LOL! Exactly. The guy was insulting and a cheap tipper. Why is it newsworthy? Another question, why was the 99% brought up? Based on the quotes from the blog the HuffPo used, the guy gets bent whenever the Occupy movement is brought up. Did the server do it? If so, why? I still think this thing is some kind of setup.
I was sad that you might not have responded! I thought set-up too because journalism sucks in this land these days and journos need to be journalised! It seems legit though from the other sources saying that the company is saying the receipt was real. Your false equivalency story of a nice guy giving you 20 cents under 15 percent makes this a better story though! whether or not this story is true, the attempt of average folks to downplay the vileness of people like this while playing sycophant to them, is even more interesting than the super interesting angst this banker has for all the little people "beneath" him. I first thought you were totally joking (trolling, you youngsters say now) with your story. One thing to get ripped off on a tip over a hundred dollar tab, but to be insulted in writing, going beyond whatever the service was like??? And you think it's the same as a nice, complementary guy giving you a tip 20 cents under standard? lol...If you are used to getting over 20 percent, then add that percentage to how bad that chick got fucked BEFORE she was told she was shit because of her job of being a servant to this cunt
Again, why is it newsworthy? I guess I think its more vile to hear about how everyone is getting screwed instead of just one person. Yes, I'm sure its not a one time thing, but its still just one asshole.
It's representative. the psychopathy of an individual like this banker is shared by others in his bracket. I'm certainly not sharing it as a "one girl got ripped off" interest piece and most sharing their opinion of it don't seem to be troubled by just that aspect. Giving a face to it
CORRECTION: On Monday evening, True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach released an official statement based on their investigation (described above) into the authenticity of the purported receipt showing a 1% tip. The restaurant's statement reveals that their hard receipt copies do not, in fact, match the photo (shown above) that was initially posted on futureexbanker.wordpress.com (since taken down). The complete statement from True Food Kitchen:We’re glad to respond to the news stories about a tipping incident at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. Our first concern upon learning about this situation was our staff. We are very fortunate to have employees that are talented, bright, and undoubtedly, some of the best in the business. However, we would like to report that there is misinformation circulating about this situation. The dining receipt that was originally posted on the blog, Future Ex Banker, and then republished by various websites, was, in fact, altered and exaggerated. We’d also like to assure people that the receipt was not posted and altered by anyone on behalf of True Food Kitchen. We respect our guests’ privacy and take it very seriously; we would never share personal information. it looks like an evil dirty hippie was trying to make bankers look bad. I wonder if those ignoring it before will find big cause to cover it now
Alright chili, here's another one Morgan Stanley banker charged with hate crime ByLauren Tara LaCapra Fri Mar 2, 2012 2:58pm EST (Reuters) - A senior Morgan Stanley (MS.N) investment banker was placed on leave after police accused him of hurling racial slurs at a taxi driver of Middle Eastern descent and stabbing him in the hand with a pen knife over a fare dispute. William Bryan Jennings, co-head of North American fixed-income capital markets at the Wall Street bank, was arrested near his home in Darien, Connecticut, on Wednesday and charged with second-degree assault, sixth-degree larceny for not paying the fare and intimidation by bias or bigotry, Detective Mark Cappelli told Reuters. Jennings was released after posting $9,500 bail and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Stamford, Connecticut, on March 9. Pen Pendleton, a spokesman for Morgan Stanley, said Jennings has been placed on leave. Eugene Riccio, a lawyer for the 47-year-old banker, denied the charges and said Jennings stabbed the cab driver because he was afraid for his safety. "He categorically denies that he made any racially offensive statements to the cab driver," said Riccio. Jennings, who started his career at Morgan Stanley in 1993 as an associate in the investmentbanking division, held the title of managing director at the time of the taxi cab encounter. He was one of the most senior executives in the bank's bond-trading business, which Morgan Stanley has been trying hard to bolster over the past few years. The incident happened in December, when Jennings took a late-night cab ride of about 45 miles from Manhattan to his $2.3 million home at 39 Knollwood Lane. Upon reaching the destination, the driver and Jennings, whom the driver said was intoxicated, argued about the fare. The police said the two had agreed on a fare of $204 at the outset, but when the driver requested payment, Jennings refused. His lawyer, however, says the driver asked for nearly $300, which Jennings considered excessive. There are differing versions of what happened next as well. According to the police, the driver began driving around the city with Jennings still in the car, looking for a police officer to resolve the dispute. However, Riccio said the driver was not looking for police, but "speeding down the road, door open, disregarding traffic signals" and threatening to bring Jennings back to Manhattan unless he paid the fare. The driver, who lives in Queens, New York, told police that Jennings began threatening him and using racial slurs. The banker then took out a pen knife and began stabbing at the driver through an open partition, police said. When the driver tried to close the partition, Jennings stabbed his hand. The driver then stopped the vehicle and Jennings ran home, Riccio said, about 1.5 miles from the scene. The driver called police to report the incident around midnight on December 22. The driver received immediate medical attention in Darien and later went to a hospital where the lacerations required six stitches, Cappelli said. Police had been looking for Jennings since the incident, but because he did not contact them and there was limited information about his identity, detectives were unable to immediately find him, Cappelli said. "At no point did Mr. Jennings attempt to contact the Darien Police Department during the incident," police said in a statement. "Mr. Jennings did contact the Darien Police approximately two weeks later." The banker turned himself in at the Darien police station this week, after authorities had issued a warrant for Jennings' arrest, Cappelli said. Jennings did not immediately report the incident because he was "afraid for the safety of his family" and did not want his personal information in the press, Riccio said.
And? I'm sure a frustrated Aussy tourist could have done the same thing as could some pissed off crackhead
