-- 作者： rainbow <pre>在美國，標準的小費是賬單的15%. 如果侍應生服務好, 應該給超過15%. 因為侍應生基本工資低, 依賴小費存活.
這個又名為「垃圾客人資料庫」的網址，包括歌紅星「蘿霸」珍妮花·羅庇絲，她涉嫌到曼哈頓一家沒有點名的餐館用餐，結賬350元，只給1.27元的小費。據悉「蘿霸」用餐時還嫌飲水太冷，要求侍應生加熱。 另一項簡訊紀錄的是歌影天后巨星巴巴拉·史翠珊，她到一家餐館吃餐後結賬457元，只付10元小費，相當於賬單的2%。 網址還指她要求最好的餐桌，卻粗魯地對待每個人，但又不付小費。 還有一些大明星與歌星，如「靚佬湯」--湯告魯斯，女星KATIE HOLMES，青春歌手小天后BRITNEY SPEARS與老牌男歌星BARRY MANILOW等亦被列入「壞分子」名單。一位嬉哈歌星ISSAC HAYES，他到一家曼哈頓餐館吃飯，竟然完全不付小費。 但也有一些受到該網址讚揚的人士，包括電台名咀HOWARD STERN，據悉他曾拿出一把百元鈔票，像名片一般的派發。 還有一位新進女影星NATALIE PORTMAN，她有一次吃了150元的餐，給45元小費，還給影迷簽名。
-- 作者： rainbow <pre>http://www.postchronicle.com/news/entertainment/article_2121515.shtml Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez, Barbra Streisand: Lousy Tippers BitterWaitress.com has thousands of entries listing the identities of the generous gratuity avoiders. The so-called 'Shitty Tipper Database' has famous names and regular citizen's side-by-side for turning cheap when the check came. Tipper's Name: Tom Cruise "What a b*&ch!" declared one entry, after she allegedly left only $1.27 as a tip on $350 bill at an unnamed Manhattan restaurant. Another entry claimed that Barbra Streisand was equally cheapo in her tipping habits Britney Spears is another with a 'rap' sheet of multiple offenses. Barry Manilow, another repeat offender allegedly tipped only $60 on a $564 bill complaining "his flan was too 'caramelly.' " Superstar Yankees Shortstop Derek Jeter reportedly left a 3 percent tip on a $54.00 bill. Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams is a multiple offender - leaving between 7-8%. According to the New York Post, Reps for the stars listed on the website could not be reached for comment. Anyone can apparently post to the Web site - so there is no real way to tell if the allegations are true or not. Not all people named in the database were given a rough review. A few got praised for their deep pockets. Howard Stern was lauded as a modern-day 'Ol Blue Eyes, who was legendary for handing out $100 bills like they were business cards. Natalie Portman was also praised, after allegedly giving a $45 tip for a $150 bill. She reportedly signed autographs as well. </pre>
-- 作者： rainbow http://www.americanthinker.com/comments.php?comments_id=3744 Bad tippers and bitter waitresses Once, years ago, I heard a heard a lecture by a rabbi on dating. He advised that if your date treats a waiter/waitress or a busboy in a condescending and mean manner, that is the way they will treat you after a while – if you were to marry them. Today’s New York Post had an article about cheap celebrity tippers listed on the website www.bitterwaitress.com. I went there to see how many well known political “champions of the little guy and gal” rated. I cross referenced the website with liberals from Bernard Goldberg’s Hundred People Screwing Up America. Let’s see. First up, Michael Moore, 3% tip. Tipper’s Name: Michael Moore (yes THAT Michael Moore) Where it happened: Los Angeles Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $452.25 / $17.74 / 3% What happened: OK i ran my ass off for this guy and his friends. Funny I didnt know this guy had friends, maybe they were kissups. 2.5 hours they spent shoveling food down their fat faces. Numerous refills. By the way MM is a pompous ass judging from his treatment of the staff. Let’s see again. Barbra Streisand, 2% tip. Tipper’s Name: Barbra Streisand Where it happened: New York Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $457.00 / $10.00 / 2% What happened: She demanded the best table, acting rude to everyone and then barely tipped. Next “champion of the people,” Jessie Jackson 9% tip. Tipper’s Name: Jesse Jackson Restaurant: Sam’s Where it happened: Kansas City Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $228.00 / $22.00 / 9% What happened: rude,arrogant,demanding and cheap Next up, Sen. John Kerry, 2% tip. Tipper’s Name: John F. Kerry Where it happened: St. Louis Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $773.24 / $20.00 / 2% What happened: Added $20.00 on the signature line and then scribbled a little note to vote for him. What a load of crap. Kerry’s former running mate, Sen. John Edwards, 2% tip. Tipper’s Name: John Edwards Where it happened: Washington, D.C. Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $746.25 / $13.75 / 1% What happened: This is the guy running for Vice President… Sat in our private section for 3 1/2 hours and left less than 2%. Jackass. Former VP Al Gore. 8% tip. Tipper’s Name: Former VP Al Gore Where it happened: Alexandria, VA Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $40.00 / $3.50 / 8% What happened: Al and Tipper Gore were regulars at the restaurant I used to work at. You’d think this would be cool, waiting on a former Vice President. And it would be, if not for the fact that Al Gore is cheap. Last time they came in, Tipper actually spilled her beer on me (it’s not smart to gesture wildly with a bottle of Corona on your table). She didn’t apologize—he apologized for her. Still. Less than 10%. You’d think they’d know that the ‘underclass’ the Democrats claim to represent are people like waitresses in VA making $2.13 an hour. Guess not. Lastly, Sean Penn, 0% tip. Nada. Zip. Zero. Tipper’s Name: Sean Penn Where it happened: New Orleans Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $450.00 / $0.00 / 0% What happened: Sean Penn is in New Orleans filming & came into my restaurant with 3 other people. Waited on them hand and foot. The bill $450.00 – the tip: none. Cheapskate. There you have it. The champions of “fairness” and “the little guy.” Yes, President Bush and VP Cheney made the website as well. But who is claiming them as champions of the poor and oppressed victims, advocating extra government payments to make up for past suffering, etc.? Jack Kemp (not the politician) 11 26 05 Thomas Lifson adds: I have followed Bitter Waitress for years. It is well-known in the food and beverage industry, and at least at the upscale restaurants, it has a big following among the wait staff. When one of these bozos comes in, they usually will not treat them overtly rudely. But vengeance of another sort may sometimes occur. Let the diner beware. Most people realize that watitrons (that’s the non-sex-specific term favored theses days, believe it or not) are usually paid less than minimum wage, and that tips provide the margin of survival (to use leftist terminology) for them. To stiff a tip is to relegate someone to below minimum wage. This makes the behavior of these compassionate liberals all the more phony. Judge them by their deeds not their words. I absolutely agree with Jack’s rabbi that the best way to judge someone’s character is to observe behavior with those who have no power or standing, and to do so in private in the case of celebrities and politicians. I have used this as a guide to friendships for almost my entire life, and it has proven highly reliable.
