This is a site dedicated to waitressing.

Click on Gossip for some humorous waitress' stories about serving everyone famous from movie stars to rock stars, athletes, models and more.

The "Click on" in the bottom of the article is a typo. This is the extent of the article about Julia Roberts.

Typical liberal. She wants to help the working class with somebody else's nickel. God forbid she and others like her would part with any of their own but they are right there when it comes to encouraging Congress to take ours and give it to the freeloaders.

This whole story reminds of Al Gore's charitable contributions.

Typical liberal.

Read farther down. Looks like Barbra Striesand and Sean Penn make Julia look absolutely generous.

Next time she's liable to find a hocker in her salad. And actually, with a rep like this, she's probably already ingesting a couple of them every time she eats out -- or worse. Bon appetite, you airheaded leftwing b!tch!

Glen Ellyn? My old hometown. The movie "Lucas" was also filmed in Glen Ellyn.

She probably thinks waiting on her will be the highlight of their life. Something the little people will tell of fondly forever. Something like:

"I got to wait on Julia Roberts once. It was great. She was so beautiful. She didn't look like a horse at all."

"I feel so lucky to have been that near someone who so bravely stood up to those mean and heartless Republicans who don't care about the working people. She even left me a generous 10 percent tip."

Okay, I laid it on a bit thick.

...that the waitress worked her ass off to serve her table. Julia the cheap bitch makes millions, how dare she leave the hard working waitress only $2!!!! What a cheap ass bitch.........."

It has been my life experience as a frequent restaurant diner, as well as a former bartender, waiter, and assistant manager of a restaurant, in my youth, that individuals who use phrases as listed above, generally are not good customer service type individuals and subsequently earn significant less dollar amount tips.

Good site. Thanks for the link.

I've never worked as a waiter or bartender but my brother has done both (and still does). He has some horror stories (very few involving celebrities, unfortunately).

It's not so much "WHAT IT IS" you are eating but "WHAT IT WAS" you are eating...........
Never ever pi$$ off the cook or in this case the waitress. LOL

[mewzilla]

Are you a good tipper?

[OpusatFR]

That's supremely cheap. On the other hand, my niece waited on Ahnold and his crew at a bar in LA and he gave her a whomping big tip to go with the whomping big bill.

Doesn't Republican class show?

Julia was in town to research a film role. She was treated to lunch at the local diner. When the bill came, it was paid for by her fellow dining companions. Julia said that she would give the tip. The bill was $75. Ms. Roberts left a whopping $2 tip, and I know that the waitress worked her ass off to serve her table. Julia the cheap bitch makes millions, how dare she leave the hard working waitress only $2!!!! What a cheap ass bitch..........

Yah, Ms. Julia probably considered the rest of the tip a tax, to be paid to her and spent in a better manner than a mere waitress would've spent it...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Doesn't sound like the angry person was actually the waitress being screwed--er, tipped...

[SevenDaysInMay]

During my initial career, in a 5-Star hotel with 4-Star restaurants and show room, many of the vastly wealthy entertainment types and CEOs were ashtonishingly cheap to thieves, aka forgetting to pay then when challenged, referring us to their accounting people with months of delay and proving up the billing was valid, and lifting.

I have seen marquee names graze food off trays destined for patrons who ordered it and who were paying for both the food and the show, eat gourmet meals with their hands while drunk as their multiples of fawning whores rubbed them down in busy dining rooms, try to steal silver service platters (We caught tall Danny Thomas with our platter tucked under his shirt and in his pants - oh it was a "joke" when caught), among other revoltingly self-absorbed boorish and crass behaviors.

One mega-rich black comedian, whose name I really can't recall at the moment, with a kind, good humored, fatherly stage character selling pudding pops and whose son once drove a Mercedes SL V-12 before his murder roadside in LA was the most arrogant, bossy, and punk ass I have ever seen in public. Even his yes-man was embarrassed when I asked him directly if his better was always like that. This man's self-importance only exceeded his demands for servile attention. Perhaps he was having a bad day, or his guard was down.

Another now hasbeen A-list actress and B-actor husband, whose names have now so long been off the marquee such I can't recall either of their names, demanded that our gourmet restaurant remain open an hour after closing time for them to dine exclusively without little people wanting autographs or just watching them eat.

Our characters are on display whether we want them to be or not. The sudden famous and shockingly rich seem too often to be of the Marie-Antionette school of social hierarchy, unless they act as if onstage, flashing cash to make a point before their public.

I thank God for cerlebrities' so often short careers.

Others once or twice rich with financial hard times before during or after status seemed to be able and willing to appreciate the hard work of waiters assuring them of quality dining and impecable service. The tiny George Burns was the same gentle old man as we see in movies and tv.

Thoughtfulness is not a mystic trait.

I am now going to demand that my dog get me a cup of coffee.

This one's too easy. (Paging Dr. Huxtable, anyone?)

I'm gonna guess Barbra Striesand and James Brolin. Am I right?

[breakem]

She's better than the Clintoons. haven't they walked out of a couple of places without paying?

I think Hitlery learned. One story (see "political figures" in the "Gossip" section) mentions her SS agents giving a $20 tip for some coffee. Another story mentions Bill eating like a pig (who'd a thunk it).
