Rich Jerk Tips 1% and Advises Server to ‘Get a Real Job’ via - Eater

I think I would literally snap if this happened to me at work. I think I would black out and wake up in the back of a police car covered in blood.

Serving IS a real job. It’s not a great career for most people, but it’s a job. I pay my bills every month from waiting tables. I’m supporting myself solely from what I make as a waitress while figuring out what I want to do with my life and working for free as C.O.O of a start-up. I know tons of people who support families on the income they make from serving.

I sincerely hope this is a hoax, because this is just appalling. Servers in every state besides Oregon and Washington are paid sub-wages - LESS than minimum wage. Basically nothing after taxes. Tip your servers and tip them well, because that’s all they get paid. You’re welcome to eat at home if you don’t like it.

Can I just point out that receipt is stamped Newport Beach, CA, aka Orange County, aka one of the frontrunners for wafflefucking rich Republican asshole capital of America?

I was only there ONCE, for like three days on a business trip, and this does not shock or surprise me in the least. Their goddamn airport is named after Ronald fucking Reagan.

LOL the airport’s named after John Wayne (Reagan’s airport is in DC), but everything else about Orange County—especially South Orange County, the beach cities—is true. I’ve lived in Orange County my whole life, and this is appalling, but it does not surprise me ONE bit.
