He won't get waited on. Asshole is going to run out of places to eat. I hope any restaurant manager will support wait staff if this bastid tries to complain about poor service.

15% gratuity added to the bill. I hope this was the case and that this guy blows a fuse when he gets his bank statement.

So the rich asshole who makes money being a PARASITE can't be bothered by someone who actually DOES SOMETHING USEFUL for a living. Classic.

Chart- http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/bankers-salaries-vs-everyone-elses/

That chart is from a new report from the New York State Comptroller’s office on the securities industry in New York City.
It shows that the average salary in the industry in 2010 was $361,330 — five and a half times the average salary in the rest of the private sector in the city ($66,120). By contrast, 30 years ago such salaries were only twice as high as in the rest of the private sector.

Depending on the state they're working in, the base wage of a waiter can range from a little over $2.00 US Dollars (USD) to minimum wage per hour. Waiters are able to make more money by getting tips, which must be claimed as income on tax reports. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in 2006 the median hourly earnings of a waiter, including wages and tips, was a little over $7 USD. The standard tip in the US is 15%, when service has been adequate.

My mom was a waitress...that's how she met my dad. So I am excruciatingly polite to my servers and leave a 20% tip as a standard. When they go out of their way to provide excellent service, I will always go higher.
