One of the surefire ways to sniff out someone's true nature is to observe their interactions
with service professionals.
And it's not just about leaving a big tip, as any server will tell you that getting $50
or $100 isn't worth being treated like dirt.
Here's a list of celebrities who treat waiters like trash.
Jeremy Piven
It turns out that Jeremy Piven pulls some of his arrogant Hollywood agent character,
Ari Gold, from personal experience.
During a comedy festival in Aspen, Piven allegedly behaved so badly that world famous sushi chef
Nobu Matsuhisa banned Piven from all his restaurants.
Piven retaliated by leaving an Entourage DVD as a tip, allegedly saying, "Thanks for nothing."
What happened to hugging it out, bro?
"You wanna hug it out?"
"No, not really."
"Let's hug it out."
Usher
According to the site The Stained Apron, Usher ranks as one of the worst celebrities to have
seated in your section.
Before Usher was 21, he allegedly tried to use his celebrity status to coerce a restaurant
owner into serving him alcohol, and he once left an autograph for a tip.
Between that and introducing Justin Bieber to the world, Usher's working on our last
nerve.
Kendall Jenner
Just like Usher before her, the underage Kendall Jenner allegedly used the fame card to try
and get alcohol illegally.
Worse, according to a server at the trendy SoHo spot Mercer Kitchen, Kendall left without
paying her tab, requiring the server to chase her out into the street.
Kendall responded by throwing a couple twenties in the server's face, then walked away laughing.
Classy move, kid.
Buster Douglas
According to The Stained Apron, former heavyweight boxing champion Buster Douglas routinely acts
more like a chump than a champ.
After taking up several tables at a busy Columbus steakhouse, ensuring the server wouldn't get
tips from anyone else, Douglas left just a $10 tip on a $200 check.
Considering Douglas still has a net worth of around $15 million, more than five percent
gratuity doesn't seem like too much to ask.
LeSean McCoy
When NFL star LeSean McCoy played for the Philadelphia Eagles, he found himself at the
center of one of the biggest "receipt shaming" posts in Internet revenge history.
After dining at Philadelphia burger joint, PYT, McCoy left twenty cents for his server
on a $61.56 check, with the PYT owner stating that McCoy was "verbally abusive to our staff
in the most insulting ways."
The restaurant took a picture of the receipt and posted it to social media, leading to
severe backlash from diehard Eagle fans.
But what do you expect from the kind of people who once booed Santa Claus?
Warren Sapp
Apparently receipt-shaming NFL players is kind of a thing, because hall of famer Warren
Sapp found himself on the wrong end of a viral tweet that showed he'd written "Boys don't
tip!"
on his check at a sports bar in Florida.
Sapp didn't deny the incident, claiming instead that he got terrible service and was offended
when his waitress greeted his table with, "Hey boys, what I can I get you to drink?"
According to TMZ, however, Sapp's server returned to his table 22 times in two hours and he
never once complained or asked to see a manager.
If only all our service were that good!
"How about a little garlic salt?"
"Haha!
That's what I'm talking about!"
Kathleen Battle
Famous for being publicly fired from the Metropolitan Opera for bad behavior, singer Kathleen Battle
has a well-known reputation as a diva, so it's no surprise she also made The Stained
Apron's naughty list of jerk customers.
Among the "many and various demands" Battle insisted on from her waitstaff was a specific
limit to the number of peas in her soup.
Here's a tip, Kathleen: if you don't like peas, don't order pea soup.
Tiger Woods
Being a cheap tipper is pretty low on the list of Tiger Woods' well-known character
flaws, but considering his net worth once exceeded a half a billion dollars, you'd think
he could afford to leave at least a standard gratuity.
Nope!
His former coach Hank Haney revealed that not only would Woods routinely force his dining
companions to leave the restaurant whenever he was ready to go, regardless of whether
they were finished eating or not, he regularly tipped very little or nothing at all, sometimes
leaving Haney to pick up the entire check.
What a swell guy.
