gopher321: Oh, please green this. If true, that's just priceless. This is something that should go viral.

Yep, let's vote this up.

Bathia_Mapes: He wrote "Get a real job" on the receipt. If this waitress and all her fellow waitstaff were to follow this arrogant asshole's advice, just who would serve him the next time he went to a restaurant?

Assholes like this banker never consider that option. I'm sure that he will have a real difficult time getting good service again.
Lulz.

I'm not so sure Mr. Pink would have left a tip, the article didn't say how many times his coffee was refilled or if she was anything special.

I love how they go all Superman 2 in the updates.

Put a 5 in front of the one and change the 3 to an 8, problem solved.

/works for tips
//fark you, bankerman

for continuity's sake, that "one" in my previous post should be a "1"

what_now: Laocoon: Oh he's definitely a pompous dick, but even the submitter from TFA said Dick only does this when service doesnt meet his expectations.

Which are what...exactly?

If the service is so bad that you don't want to leave at least a 15% tip, you should speak to the manager.

Yes, and possibly get the server fired. No, if the service is truly bad, leave no tip. hopefully the server will learn how to better their work efforts.

but looking at the snide comment, I'm going with this guy being an entitled dick who cheated his way up the corporate ladder.

The authors have deleted this blog.

I guess the future became the present.

Did she offer to give him a blowjob in the back room? If not, I can't find fault with the guy.

How do we know that the service wasn't horrible and that the server didn't deserve to be mocked?

if i was his bartender, he'd get a Bear Grylls cocktail

Laocoon: How much is the manager going to pay me for my services as his operations consultant?

My wife and her family got 20% off the total bill a couple of weeks ago when the service was ridiculously slow. Having said that, the manager seemed to know that already and came over to see whether they had enjoyed their lunch.

"Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. Do not fark with us."

/what a prick

I live in a tourists city. Most folks who visit here are wealthy retirees from union states. Many eating establishments had to start including the tip in the bill to compensate the servers. Sad that so many are that selfish. This is exactly why tipping should be abolished in America and simply pay the servers better.

Good thing they blocked out all the pertinent info on the receipt, or we'd never guess where it was.

My tip for you: 'irregardless' is not a real word.

"... a true 1% tip correctly rounded to the nearest penny would have been $1.34, leaving this tip just shy of that threshold, mathematically speaking."

Banker math always rounds down.

Unless you owe them.

You don't deserve tips. You're lucky you're even getting a paycheck. If it weren't for lazy assholes, you wouldn't even have a job. People have been feeding themselves for millennia. You carry food maybe a hundred feet for people who are simply too lazy to get it themselves. If anyone in a restaurant actually deserves a tip, it's the chef. They're doing all the actual WORK.

9beers: How do we know that the service wasn't horrible and that the server didn't deserve to be mocked?

1.) Because of the snide manner in which the blogger presented the story

2.) Because blogger was so horrified by said bosses' behavior toward the waitress he/she felt compelled to photograph the receipt and blog about the incident as a way to vent about how much of a dick his boss is when dealing with people he views as beneath him

LindyJohn: My tip for you: 'irregardless' is not a real word.

Nonsense. Its perfectly cromulent...

Mugato: 9beers: How do we know that the service wasn't horrible and that the server didn't deserve to be mocked?

Then wouldn't he write "you suck at waitressing" instead of impugning her career choice?

I would also add that 10% is normally considered a bare minimum for average service. Great service is deserving of 20%. Sure, if the service is poor enough to consider not giving a tip at all then you should speak to the owner.

If you are working for wage-an-hour do you normally have your wages docked for a less than satisfactory performance? Probably not, you would simply lose your job eventually. The 10% tip IS part of a server's wages. Under very rare circumstances should it be reduced.

Pert: LindyJohn: My tip for you: 'irregardless' is not a real word.

Nonsense. Its perfectly cromulent...

Ha. South Park reference. In actuality it doesn't fit into the definition of "cromulent" since it does not make grammatical sense. It is a double negative and incorrect at the very base of English. Just saying...

If that's a restaurant he frequents often, I'm guessing he'll never get a booger-free meal there again...

I NEVER, EVER piss off the people who manage my food. I don't send stuff back EVER, unless I order a burger and I get a squid or something. I'm paranoid about that, but this guy certainly earned whatever unpleasant substances make their way into his meals in the future. He really should have thought about that comment much more carefully before being a Grade-A dickhead.

As a former accountant, I can honestly say that I've never met a banker with a real job.

Tyler was now involved in a class action lawsuit against the Pressman Hotel over the urine content of their soup.

Thank you for confirming that I'm actually a good tipper...

JerkStore: He really should have thought about that comment much more carefully before being a Grade-A dickhead.

More than likely he did put some thought into it, and came to the conclusion that he was actually being helpful. Dickheads are like that.

It's hard to try to take a morally superior position when it's implied (if not stated outright) you'll tamper with people's food. That's a crime- Assault, if I recall correctly. It's also de facto blackmail, if not de jure.

And the 99% claims the 1% are the bad guys??

Why lower yourself to their level?

Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS

Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
