A banker left a 1% tip in defiance of 'the 99%' at a Newport Beach restaurant the other week, according to his dining companion and underling who snapped a photo of the receipt and posted it to his blog, Future Ex Banker. (Update: the blog is now offline.)

In posting the photo, the employee gave some background on his boss and the receipt:

But if all the servers got better jobs, the banker would starve to death.

SERIOUSLY. My grandfather - NOT A MEMBER of the 1%, for the record, but a disabled senior citizen veteran who supports his adult children, grandchildren, and young great-grandchildren, so you think he would be a little more understanding about the plight of people with no damn money - says this shit all the time. Every single time we're like, who the hell is going to serve you dinner at a drive-thru or clean the bathrooms at your church or empty your freaking bedpan after surgery, because if all those "fake jobs" go away then you're screwed.

Or his own fucking employees. He wouldn't be in the 1% if he didn't have those in the 99% managing his paperwork and doing the tasks he's "too good" to do.
