The gratuity on that is ridiculous. It would hurt paying some waiter 7 grand just to bring my food out, even if I was a billionaire.
Lots of interesting stuff at that billionaire dinner receipt link: http://www.momlogic.com/2009/11/my_bits_fell_out_vaginal_prolapse.php
Wonder who invented the tippin' % I mean is it worth that much more to bring out a nice steak than a piece of chicken.
Seriously that is some bullsh!t. How the hell are you going to pay $7K+ and in reality the waiter never brought that much food, just alcohol. Freakin ridiculous.
I haven't made that much in my life. That is probably what I will make my first year out of college...before taxes...if I'm lucky. I really don't think anyone should have that much to throw away on a meal. Huey Long was right over 80 years ago. Everything you make after the first million should go to taxes. Less money printed, less debt, more tax benefits for guys like me who want to stay single without kids. I hate wealth.
Easy to say when you don't got it. If I had that money (or half his wealth, which is my plan ever since a fortune cookie told me) I might not go out and spend $47k every day. But certainly I wouldn't think twice, let alone once, about the price of ANYTHING. Guy's just having a good time. I would even argue $47k on a great meal with friends is more rewarding than, say, Sebastian Telfair throwing away $50k on ice so he can look thug, and then have it stolen.
Except less than 1% of America really "got it." I don't see myself getting that lucky. I honestly don't care. It pisses me off that I will be forced to pay 30% of my taxes while these elite get away with over 98% of their money. Keep the rich rich and there will always be poor.
Deadspin had something on this last week, and I believe it was said he left an extra $5k tip on top of the grat...
So the waiter brings you the bill......and you guys are pissed over the 12 dollar water..... Ok sir, we are sorry about the water, we will take it off of your bill. Ok, now your total will be $47,209.
That's crazy. The waitress gets more money for opening a wine bottle than a stripper at the men's club does for putting her t*tties in your face and giving you a good time. LOL It's for strippers to quit and start waiting tables in fancy restaurants.
