She Ain't Kind Enough to Give a Fat Tip

Designer clothes and shoes, vacation trips overseas, happy family life, and explorations in fields other than showbiz could very well sum up the life of Showbiz Personality (SP). Entering showbiz at a young age, SP managed to win the heart of the public because of her impact in the various projects she has spearheaded. Second to these achievements are the occasional stories about her love interests. Her love life has made headlines only because she is a public figure and any potential scandal always makes good copy.

Given that SP has devoted most of her adult life to showbiz, this time, she has decided to take it easy in her showbiz commitments, but a project of two would not hurt her pursuit of other interests. Thus, with more time for her other commitments, SP could not manage to go to places where people of her status should be seen. Hence, she took her staff to a Fast-rising Restaurant (FR) to treat them.

At FR, the staff was excited as well because SP is known to be generous when it comes to giving tips. Thus, the assigned servers were already teased that they would be receiving a huge amount of tip, and that they should, in turn, treat their co-workers to a round of drinks. SP was accorded the best service and served food that the staff made sure to be of the highest quality. The staff at FR was attentive and anticipated the needs of SP and her group. In short, SP was treated like a queen, which was the treatment she often received from the men in her life.

After SP and her entourage left, the waiters excitedly anticipated the huge tip. Thus, when they opened the bill folder, they were shocked and could not utter a word. The excitement turned to huge disappointment. They tried shaking the bill folder just to wake themselves from the feeling. Nope, that was it. SP and her entourage left a tip, which was only half of a hundred pesos. The two main servers were too insulted, as they had to divide the said amount between them.

While most people thought of rescuing SP from such incident and making crazy excuses, such as she might not have had enough cash then or she only had her credit card, FR could attest that such incident happened not once, but twice. FR treated SP like royalty, and still received the same amount of tip. Thus, the staff could no longer believe that SP was indeed generous to a fault. Despite her successful and lucrative endeavors, SP has transformed into a miser.
