R-Patz Is One Cheap Bitch!

7/19/2009 7:54 PM ET | Filed under: Icky Icky Poo • Anglophilia • Robert Pattinson

Either our darling Robert Pattinson is terrible at mathematics or he's cheap as all hell!

R-Patz and some pals grabbed a bite to eat at Il Cantinori in Greenwich Village last Tuesday and reportedly only left a $50 tip on their $350 bill!!!

Not even 15%!!

Even though the waiter described Pattinson as "nice and friendly," Robert and his friends closed the restaurant down by being the last diners in the Italian eatery after boozing on a $60 bottle of wine and numerous bottles of Italian beer with their food.

Regardless, learn some manners, R-Patz!

They don't tip in the UK, but they do in America!

lol he can come to australia any time - you dont have to tip here

Ok. Frankly I don't giv a flying fig roll about robert patisson, but just wanted2point out the American tipping culture is beyond a joke. In europe, we do tip, but tipping is regarded as a bonus for exceptional service. eg. you wouldn't tip 4 a coffee because a monkey could make it, but you would tip for dinner. approx 10%. Americans expect tips in order to subsidise their crappy salaries which are ridiculous. If employers would give out a decent minimum wage you could do away with the whole tipping thing mostly. Why should anyone have to factor an extra 50 dollars in?! Which by the way is a pretty generous tip. Also, I highly doubt pattison could have eaten that much food all alone.

Oh, knickers are being twisted all over the place over this issue! Tipping is not a common practice here in Australia either. The difference being, our wait staff and bar staff are paid a decent wage in the firstplace, so they feel they need to kiss up your ass so much for a scrap more. We have much more honest wait/bar staff here! LMAO!

we do generally tip here but its more around the 10% mark. he left $50 on a $350 bill thats more than enough…..just because it isnt quite 15% doesnt mean hes cheap get over it!!!….and also who the hell cares about his tipping habits???

you tend to put an interesting spin on stories. this actually appeared on E!online almost 1 week ago.

brits and europeans (because the UK technically isn't in europe) don't tip. just ask any random waiter working in beverly hills.

We tip in the U.K, but not for bad service. At least I don't.
soxandgeorgie says – reply to this

307

This is SO old. We DO tip in the UK BUT ONLY IF WE'RE A TAXPAYER. And it's usually around 10%. We never used to but America has invaded many parts of our lives hahA.

Oh no he was $2.50 off leaving 15%- big wow! Give the guy a break

Its not his fault wages in the US for waiters are crap. Plus, why should you even tip for good service, surely its just expected.

I work in a restaurant and yesterday I had this group of 8 with a bill of 314,55 and they gave me 45 cents. so ehh yeah I would be happy with 50

It's hard to tip right when you're not used to it, nobody tips in my country but when I got to other countries I have no idea how much to tip.

in the UK we tip at least 10-15% you fcking moron!!!!
amyherbert says – reply to this

313

he was two dolars fifty cents away from 15%. does that really matter?and could people please just remember that just because the english do or dont do something doesnt mean that the scottish are the same.we tip.dont confuse us with the english.

I tip based on service I don't care how much I spent.

15% is $52.50…so what ur bitching over $2.50…sounds like ur the cheap one perez
R-PATZ'BITCH says – reply to this

316

gotta say thats pretty normal here in England, lol i think Robs forgotten where he is, either that or hasn't really realised. £50 tip on a £350 bill would be fine here. haha were tight bastards
wicked_game says – reply to this

317

Well, as you said, they don't tip in England. We don't tip here either, I would only tip if I really enjoyed the meal and the service was fantastic. It's not really newsworthy anyway.
alebanana says – reply to this

318

And this matters because…..?
Perezito…don't start with Rob! It was close to the 15% anyway!
Serena, You Twats says – reply to this

319

Oh my god, Mario… that's just over 14%!!
.
He's British, and over here we tip 10%, so he probably thinks a $50 is good. I do tip 15% when I'm in the States, but he probably thought nothing of it.
Anna_sig says – reply to this

320

It's customary in the UK to tip 10% so therefore he probably thought he was being generous, don't be so closed minded to people from a different place!

Like you'd know anything about manners fatass. You're still living with your mommy, how much do you tip her for making all your meals, making your bed, doing your laundry? You're a useless sack of shit.

this story is stupid. 50 bucks is heaps
metal_heart says – reply to this

325

god americans are so fucking greedy with tips. in england we tip like 10% at the most, and if it's a small bill then maybe not at all, and nobody expects more - i'm a waitress, i know. in america it's like you expect customers to pay twice the amount to account for a tip. so fucking greedy.
propp11 says – reply to this

326

50 dollars is basically 15% of that, maybe a bit short by like $3

Sakes, if people dont want to tip it should be fine.
maybe the service was shit.
metal_heart says – reply to this

327

besides, the service was probably shit, or average. i think r-pattz would have left a bigger tip if the service had been really good.

since when don't we tip in the UK?
Franz.co.uk says – reply to this

$50 is not TOO bad
this kind of rule about the 15% doesn't exist in Europe
sammyisadivaa says – reply to this

330

at least he left a decent tip.
jeez just because hes rich doesnt meen he has to leave a 200 dollar tip everytime he eats something!
sammyisadivaa says – reply to this

331

oh, and perez, i bet YOU dont tip over 10 percent!
saydawhat says – reply to this

332

plus, 10% in england is like 20% in america. if you say theres $2 to £1. all in all, we tip more. and honestly, who would say no to $50?
SunnshineGirlxxv says – reply to this

333

haha your an idiot. 52.50 is 15% so because he didn't leave two friggin dollars all of a sudden he's cheap? Did you hit on him, and get turned down? Your "gossip" is all biased. You're only nice to the celebs that kiss your butt. Get over yourself. Maybe the service wasn't that great. At least he tipped.
StaceyMichelle says – reply to this

334

I've been to the USA and I have to say your money is fucking weird. I'll give Rob that one but also what you gotta realise is… Rob isn't American, you can take him away from Britain but at the end of the day he's British and we do tip actually we're not tight bastards but we only tip if we actually like the thing and the money he already paid… if it was awful service then I think he payed enough! He's not a mug.
Sherry says – reply to this

335

This is an OLD story - heard it days ago already. And $50 is pretty big tip in my book.
Haribo says – reply to this

336

brits see tipping as a waste of time just imagine all brits to be just like Mr Pink from Reservoir Dogs, so the waiters get paid shit for hard work - is that my fault? did i give em that job no they chose it themselves its basically making sponging off people more acceptable by calling it a tip. money is money not to be wasted don't tip
alison_x says – reply to this

337

we do tip in the UK! you're supposed to leave 10% of your total bill, although i doubt a lot of people do.
sparkle and shine!! says – reply to this

338

Actually we do tip in the UK, maybe get your facts right before having a go at us, we tip if the service and the product are excellent and warrant a tip, if you're crap then no you don't get or deserve a tip, and if you make your money off tips then get another job, i earn rubbish money but i don't expect people to give me tips for doing the job i'm paid to do. Expecting a tip is just plain rude!

thatshiningstar says – reply to this

341

Does it really matter where anyone lives? geeze so what if the guy left a fricken $50 dollar tip, the waiter should be happy he got his tip and leave at that. IF this story is valid then there are a lot of things to take into account, especially if the server was friendly and did his job.
justasurfer says – reply to this

342

To be $2.50 short of a 15% tip is not necessarily being cheap. Tips are based on a number of things. Just because you're in the public eye doesn't mean you have to leave more than anyone else when it comes to tips for fear the media will make a big deal over nothing and report you as being 'cheap'. Give the guy a break and stop being so petty. Your column is better than that.

i think i'd be pretty happy with a 50 dollar tip. why should they have to give 15%? they'd already spent enough there. maybe he should come back to england where people don't expect tips from him…

What a load of baloney.
Bloodyzombie says – reply to this

353

to be honest, that would have been a tip i left. so someone famous should have left a slightly bigger tip. so i agree it's a bit stingy for a celebrity… but then again, we DON'T know if they received good service… the service might not have been good enough for an extra 10 or so dollars. But if the restaurant is complaining that he was stingy… than that's soooo unprofessional…

Re: waitress123 – DONT LIKE IT YOU STUPID IDIOTIC BITCH…GET A DIFFERENT FUCKING JOB! WANT MORE MONEY…UP THE MENU RPICES AND ASK FOR EXTRA WAGES. DONT COMPLAIN WHEN SOMEONE DOESNT DROP A GOOD TIP FOR WHAT IS USUALLY SUBSTANDARD SERVICE. FUCKING GIMP!

TIPPING IS PART OF GOING OUT…if you can't afford to tip - stay at home! Last I checked, you don't have to tip your microwave!

missmarianne says – reply to this

357

Perez shut up and get out of the States more, before you start bitching.
$ 50 is over 10% so it is a nice tip. Maybe a decent salary and benefits for staff is a good start, so people don't need to count on tips.

besides… 50 bucks is a very decent sized tip.
The Mancunian Candidate says – reply to this

362

reading these comments it seems america needs to change its system. $2.50 is what, £1.25 an hour, thats disgusting! dont you guys have minumum wage? even in mcdonalds in britain you earn at least £5 ($10) an hour! then in restaurants youll usually get left 10% but its not obligatory. cant they just increase their waiters wages and stop making people give huge tips to keep the staff above the poverty line?

372

Re: melonia – While I agree with you on most of your post a tip is just that…a tip for GOOD service!! If I go out to eat and get shoddy service from my waiter I will NOT be leaving a good tip. It's not a given that any waiter will be getting 15-20% of the bill. They do have to earn that tip. Let's not forget that. Meerly serving the food isn't part of being a good waiter.

Nickaholic23 says – reply to this

He's probably just stupid. He sure looks and acts that way. He did leave over 10%, and if you check a waiter's rant page online, that's more than a lot of celebrities leave.

and…your point is? I think that was a more than fair tip. I tip based on service, not cost. In Canada, people still need to EARN their tip, it's not expected. The US expects everything to be handed to them, at least Canadians can work for it.

PEREZ, you dumb bitch…. the rule is for tipping is not on alcohol. A $60.00 bottle of wine and lots of Italian beer. C'mon… the tip was very appropriate… I respect the job of being a waiter but $50 for bringing a bottle of wine and some beers and food.
The waiter made more in one day than I do…. Actually, do the math, subtract the wine and beer and the percentage is very high.
