Tweeting About HBO Star's Dine And Dash Gets Waiter Fired

by Caleb Johnson on October 1, 2009 at 06:35 PM

When will people learn that Twitter isn't the place to complain about their job? Jon-Barrett Ingels became another footnote in Twitter history after he was fired for writing a nasty tweet about HBO star Jane Adams. The former waiter at Barney Greengrass in Beverly Hills was outraged after Adams, who appears in 'Hung,' skipped out on $13.44 bill earlier this summer. Believe it or not, she actually pulled the old "I left my checkbook in my car" routine and ditched. According to thisisbrandx, one of her "people" called the next day and paid the bill -- but made the cardinal sin of not leaving a tip.

But the story doesn't end there. About a month later, Adams stormed into the restaurant, walked up to Ingels and handed him $3. After this Emmy-worthy scene, a manager discovered Ingels regularly tweeted about stars that visited the restaurant and fired the man because of "various compaints" from customers. What was Ingels thinking? He should've published his rants on Youtube, instead. [From: thisisbrandx]
