was $7.33, not $1.33.

Because the story outraged so many readers, the restaurant owner was determined to get to the truth of the matter.

*************************************

Usually a tip should be 5 percent or 20 percent of your bill and some restaurants will automatically add it to a party of 8 people or more.

Apparently this wasn’t the case when a wealthy banker left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch bill 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.

A picture of the receipt was taken and uploaded by a person who was dining with the anonymous banker. The person 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.”

Do you all remember some time ago, in Washington state, when 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.” That message was not only rude and ignorant, but how did the advice to the waitress tie into the person being served? How did her weight prevent her from doing her job?

Regardless of a person’s profession, looks, weight or otherwise, they should always be respected and appreciated when a service is rendered.

  2. What an idiot. If everyone took his advice and got a “real” job, society would collapse. I have way more respect for construction workers, plumbers, and yes even waitresses than I do for some punk ass wall street banker.

  3. These servers depend on their tips. They have families too. Sometimes they don’t even get a paycheck so the tips are all the income they get.

  4. Was this banker making a statement about POOR SERVICE???. Personally, I give a full tip even if service is bad because (a) I have worked service jobs and (b) I give the server the benefit of the doubt, not knowing what’s going on in their life

  14. “Usually a tip should be 5 percent or 20 percent of your bill….”
    5 OR 20%? That’s a big difference. Did you mean 15 or 20%? I could see 5% at the low end for bad service. 18% is pretty common for restaurants to add for large parties, to make sure the waitstaff doesn’t get shafted for their work.

    The base rate of pay for serving is ridiculously low, below minimum wage in places (legally — service workers are often under a different government minimum wage structure), and it’s assumed by employers and the government that income from tips will make up the difference. Despite the fact that tips are voluntary and subject to the whims of people like the 1% banker. Benefits and retirement? Ha! Not usually part of the job. Unless the service is so bad that you feel they really deserve little or no tip, you really screw over your waiter or waitress if you leave less than 10%. For hard, customer-oriented work that said 1% banker wouldn’t last 1 hour doing.

        When Tracy posted a couple of weeks ago about Whitney Houston’s death that was a fact confirmed by the news. No Hoax. When Tracy wrote about her children’s book being in the Walmart competition again, those are facts NO hoax. It is Tracy’s responsibility as a writer and a good one to post and write what she believes to be true, in the event it turns out to be otherwise, it is AGAIN her responsibility to own up to what is false. Every situation deserves the benefit of the doubt. Just like all are innocent until proven guilty.
