Here’s A Tip — Don’t Ask For One
Don’t blame Andre 3000 for being a tight wad with his wallet, blame this damn recession!
Atlanta waiter Matt Moore claims that he went out of his way to hook Andre up with some vegan dishes after the rapper visited the restaurant he works in — even though it is non-vegan. Apparently, that effort wasn’t enough and Andre decided to complain anyways — getting his bill reduced in the process. At the end of the meal, the low-baller left a $0 tip and walked away. Classy.
What’s a guy to do? eBay! Moore was understandably pissed and threw his story up on the auction site, along with a description of the injustice and the offending receipt. “The chef had tried to please them with original dishes and took time out of the busy dinner to customize a meal for them,” he wrote. “Despite the spot-on service and super-catered food, they felt the need to leave me no money. I had nothing to do with the food, yet he stiffed me.” [source via SR]
I was going to play my role as a stan and defend Three Stacks to the bitter end but this is way past dirty. I’ve been in the food service industry before so I know what if feels like to be short changed when its tip time. I will keep my horror stories of revenge to myself but trust and believe that some servers are not as kind as others. You’ll be surprised at how many actually remember you from your previous visit.
