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.

Exactly. $700 tap is an easy mark with 4-6 people at a high end steak house. Heck it ain't to hard with 3-4 people. We don't know how long he was there. Couple $200-300 bottle of wines, and bingo bang-o there u r.

A few yrs back after a few pre-dinner hh drinks (same place) a first bottle of about $200 we decided to check out a $1000 bottle of wine to see if it was any better than the first bottle. It wasn't. I think their were 3 (maybe 4 but pretty sure it was 3) of us. A $700 dinner tab for people like PM are like $75 tabs for the average person.

I love when servers "auto gratuity" my check.....it is always well below what I would have given them on my own.

me too. I'll 20% in a heart beat but if you auto tip it will be lower than what I'd give.

On another note, if you auto tip the sales tax is to be determined by the entire amount (check + auto tip). Ran into that problem many moons back while working at Holston Hills CC and we had a sales tax audit. Everthing there had an automatic 15% (banquets, Sunday buffets, casual diners, even individual drinks/beers) and the CC got hit with a huge bill for not sales tax on it. They determined it was part of the price not voluntary. TMYK

BS title. Waiter got himself fired. Customers are entitled to their privacy. It's no one's business where Peyton eats or how much he spends. Plus dude put Peyton's credit card number online. Big no-no. You think other celebrities are gonna want to eat there if they think there is a chance their receipts might get posted online? Manager did the right thing.

Yeah the cc# wasn't completely on it but I still thought he should have at least covered that part when he posted it. I agree with u on rest. It sux cause you know he meant no harm with it, but should have kept it to himself.

I would have probaly suspended him if it was a first offense, and he isn't a bad employee. Also make sure the rest of the staff re-read the handbook and tested them on it. Of course the owner can handle the way he felt best. It was in the media though so as an owner I hope he thought about the fact that his response will be also. IMHO that's all...

Good waiter with him at his table is different than a good employee overall. Not saying he isn't but just making the distinction. I'm sure you've worked with people that aren't good co-workers but change in front of employees that love them.

Sound familiar???

Ok... oskie, lets not get too technical with all this. I meant he must of done a nice enough job that Manning threw a couple benjis his way. No need to do a background check on his use of the bathroom break policy. However, it was the most expensive 200 dollars he will ever make.

Yea no way I would put Hard Rock in their league, was just comparing the amount of food and alcohol we had. Definitely need to check them out.

Correct the thread title. Peyton didn't get him fired, either inadverdently or not.

Peyton tipped him. That's it.

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.

He may have made a photo copy of the reciept and signature which would be illegal anyway esp if a CC number was on it

The title makes it sound like Peyton *****ed about the food or something.

No, a generous tip did it. :blink:

Angus Barn is a great restaurant. Didn't know that's where this occurred until reading this thread.

It's not like PM stops by that place every day though. Had the impression it was a place accustomed to lots of celebs... it's just the typical upscale steak spot you'd find in most cities.
