Bar Tab Pickup

[Blind Gossip] This movie star showed up at a bar with some of his posse a few days ago. They drank for a couple of hours, racking up a big bill. The movie star covered the bill for everyone, then left a tip for the server in cash.

Generous, right? Not so much.

He left a tip of 1% in cash. One lousy percent. He made a comment about the server. “You don’t reward ugly.” Guess she wasn’t up to his standards.

    Jeremy Piven?
    Has a history of being a bad tipper.
    Entourage… “Posse”?

    I always leave 20% unless the server is rude or horrendous, then usually 15%.
    If I can’t afford to leave a tip, then I don’t go out to dinner.

    They generally work very hard and rely on tips as their income.

    I was absolutely on the Leonardo di Caprio bandwagon until news broke of Miles Teller being arrested in San Diego for being drunk in public and belligerent/non-cooperative with the police. Miles has a rep as being a jerk, so I’m going with him.

  6. cathariiiine says

    Miles Teller, He came to my work once before and was way tooo “Hollywood” for his own good.

  8. gingersnaps says

    I’d never think of Keanu for something like this. He’s been extremely generous over the past few years so I can’t imagine him being cheap all of a sudden.

  10. KatarinaJ says

    Being a womanizer sort of nods toward someone who doesn’t value women or who has something to prove vs being a nice person alone.

  11. danneka says

    because of the keyword, “posse” i’m guessing leo too but that is WAY lame. He really has a warped sense of values if that is true. Ugly is as ugly does…… guess he’s never heard of that.

    I tip based on their attitude and service and I have left little to no tips but that is because they were rude and didn’t give good service. Usually I leave around 20 percent.

  12. Flanky says

    I will tip well enough for good service. And while i understand sometimes things beyond the server’s control can happen, if i need a drink refill and the place isn’t busy but the servers are busy chatting with each other, it will definitely hurt their tip.

  13. draconius25 says

    Keanu Reeves is one of the most generous actors out there! Definitely not him.

  14. LC1216 says

    How do I break it to Leo…he’s ugly. He’s disgusting, gross and hasn’t been good looking since the Titanic when he was in his early 20’s. He’s also very out of shape. Never actually found him attractive. Even in his 20’s. Also…don’t think he’s that great of an actor.

  15. Keeping Honest says

    iD never believe this. He’s known to be the most generous of actors. He gave most his money away when he did matrix. Even gave motorcycles to matrix special effects after making matrix.

  18. palmtreeenthusiast says

    Ok probably not, but maybe the server had a bad attitude and he meant that her actions were ugly. A hot babe who doesn’t care about others sounds a lot more likely to be a server in a place where moviestars drink than a homely girl.

  20. Melina says

    I heard Leo is actually a nice guy. Yes, superficial but that doesn’t necessarely make him a bad or nasty guy. That being said, I don’t personally know him, but I don’t know why people always assume that a guy is a bad person just because he’s a womanizer.

  23. Catharsis says

    You’re ignoring the reason he tipped poorly. It has nothing to do with poor service or the fact that he’s famous.

  24. Catharsis says

    Leo D or Tobey M. I wish someone would have overheard him and replied “but someone rewarded you.” If these two men didn’t have celebrity and money, no one would look at them twice. They certainly aren’t anything to admire, physically or intellectually.

    No. The tips I give are based on service alone.

  25. BleuDog says

    Yes, I tip the optimal for good service. I fear this is about Leo and if true, I am so sorry, he should be much less critical since he is not in such optimal shape himself.

  27. jbj2016 says

    I naturally outgrew my Leo crush decades ago, but in these last few years I’ve become revolted by him. NY Mag reposted an old article from the height of the P-Party era and it enlightened me on his gross misogyny. Since I was abroad, I decided to check out the infamous Don’s Plum movie. Back in the day his PR people always insisted the lawsuit was about protecting TM, but there was no way Leo’s heartthrob status would have survived his disgusting improvisational choices. He was a total pig!

  28. Tinkerbell says

    According to the blind his tip was predicated on his opinion of her looks, not bad service, so we aren’t applying different standards. A non-famous person who said and did the same thing would be just as much of a pig. Just sayin’.

  30. Annaliese says

    I think this is Leo. He is pudgy, so not really understanding the ugly comment. I wonder if he might be able to lose weight if only pretty people went to his movies- no moolah, then no food. Maybe this is a tactic he should employ, I don’t suppose his lack of character can be corrected at this point.

  31. GreenT13 says

    I always tip at least a dollar a drink which usually ends up usually being about 15 percent. What a freaking cheap skate whoever it is.

  32. meme123 says

    Dopey Tobey Maguire. Unattractive dork who talks to women like he is alpha. His posse lets him come along to collect their leftovers. Douche.

  33. CherryBomb27 says

    Leo when he was drinking with Tobey Maguire and Orlando Bloom!

    No, I tip everyone the same. Service with a smile is service with a smile!

  34. algarve2016 says

    Too bad I don’t know who this is. I would refrain from watching his movies. I don’t reward “ugly” either, as in ugly behavior. That was pretty nasty of him and who is he to judge? When Mel Gibson was stopped by police and make all those obscene and prejudiced statements, that did it for my enjoyment of his acting. Never watched another movie of his. Same thing for Woody Allen and Michael Jackson. I find out someone is ugly on the inside, and it’s OVER.

  35. Flanky says

    Wow, 1%?
    Unless the service was terrible/non-existent, you don’t do that. What a dick move!

  39. jophieljo says

    This is so Leo. Someone should tell him to look in a mirror. We’ve been rewarding ugly for many years.

  40. Catseyezzz says

    Hmmmmmmm…trying to think of the biggest arsehole in Hollywood. Too many to name!

  44. Aurelia says

    Actor: Leo DiC.
    Optional: I’m in the restaurant industry. I tip everyone very well, don’t care how they look.

  45. javelina says

    This has to be Leonardo DiCaprio. Clues: Posse aka The * Posse

    I tip people based on what kind of service they provided. I don’t care what they look like.

  46. Samra1116 says

    That’s what’s wrong with this world now, everyone is judged on beauty..
    Their server should be rewarded on how she treated them, refill their drinks and being polite.. 9/0 his butt is nothing to write home and tell mommy about
    What a douche bag and his friends are no better. I digress

  49. jajarose says

    Leonardo Dicaprio
    If this is him it explains why he has lost his looks as his outside is only reflecting who is inside.

    I tip everyone equally regardless of looks at restaurants. If this one hot delivery guy comes to my house and make others answer so I don’t make a fool of myself so half the time he doesn’t get a tip.

  53. Kingofboggle says

    Robert Downey Jr.

    He starred in “The Pick-Up Artist” with Molly Ringwald in the 80s

    Is he sober now?
    Either way, dick move.
    Definitely don’t tip better if their I good looking. But if I can get them to break out of “server mode” and not be robotic I’ll tip more. And of course, efficiency and anticipating needs always make a tip bigger. I delivered pizzas for years, so I tip big in general. People who have lived on tips always tip well.

  55. JHntr113 says

    That butterball, Leo DiCaprio with the P***y Posse.

    Optional: no. When it’s tip time, I choose 15%, 20%, or 25% according to my experience. Those numbers are easy to calculate in your head, as well.

  57. FoxyLoxy says

    I’m guessing Leo Di-crap-io, sounds like something shallow he would do
    No, I dgaf what they look like as long as they aren’t sweating on my food or something

  58. melrose71 says

    Leonardo

    I tip 15-20% and maybe even a little more if they’re really good no matter what they look like. He really needs to grow up whether this is Leo or someone else. Bad manners are unattractive all around.

  59. Lea214 says

    I don’t know who this is but he sounds pretty ugly himself. On the inside, where it counts. What a pig!

  61. radmom says

    Leo and his pu**y posse. Sounds like something they would do. I saw a picture of Leo, Toby and Orlando prowling around.

  62. libra123 says

    Leo DiBag. I don’t tip based on looks but on service. He needs to take a look in the mirror, he’s not hot stuff.

  65. parkland45 says

    I can’t wait to find out who this rotten excuse for a human being is.

    I tip based on service.

  68. amagod121 says

    Leo DiCaprio

    Optional: WTH? No! Certainly not! Good is good and bad is annoying. I almost never tip below 20%, 15% at the lowest. Whoever this was: what a crummy thing to a person trying to make a living by helping you. Turd! }:-P

  77. GayleStorm says

    Movie Star: This must be Leo DiCaprio. Wow….I really dislike that guy. What a pig! I don’t know where he gets off on criticizing women’s looks and bodies. He looks like a pudgy toad. My husband is ten years older and is in much better shape.

    Do you tip better-looking people more? No. I always overtip…good looking, average looking, bad service, good service. Whatever! I catered for 20+ years and the tips made it all worthwhile. I believe in tipping karma.

  78. robynsing says

    DiCaprio. Depraved psychopath. Wonder what he actually does with his hired girlfriends

  80. Goodgrief says

    Leo DeCrapio, but really, whoever this is, is a true douchebag. I reward good service and nothing more.

  82. spaceship says

    If you don’t reward ugly, then this guy should have nothing, because he’s ugly on the inside.

  84. GeorgiaR says

    Terrible. I have no idea how this is, but that is no way to treat people. If the person performed her job well, she deserved at least 10%. But what tends to go around comes around. Regarding tipping well, I tip people who perform well and are friendly. Looks have no basis in the equation. Even if someone still performs their job well and are quiet and professional, I still tip well.

  86. avalonlee says

    I have no idea, but yuck!!! Hollywood is filled with entitled jerks. I feel like “racking up” is a clue, but I’m too lazy to do any research.

  89. Ellis Bell says

    Leo? “Posse” makes me think of him. I don’t care for what he said, it’s so insensitive and demeaning and a frightening glimpse into his mindset on women.

    Optional: I tip 20% and It has never entered my mind to tip someone more because of their looks. I tip because certain employees rely on tips for their financial survival.

  93. mommalovesapuzzle says

    Probably Leo. But maybe the server sucked. Why should he tip big for bad service just because he is a movie star? I’ve given lousy tips when the server is bad — why are we applying different standards to famous people? Just saying. ‘
