Annals of Heartlessness (16): Contempt for the Working Class

A member of the “1%” gives a 1% tip and writes on the bill that the waitress should “get a real job” (photo of the bill is here):

A wealthy banker left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch at the True Food Kitchen restaurant in Newport Beach, California.

To add insult to injury the word “tip” was circled on the receipt, and the banker wrote “get a real job” on the bill. The picture of the receipt was taken and uploaded to the blog Future Ex-Banker by a person who was dining with the anonymous banker. As expected, the blog received a lot of attention and has now been taken down. The author of the blog wrote, “mention the 99% in my boss’ presence and feel his wrath. So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his holiness.” (source, source)

More in the annals of heartlessness.

UPDATE: turns out, this is a hoax. Shame on me.
