Who the heck is she to get all in a huff because SHE got called out for NOT tipping the waiter?!

Hello, Ms. McFly? How many waiters/waitresses do you know that do the job for fun, without tips?? Takes a lot of nerve to eat, skip, pay the NEXT day and not even leave the kid a tip. I mean, he had to already deal with the fact YOU left. Do you know how fun that is to explain to your manager?? Hm? Then not to even leave a buck? Geeeez.

After all, the kid did his job.

He served her the $13.95 lunch and she ate it happily.

Hopefully, Ms. Adams will learn some manners in her next acting role. Or at least how to bring your wallet when you go out to eat.

And maybe Brandx will learn how NOT to use names in his Tweets. ]]>Oct 1st 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 9:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Get a life, AOL...]]>Oct 2nd 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 3:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 4:25PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 4:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 4:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/as an ex waitress...i would have done the same thing.]]>Oct 2nd 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/She ate almost $14 worth of food, left without paying, had someone come in later to pay (not because she owed, but because the waiter Twitted about it) then came back with a crappy tip (because the waiter again Twitted)!
And SHE has the right to "storm"? Plus,she got the guy fired!
She was wrong, but the guy got fired?
I just don't get it!!
Someone explain it to me like I'm a 4 yr. old, cuz I just don't get it!! ]]>Oct 2nd 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/>>>]]>Oct 2nd 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/
Who knows what happened when Ms Adams got to her car. She could have had every intention of paying. Perhaps she discovered her wallet was not in her car, called her agents office and was told they would take care of it but the assistant didn't bother until the next day. Perhaps she told him to be sure to include a big tip and he screwed it up. As it was, a 15% tip on her check is only $2.00 so don't say she undertipped him. Especially after his behavior. ]]>Oct 10th 2009 3:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/Oct 2nd 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/I have eaten in very expensive restaurant, 4 for $450 and tipped $100 because the service was truly exceptional. But I've eaten in restaurants of equal stature and paid 10% because the wait staff was deplorable even if the food was excellent. I've eaten in the places that were just plain, only there to grab a bite to eat but the wait staff was exceptional and a tip equal to the bill was paid. Likewise the opposite has also happened. They all expected a tip, it was the proper thing to do, but it was not always deserved. By the way,I have also left a tip that was a note to management stating I left no tip because your wait staff was sullen, inattentive, argumentative, food was over/undercooked, and it was an unejpyable evening. Before you get in a huff, I also let management know when the service has been exceptional.
Confidentiality is not served well by twitter abd the wait staff should know that a breach of confidentiality is the exit door.]]>Oct 2nd 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/01/tweeting-about-hbo-stars-dine-and-dash-gets-waiter-fired/
