Banker's 1% Tip, fake?
http://www.news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/bank…
"Yesterday we reported a story about a banker who allegedly left a $1.33 tip on a $133 lunch bill at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach, California. In addition, he added a 'tip' to "get a real job." It was meant to be a dig from the 1% to the 99%, and the story, as well as the image, were shared all over the Web. We posted it on our show and received thousands of comments about the insulting remark written on the receipt.
After contacting the restaurant, its spokesperson Jami Reagan told us the receipt was Photoshopped, and they have the original receipt to prove it. Trending Now has received the original copy of the receipt, and we can confirm that it was in fact digitally altered. Reagan said the reason that the issue was not corrected quicker is because the corporate offices were closed over the weekend.
The original receipt does not contain the tip "Get a real job." Also, the real bill was for $33.54, not $133.54, and the tip given was $7, not $1.33.
The blog that originally posted the receipt, Future Ex-Banker, was taken down Friday as well. True Food Kitchen also says that the receipt was not altered by anyone on their staff, adding that they would never post any guest's personal information."
Interesting, I wonder if the blogger was even really a banker or just someone trying to continue the controversy
It is apparantly photoshopped...
I once left a 1 cent tip @ UNO pizza. No kidding.
Nice job fact checking on Yahoo' s part. The media is so fucking biased they conveniently forget responsible journalism anytime a story comes up that remotely vilifies the financial industry. Disgusting.
Honestly i don't know about you angel boys/girls...but I like being part of the vilified industry....i love having the screw them mentality.

And this is why reading online "news" is bad for your health. Also, who fucking cares. Plenty of non bankers who are cheap fucks.
Could someone tell me a time when bankers WEREN'T vilified? I mean scrooge was basically a finance guy, so was potter from It's a wonderful life. Bankers are always assholes. You hate them when you get denied a loan and hate them when they loan you money when you shouldn't have gotten it.
You go into finance to make a lot of money, not give a shit what someone things.
A banker would have noticed that 1% of 133.54 (rounded) is actually 1.34.
