GOOD AND BAD CELEBRITY TIPPERS
Filed in archive MOVIE MATTERS by jim on December 29, 2005
The gossip rags report on how well, or poorly, celebrities treat common folk such as food servers. But can they be trusted to tell the truth?
Unless you personally know someone who has served a celebrity you can't really be certain as to how accurate the reports are.
So how about hearing it straight from the horse' s mouth?
My wife has a friend who did occasional work in TV commercials, and product modeling, and for a while had a night job in an upscale Las Vegas steak house. She was a sort of wine steward I believe, and a few years back a call came in that Mariah Carey would be arriving, within a half hour, with a large party.
Several hours later, long after closing time, the Carey crowd arrived and partied hardy for several hours.
The manager kept the entire crew on duty, and they were hopping into the wee hours of the morning, seeing to every whim Carey and her Entourage
could dream up.When they finally left, and cleanup ensued, it became apparent that the total tip amounted to zero, nada, zilch, not even so much as a thanks.
My wife's friend has since given up "show business," and started a small, but lucrative business of her own, and no longer has to depend on tips.
But, someone has to wait on tables and those who do tend to the celebrity crowd have lots of stories to tell.
Bill Murray is reportedly a superb tipper who tips the amount of the check!
However, Bill seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and now there's a website where food servers spill the beans on these characters.
Check out, "bitterwaitress.com," and see who' s generous and who's a skinflint.
