Tipper’s Name: Michael Moore
Where it happened: New York
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $248.73 / $1.27 / 0%
What happened:
This fat bastard first bitched about not being able to get a table by the window then ordered enough food for himself to feed me for a week. After busting my ass trying to bring him the next plate before he finished the first he only leaves a dollar and some change for a tip… Dude wheres my tip?
Also: Sean Penn, Rosie O’Donnell and over at the Boston Clam Shack, make that one more vote for Bush.
That reminds me of the story a couple years ago when the Washington Post interviewed the tailor who has served the White House since LBJ.
He said only two presidents showed genuine interest in regular guys like himself: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
He said that Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush tried to seem interested but just weren’t, while Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton actually showed contempt for a mere tailor.
Funny how that works, isn’t it?
Opinions aside, could you at least try to follow the rudiments of proper punctuation and spelling? Slagging people off for supposedly being ill-educated, trying to get waitress ‘revenge’ taken seriously: that sort of thing begs at least a cursory edit/spell-check.
Though I admit it does add nicely to the overall pro-US stance of the site. Have you ever lived in the States? At least be grateful for having had the shot at a good education; don’t make a mockery of it via poorly constructed text. If you can’t even spell somebody’s political affiliation, leave commentary on same to actual writers. Yikes.
As a bit of an aside, I’m not entirely clear on what’s typed below re. Parrish, teaching career, and WWII, but — if I’m following correctly — for better or for worse, criticism of the US for coming into WWII too late does exist (and can do so reasonably comfortably next to gratitude that they did eventually show up and do an admirable job).
And another: a comparative analysis never hurts. See especially: CBC/’terrorist,’ Fox News/’sniper’ (along with a host of other semantic silliness).
Finally, said comparative analysis, along with more diverse background sources, would undoubtedly help — and presumably boost — your readership; the person who directed me to the ‘Revenge of the Waitress’ offered up his loathing for Michael Moore. No more than that, though; he hadn’t read anything of his, seen his movies, etc. A pity, given the similarities between the rip-off from the ‘Western Standard’ and Moore’s similar maze with the Bush family and oil interests.
Best of luck with the hate, though.
Random Bytowner, you obviously didn’t bother to view the link. If you had, you’d have seen that the writing is NOT Kate’s. It was lifted from the link for the benefit of lazy, arrogant, uncivil leftist individuals such as yourself.
By the way, don’t you think that in addition to being a dangerous windbag, Michael Moore is also a cheap, fat bastard who thinks he should be given all that he demands all the time without exception?
I will return later in the day to see whether you got the message that you’ve made a faux pas and need to acknowledge it and apologize to Kate for being such an ass towards her. After all, you don’t know much about Kate. You can see that she’s obviously very intelligent once you have observed what she actually writes.
“Best of luck with the hate, though.”
The above makes your extreme, pigheaded left-wing bias quite obvious to everyone.
There’s no hate around here save for that coming from you, moonbat.
I don’t think much, anyway, of anyone who would be so assinine as to defend Michael Moore, of all people. Who’re you going to defend next, Osama Bin Laden? Saddam?
Shoo, moonbat, shoo!
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll. I don’t often leave comments, but love reading here. I will leave a comment from time to time. I appreciate it, thanks, Jay
Apparently, Random Bytowner surfs in for free, observes that there is no tip jar or advertising and then concludes that I owe him something.
Must be a left winger.
“There’s no hate around here save for that coming from you, moonbat.”
Feel the love.
How full of yourself do you have to be to leave behind crap from a crappy TV show. Be still me foolish heart. Micheal Moore has always been a fat bastard, perhaps he can’t tip because the right wing boycotts all his movies! Gotta love all those rich socialist who want to make the world a better place but can’t make the night better for their server. Socialist have always been better at spending everyone’s money than their own.
On the Mooretrary
I’m a millionaire, I’m a multi-millionaire. I’m filthy rich. You know why I’m a multi-millionaire? ‘Cause multi-millions like what I do. – Michael Moore
Then the guy leaves a $1.27 tip!
…
So now its Bush’s fault that Moore didn’t leave a tip. *LOL* How far will these left-wing nutbars go?
Speaking of Michael Moore, he’s listed a few times in that shitty tipper database.
TIP: You have to spell people’s Names with capitalization when you search. Michael Moore will work, michael moore won’t.
INTERBLOGATORY TRAVELS
OH! MY! GOD! John Hawkins has posted the absolute BEST ad yet for the 08 election , which begins with “After the first 8 years of sleaze and scandal … ” with “Kiss it” and other assorted memorable Clinton-esque…
Come on, give the guy a break (Michael Moore that is). A 10% tip would be about $25 which would buy him a few more slices of pie to stuff into his mouth. You wouldn’t want him to starve would you?
Try looking up John Kerry on the Shitty Tipper Database! Pretty revealing liberal elitism. The 3 entries for George Bush are obvious fakes.
Sheesh guys, 1.) tipping starts at 15%, 20% for good and attentive service. 2.) The waiter/ess is not responsible for seating, that’s the responsibility of the matri’de. 3.) Waiters and waitresses in the States get taxed by the IRS, whether they declare tips as income or not, based on the assumption that they do not. 4.) It is unnecessary to see a M-M film to receive the brunt of his demonstrated lack of couth and reckless social imbecility – neither of which is forgivable or offset by any sort of attempt at film-appreciation.
Mr. M isn’t just a cheap, fat bastard, he’s a multi-millionaire with a million-dollar apartment in Manhattan and million-dollar beachfront house in Michigan, cheap, fat bastard.
I never tipped much at all when I was in my early 20’s until I began dating a girl that insisted on tipping when we went out. To my embarrassment, if I didn’t give enough of a tip she would “top it up”. She got me to see what a privilege it is to be served by a fellow human being and that the tip is the show of appreciation.
I believe I learned the lesson well…I always tip: less for bad but considerably more for good service. Tipping is like your handshake…it’s an expression of your humanity.
The $1.27 tip from Micheal Moore is an expression of his. Maybe if I hadn’t of met the woman who showed me a different way I would have been behaved similarly. I wonder if “Random Bytowner” knows how to tip?
I worked my way through college (and later grad school) as a waitress in various types of establishments. “Back in the day” being tipped was especially important since we were making truly minimum wage (as I recall $1 per hour). Keith in Mtn.View is correct – the choice of seating is the maitre d’s responsibility. No doubt that worthy gentleman wanted something other than a mountain of lard sitting in the front window. As to the size of the tip, I ALWAYS tip 20% and most former wait persons I know do so as well. On that basis, the waitress should have gotten something in the neighborhood of $54!
I think it’s bad enough that anyone actually has to serve FOOD to Mr. Moore, and such an insulting tip is totally over the line. I know that this has been covered before but why are bathing, grooming and civilized behavior so frightening to the Left? Do they honestly believe it makes them “one of the guys”? Hate to break it to them, but truly civilized people BATHE, brush their teeth, comb their hair and make at least an attempt to not make small children run screaming from their vicinity!
Gayle, I approve. Beautifully put. 73s TG
A dish served cold
After multiplying exponentially and splitting everything, these jerkfaces decided that a $3.00 tip was perfectly acceptable. When they asked if there was enough for a tip I replied with “Well, you left me 3 on 500, so I actually paid…
That waitress should forget the tipping problem and just be thankful she didn’t lose a hand or an arm in that socialist slob’s cavernous maw.
Sorry I misspelled maitre d, I only took one year of French and that was during my last year of High School, and I only tok French because I had already done all the German classes available. 😉
Dont play with me boy
how do you know my name?
Odd that it should come up…
Yesterday my wife and I were travelling and stopped at a TGI Friday’s. I don’t normally eat at chintzy theme restaurants, but I had no cash on me and had to use plastic, so I figured it would be a good bet. I had never eaten at a TGIF before, but I wasn’t shocked to find that it was just a Ruby Tuesday ripoff, and expected the food to be no different.
Well, the waitress was perky but slow. This was around 2:00 PM, well after lunch, and there were only four other people in our section, so the waitress had little to do. I ordered a burger and had to refuse about a dozen other things she tried to force on me, and when it came I asked for mayo and mustard. I finally got tired of waiting for her so I started eating the burger, and she finally remembered the condiments after I was almost done with this sorry, greasy $7.00 burger. Then my tea ran out, and after a while she came back by to take the orders of some new customers so I asked for the check. Well, it came quickly enough, but then I couldn’t get her to take my money because she was busy chatting with the new clients. Not about the food, but about local real estate prospects. By this time I was feeling sick from the burger, which I couldn’t finish, and was sick of listening to her perky voice at the next table. When she finally took my card I signed the check and left without responding to anything she said, and I left her nothing. She was a crappy server and got as good a tip as she deserved. I hate to stiff a server, but sometimes, they deserve it.
Is Random really Jack Layton?
Great discussion. The phrase “Walk a mile in my shoes” comes to mind when I hear tipping stories. At one time I never really thought about it until my daughter got her first job waitressing. While I waited to pick her up after shift I started to pay attention to other tables and how people treated the serving staff. And I thought salvery had been abolished! It certainly opened my eyes. And on top of all the hassle, my daughter was expected to split the tip with the cooks and hostesses! Moore’s $1.27 wouldn’t go too far.
Now I tip according to service, rude, lazy people get a lot less while great enjoyable service get appropriatly more.
One wonders if MM would ever return to the restaraunt….I am sure there would be a “spitburger” that made it his way…or true Pee Soup….If you only knew how waiters, cooks etc dealt out their revenge to bad customers.
Treat the staff with respect or you play with fire
The figures are interesting. Do the math:
Bill $248.73
+Tip $1.27
_______
Total $250.00
The tidy little nature of this calculation suggests a pretty small-minded and niggardly personality.
JJM: Michael Moore’s work supports your assessment. Only the left take him seriously – and Oprah.
“I will return later in the day to see whether you got the message that you’ve made a faux pas…”
What, about a number of spelling (&c) errors? The basking in bile? Which?
Apparently, Random Bytowner surfs in for free, observes that there is no tip jar or advertising and then concludes that I owe him something.
Must be a left winger.
Possibly. Or somebody depressed at the abysmal standard of public political discourse nowadays. Or even not a ‘him.’ (Possibly.)
Of course I’m not ‘owed’ anything, but if there’s an option to leave a comment on a public site — well, what else is it there for?
“…it’s worthwhile to provide a Parrish bashing comments thread…”
Should I have been more blunt? This is unsophisticated trash that reduces what might be valid, important viewpoints to a teevee talk show level. I don’t understand so many people being hell-bent on reducing the right to ‘bashing’ in lieu of convincing, careful, scholarly analysis. Moore’s a tubbo! Parrish’s a loudmouth! Boooo! Let’s make a laughingstock of Canadian conservatives!!
Yikes.

The A list
I sure hope you did not make this “A” list.* *Asshole, quite a few Hollywood libs on this one. HT: Small Dead Animals…
Dear Iron Lady,
You said, “Is Random really Jack Layton?”
I doubt that Jack would post something in the manner of the postings by Randon Bytowner. To begin to hector people for their grammatical and spelling deficiencies would be akin to committing political suicide. Furthermore, I doubt that Jack has the intellectual capacity to write as Bytowner does.
cheers
You are absolutely right, Bytowner. Each utterance of the LPC’s delightful little love-child Carolyn Parrish is worthy of “convincing, careful, scholarly analysis”, just as a home-invasion requires chin-scratching, thoughtful expressions, and congratulatory winks all around.
But how come you join in, only to bash the site? Taking an actual stand can be lots of fun, you know. How about telling us your personal opinion of Canada’s Liberal blossom, Carolyn Parrish — or do you not like to speak ill of family members in public?
Why do the regulars here imagine that the story is a true one? It’s just something posted on the web, for crying out loud. I’d hate to be brought before a jury made up of you lot. Evidence means nothing–just believe the worst of a political opponent, because no one who disagrees with you could possibly be anything but a hypocrite. Right?
No need to answer that. You already have.
Random Bytowner: If you can’t even spell somebody’s political affiliation, leave commentary on same to actual writers. Yikes
Yikes indeed! We certainly wouldn’t want the mere unwashed masses expressing their opinions on public matters. Oh heavens no! That’s for professional writers to do.
NOTE – Professional writer, someone who is too self important, lazy and arrogant to actually cultivate a useful skill. One who looks down on others who have actually studied something or mastered a trade without having any hard won talents themselves.
As for Dr. Dawg, (I love this) “Why do the regulars here imagine that the story is a true one? Evidence means nothing–just believe the worst of a political opponent,”
Wow, you mean just like, ummm, oh say, Micheal Moore?
OK, John–what’s your point, exactly? Think it through, now.
Careful, John, you misspelled ‘Michael”.
Cheers

Here’s one less for Bush…
Tipper’s Name: George W. Bush
Where it happened: DC
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $753.58 / $1.28 / 0%
What happened:
He must have done the math himself!
Oh, and another one…
Tipper’s Name: George W. Bush
Where it happened: Washington, DC
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $300.00 / $10.00 / 3%
What happened:
cheapskate!
OH MY GAWD! You’re right JMH. I did misspell something. That must mean I’m not a “writer” by bytowner’s definition. Well, I know that if I were not excluded from the snotty, elitist “writers” club for spelling mistakes I would certainly have been excluded from it for taking years to learn an actual useful trade.
As for Dr. D. (sigh) I suppose I will have to explain because he’s too dim to figutre it out.
Dr. D, you attack us for slagging Moore yet you say nothing about Moore who uses the same tactics that you find so reprehensible. Moore is nothing more than a cheap shot artist.
I should add this to my message for Dr D. if you are TRULY upset with the MANNER in which this forum is attacking Moore then I must ask you (no sarcasm intended). Do you approve of Moore’s manner in which he attacks Bush?
Random Bytowner, you try to claim that the average conservative is an imbecile requiring unfair derision and persecution by unapologetic, factless murderer-loving misanthropic metrosexual leftofascist moonbats such as yourself.
Look who’s talking. Bite me, moonie fool.
By the way, Random, you sound familiar. Are you an NDPer with whom I have had amusing partisan back-and-forths before?
So many of you guys remind me of other lefties. Perhaps you’re all the same, at any rate. Dime a dozen and all that…
Stephen, of course this guy is a lefty. He’s a … (hushed tones) W R I T E R (ooohhh aaahhh).
The 2 go together like mac & cheese.
As a writer he gets paid for excreting whatever mental pus that can ooze out onto the keyboard. The only requirement is that he convince his none too bright employer that his brain farts are actually nuggets of intellectual wisdom. I accused WRITERS of being elitist snobs who look down their nose at anyone who is not part of their club and I stand by that. A doctor, technologist/tradesperson, computer expert, engineer, busineesperson take years to learn actual skills. Wheras a W R I T E R like “bytown” simply pops off whatever is in thier head at the time and calls it valuable.
You look at your average news story about something technical like, oh say, missile defence or cloning, the wise & mighty
W R I T E R will always discuss the moral aspects of it (harrumph snort) or write in an emotional manner bereft of fact (WHAT ABOUT THE CHILLLLDRENNNN). That’s because they are too stupid and lazy to write about the technical & scientific aspects of the story. Dumbasses.
BTW Stephen “metrosexual lefto-facist misanthropic moonbats?” SHIT man! that’s beautiful! I love it!
“Dr. D, you attack us for slagging Moore yet you say nothing about Moore who uses the same tactics that you find so reprehensible. Moore is nothing more than a cheap shot artist.”
Whatever. I thought the point under discussion was that he was a lousy tipper. Now you want to justify a suspect attack by saying, in effect, “Well, he does it too!” How bloody childish.
For good measure, you turn all this into a genuine ad hominem argument, using his alleged stinginess as an argument against his films.
Well, no one ever said the Right knew how to construct an argument. This thread proves it–all mud-slinging, no facts, no arguments, no reason. Typical.
Has anyone spotted the corpulent Madcow Parrish of Heffer McClellan elbow to elbow at a feed lot buffet with these other Liberal celeb porkers??….oh yeah..they’re all those scumbag American “Bastards”…that precludes Madcow Parrish from sharing a slops trough with her fellow liberal porkers in the US……but we’ll keep an eye on it anyway 😉
As usual the Left misses the point.
Dr. D., the point of the thread is not that he is a lousy tipper, it is that like so many of his ilk, he is a HYPOCRITE.
He is reportedly always standing up for the working man & woman but can only provide them with a mere $1.27. That and another two bucks might buy you a cup of coffee.
He should put his OWN money where his mouth is, but then again not even B. Gates has enough money to cover MM’s spouting off.
Dr. Dog said:
“no one ever said the Right knew how to construct an argument. This thread proves it–all mud-slinging, no facts, no arguments, no reason. Typical.”
Well, Dr. Doggie, I am a righty. I do actually know how to form an argument. However, when it comes to Michael Moore, if you understand how wrong and disingenuous he is, what with using carefully selected interviews of braindead lefties and using their incoherent, programmed rantings, there is no argument. Everyone’s justified in ridiculing that professional ridiculor-for-millions-of-dollars.
Moore, after all, cherishes his notoriety with the huge, indoctrinated leftofascist unwashed masses. They pay several of their easily-earned-via-checks-for-doing-nothing dollars en masse to see that big white blob’s “work”.
Yeah, I know you think I made no argument here, but I, like many of my fellow good right-thinking brethren, was simply expressing my OPINION of that becapped, bespectacled, bearded, smells-like-armpits-and-unwashed-bum big fat blob of dough.
When an issue worthy of the formulation of argumentative points arises, you can be assured I’ll be there if I have time.
Here’s some (unverified) reason to believe that Mikey Mooreon is a lying piece of weasel dung:

Have a great long weekend, good moonbat!
“When an issue worthy of the formulation of argumentative points arises, you can be assured I’ll be there if I have time.”
I look forward to it. It would make a nice change.
In the meantime, you enjoy your weekend too. It’s a working one for me, I’m afraid, but at least the weather’s nice here.
