Banker’s Insulting Waitress Tip Incites Class Warfare Between the 1% and the 99%

A few years ago I was helping out at a benefit yard sale for our local library. I was sitting at a table selling stuff that ppl had donated when up walks this guy and starts haggling me for a $10 dollar lamp. After a few minutes he finally walks away with lamp for 5 bucks and a shit eating grin. The very next day the local paper features an article on the first billionaire to move to our area and guess who's picture I see in the article?
Yep, what an asshole.

My response to this before I knew it was fake....

Hope you guys understand that you're falling right into the "class warfare" mindset this supposed "reporter" wants you to. In fact, today, I'd bet she probably actually believes the crap she is spewing - in fact, we've all become so brainwashed, most seem to accept anything the MSM feeds us without question, it's almost funny (almost).

Granted, the "banker" may well have been as absolute #$%$ that needs to find God, but this is a personal personality flaw, and not indicative of the "1%" or even "Bankers" in general. Most people simply aren't this idiotic without reason....

In fact, it might even be possible that the "waitress" was an absolutle sloth with no people skills....In fact, she might have been watching something similar to the crap above (Yahoo's "report"), and approached the customer with such a chip on her shoulder, she may have been lucky she ever received a tip at all. Did you ever think this might be a possiblilty - or that maybe that this story is simply make-believe designed to rev you up to think ALL bankers are lowdown criminals with no thought of anyone but themselves? If so, I can confidently state that you're an extremely misguided soul that needs to pull your head out of the TV/Media mindtrap (and your #$%$), and think really hard before passing judgement.

Most of the folks I know in this category (the 1%, of which i am not), are the most genuine, caring people I know. Many of them came from NOTHING (or something close to it), care more about others in need than themselves, and would do just about anything for someone truly in need of it - and I fully intend to join them in time, God willing. In other words, the "1%" or the "rich" that our divisive media now wants you to hate is precisely what made this country what it is - they are the American dream, the very reason you have a job, and the very reason this country became the POWER it was until this libitard insanity took over.

These leftist folks are only following a controlled agenda in an attempt to further brainwash you into thinking it's "cool" to be poor and dependent on the Government - so you must despise those that have broken the chains - and continue voting for them. The only reason for this is their handlers' desire to gain additional control over your lives, and until you realize this, they will continue to control more and more - and YOU will be frigging increasingly miserable until you begin to think for yourselves.

In short, WAKE UP before we all become the 100% after the supposed "1%" leaves the country entirely, and you can no longer blame them for your ills, nor find a frigging job, feed your family, or even pursue the dream that gave THEM the financial ability to leave the damned country. Instead, when they're gone, you will endeavor to keep your mouths shut so you don't suddenly become "conspicuous," because there won't be anyone left to speak up for you....Won't that be fun!

if you have anything to do with the 99% your apart of some conspiracy. your opinion is a sham. Fuck it just pull your pants down and bend over backwards because your getting it from the rear by the 1% and your getting it in the mouth by the others who believe the movement is a sham. So better your chances of getting truly fucked and just take it from the rear.. while keeping your mouth closed so the finger pointers don't screw you any further.

I see the I_AM_AN_ILLITERATE_RACIST, you should too!

There ya go...guess you must've gotten bored on Yahoo, so decided to come over here....

Go back under your rock dude.

If you tip 15% for BAD service, you should have the remaining 2% of your brain surgically removed since obviously 98% of it is gone, so you can just sit in a corner, and start to get moldy.

NO ONE ought to give a good tip for BAD service.

I have given 0% to 50 % depending on the quality and attentiveness of the service.

You probably get your car repaired, and then ASK them to PLEASE double the bill.

I see the hook nose, so should you.

Wow, why are you guys tipping 50%?? That makes no sense.

I would hit him. It would have been worth being fired for,just to get in a shot and let that prick know how the 99% of us do really feel. Don't worry though, 1%'s, your day is coming and boy is it gonna be good to the rest of us little 99%'s. lol!

Anyone notice yet that this post attracts so few Non-Americans.

Chime in please Europeans and Aussies.

A friend in Australia makes $20 per hour working as a waitress.

The same is true for most of Western Europe

Even if this story is a hoax and is fake, it points out the disparity in the food service industry around the world, and opens a good argument for flat tax in the United States.

On a Separate note:

When I was at University, I used to go out to eat with a friend who lived down the hall.

He would sit down and place 10 singles on the table in plain sight. If his drink ran out, he slurp the empty glass with his straw, and then pick up a single. It usually only took two times before service became impeccable. Sure the waitress got a huge tip sometimes, but the service was great.

bankers are yuppie assholes

this probably happens more then you think.

this douche needs his ass beat.

People that believe this tripe generally need their asses beat as well.

If you believe this story is true, you're in the lowest 1% of the intelligence scale.

I've been meaning to look up the transcript of the Charlie Rose show where Kissinger was on not too long ago.

He was talking about how to forment revolution, and he said the main ingredient is envy, that you must stir up the people with envy, make them feel lots of anger, then you move in for the kill.

This happened right before the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, and after it all went down, many were dead, money was looted (not by the poor mobs but by the instigators), and Christianity outlawed.

They want it to happen here so they can get every last bit of money/gold while they still can.

Magic numbers - hooray!

TIPS = To Insure Proper Service.
If the waiter/waitress does a very poor job, then a 1% tip is fine... otherwise, it's completely unacceptable.

We can expect to see more and more of these stories.

Most people will never understand that they are being manipulated with all of this.

People better learn pretty quick to realize when they are being fed PROPAGANDA FROM THE LEFTY LOONS.
The election approaches.

I see, if a news story doesn't fit into your script you cry foul.

which no doubt has come from years of having your ass beat.

sorry bro

Hey Vern...I never believed in flying saucers until I forgot to leave the waitress a tip!

I asked vern for a tip and yanno whut he said...
"Get out of town fast! Bah-dump dump. [Karma please]

I agree, why does it entail a Banker? Alot of people are douches that dont tip appropriately, it could have been anyone but the word rich banker stands out. Don't hate the game hate the player.

Lol classic yahoo..

it's funny to see how ALL of you miss the point...

it doesn't matter if the story is true or not -

but that it COULD WELL BE TRUE.

the public image of "the american banker" - or,
to generalize even more, "the american billionaire"
is that of an evil, greedy prick.

in 2012, america is perceived, all around the world, as "the country that started the current crisis by adhering to a general 'greed is good' attitude and denouncing ethical or moral thoughts as 'communist' or 'socialist'".


you are all dimly aware of the fact that you live in a country where political decisions are made by whoever bribes the most, where too-big-to-fail corporate entities heavily influence your daily life.

this "disenfranchised waitress" episode fits the bill: y'all have this vague feeling that there's something wrong, there's some itch you'd like to scratch, but you can't quite put your finger on it (*clink* that's one dollar for the bad metaphor piggy bank ;) )

...so you vent your frustration on some tangible target: a minion of the evil system - a "rich banker". boooh!

well, guys - two facts:

1) guilty or not - he's probably an asshole, regardless.
2) true story or fairy tale - america is definitely en route
to "failed state" status.


my name is anonymous coward,
and i approve this message - representing a majority of the ppl here in the old world.

I would have walked by with a greasy meal and dropped it all over his two thousand dollar suit. being cheap isn't always cheap.

Except someone like this rich guy would be sure to question every charge on his bill.

WE are dimly aware? This is not the comment section of yahoo son. This is glp. We question everything here. Everything you said is discussed on a regular basis here. Maybe you need to catch up.

It's still better than the reality shows and dumb sitcoms on today, at least those soaps are the one thing that never changes in decades.

hahah im glad that dumb bitch didnt get more then a 2 dollar tip. bitch should get a real job.

That is what I thought too, If I make only 50k per year and a bill comes to 130, then 65 is a big dent in my wallet, to me it is about ability to pay, so I take the percentage crap and throw it out the window, most waiters are ecstatic if you give them a 20 as a tip for a bill around 80, and that would be 25%, I was in a Shoney's in Georgia once and saw people giving change for tips.
