Particularly since the "employee" had the time to take a picture of the credit card slip supposedly written by his boss. Not something most people do when they are out to lunch with their boss.
"To add insult to injury the word "tip" was circled on the receipt, and the banker wrote "get a real job" on the bill. The picture of the receipt was taken and uploaded to the blog Future Ex-Banker by a person who was dining with the anonymous banker. As expected, the blog received a lot of attention and has now been taken down."
Also, since the person who took the photo ate lunch and got served by the same waitperson they could and should have tipped the waitperson themselves if they felt the waitperson was getting mistreated. But they didn't.
They felt it was better to have the story than to tip the waitperson. So much for their integrity. They pretend to care about the waitperson, but really don't either. Or the paltry tip was justified in their mind too.
I used to work for an absolute clod who tipped poorly when the service was fantastic, and didn't tip at all for anything less than exemplary. Unfortunately, I traveled and ate out with him often. And, since he was the boss, he'd get the check.
Many was the time I picked up the tip. Occasionally he'd catch me and chew on me for it. I said, "screw him", no need to punish the server for my boss' shortcomings.
Same guy used to look forward to my reviews (I'm in a position where I rarely get any feedback, I'll go years with just getting raises and a 'keep up the good work'). Where most managers would look at a review as a formality, or a give and take session....this clown looked at it as an opportunity to discuss my shortcomings - both real and perceived - in exquisite detail. In fact, where most companies do them yearly (if ever) this clown saw fit to review his staff on a quarterly basis.
I've had that happen, and to prevent being burned by an angry boss, I went back and paid the tip later, discreetly.
