So... little bit of a true... ironic/funny story for you FlamJammers...
I'm work at Ruby Tuesdays. It's a sit-down american cuisine restaurant.
Anyways, we've been busy lately because two competing restaurants in our immediate vicinity have closed down recently. One for good, the other for remodeling.
So, I'm serving last night, and a buddy of mine is working the bar. The bar is surrounded by booths, which the bartender also takes care of. Anyways there's this group of rather classy h00d ninja's that comes in, reeking of weed a mile away. Whatever, I've dealt with it plenty of times because of my old job... though the area where this restaurant is it was a little out of the ordinary. They all order the works, have some drinks of Patron, ribs, chicken, steak combo's with the salad bar and everything.
In the end, between these four classy fellows... they rack up a tab of over $100 easy. Well, in the midst of all the business, they leave cash for the bartender in the check presenter but end up not only leaving him nothing for tip, but shorting him nearly $20... not quite as baller as they look...
Funny thing about the story is, one of the h00d ninja's leaves his shades behind. Probably some cartier's or gucci's or something, and more than likely of the genuine variety... why do you ask? Because the numbskull actually had the nerve to come back to the restaurant, interrupt the bartender while he was taking care of other guests, and ask for his shades back.
This was classic. The bartender said, yeah I got your shades right here along with the remainder of your bill which you left short! The guy mumbled and tried to make up some sort of excuse and blame it on one of the other classy fellows he was with... doesn't matter... it's short and you won't be getting your shades until you pay up.
In the end, after some embrassment, and more excuses... he finally paid up. Still obviously left ZERO tip... which is to be expected from a fellow as classy as him I reckon.
But it was hands down, a great situation to watch unfold. Humorous to watch the unballerness unfold.
