The Angus Barn Menu - Raleigh, NC 27617 - (919) 781-2444

Actually, a decent meal at a bona fide "steak house" usually runs around $100 a piece, even more if you include a decent bottle of wine. You could certainly hit the $700 mark with 2-3 couples.

Hard Rock Cafe isn't quite in the league of this type of restaurant. USDA Prime beef and well-appointed service are costly.

Looks like the place runs about $75 a head. Party of 8 would easily eat up the $640 before the added grat...

My guess is that he probably wasn't bragging or anything by posting it. He was simply showing how great of a guy Peyton Manning is. Like a, "guys, check this out. He's the best tipper I've ever seen. Great guy."

I understand the guy possibly had good intentions, but you just can't do stuff like that. I mean, how would you like it if a receipt with your name, credit card, and signature showed up online? I wouldn't be happy. If you say you wouldn't care, feel free to post pictures here of your own recent signed statments with tips.

Catering to celebrities has another angle too. If you have some celeb who has a sponsorship with Visa and they pay with an AMEX, this little picture could get the celebrity canned and the restaraunt sued. What if you have an actress who is publicly opposed to eating meat and someone snaps a picture of her receipt showing someone at her table had steak?

Of course any of you legal guys, would Peyton have standing to sue the establishment over this instance? I know he won't, just curious what his legal options would be?

I haven't seen the receipt, but if I were to do it, I would definitely cross out the card information, then probably cross out the name and just have a mention that this was from "a certain qb who just got relieved of his duties"

Not really. This is clearly a very high class restaurant with a strict policy that is certainly known to its hirees. When you decide to buck policy, you buck yourself into the consequences mandated by that policy.

Why did he post that information anyway? To brag about the tip itself? Next time he might post on someone who gave a poor tip because he acted like a snot. To garner personal attention about having served Peyton Manning? Too many people today don't know how to shut up and respect confidentiality.

Plus having your payment info (credit card?) posted worldwide is surely unappreciated by any customer. especially in these times of I.D. theft.

You listed 3 options, but left out the most probable answer. As a server, the only reason I'd post it is to say "hey everyone, he's a phenomenal tipper. If you ever get a chance to wait on him, do it. You'll be glad you did. He was a great guy and was very generous. Best person I've ever waited on."
And him being somewhere where famous people somewhat attend regularly, if a person stands out more than others, you almost commend that person on being overtly generous.

I disagree that this is the most "probable answer".

If you work at a place where a $300-700 tab is normal, you're not gonna be bragging about tips in general. I've learned that since I've changed restaurants. Higher average checks generally means less competition and bragging between the servers.

The Angus Barn has a long tradition of serving celebrities major and minor, and it's a strict policy of the restaurant that their private dining experiences stay private.This isn't the Burger King down the road. Peyton paid for a private service and didn't get it this guy had every right to be fired the owner made the right choice.

Ive known plenty of friends who worked the places down in Ponte Vedra while I lived in JAX and they always seemed to have stories about how much such and such tipped them. The more probable scenerio here, IMO, was that he was bragging about it.

crusse10, you may be right but that waiter upon being hired was undoubtedly made aware of the privacy policy of the restaurant. His actions indicate a gross lack of common sense under the circumstances. I feel for the guy in this economy we have and the nice gig he had. But he must have known the policy.

Believe me, I'm not saying he shouldn't have been fired. I'm simply speaking to the reason I believe he did it.

If it doesn't have wine glasses and white cloth on the table then Peyton should be wasting his time there.
