Bankers Boycott Mario Batali Restaurants

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/10/nyregion/banker…

What a typical brainless celebrity.

I hope this idiot really feels the pain of his stupidity and I hope it gets alot of press so as to show these doofuses that:

1- they are fucking stupid 2- if you go around running your mouth you're going to end up with your ass battered
“The way the bankers have toppled the way that money is distributed, and taken most of it into their own hands,” Mr. Batali said, “is as good as Stalin or Hitler, the evil guys”

Also... money isn't "distributed" in this country, its earned. (atleast not yet)

I love Otto's.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

Bumping this thread because the kettle has been calling the pot black:

Batali took a detour, through his lawyers, to New York federal court in Manhattan, where he was sued and accused of cheating workers of part of their tips for serving wine. He and his associate Joseph Bastianich agreed to pay $5.25 million to settle the class-action lawsuit, according to court papers. Servers at restaurants including Babbo, Casa Mono and Tarry Lodge sued in 2010 alleging their employers violated the Fair Labor Standards Act -- in part by pocketing gratuities equal to as much as 5 percent of nightly wine sales.

"Mr. Batali, Mr. Bastianich, and their restaurants unlawfully confiscated a portion of their workers' hard-earned tips in order to supplement their own profits," employees said in their complaint.

The settlement agreement, filed March 5, is subject to approval by a federal judge."The matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties, Rachel Bien, one of the employees' lawyers, said today by e-mail.

The case is Capsolas v. Pasta Resources Inc., 10-cv-5595, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). Batali on Bankers
