His name is dirt at the moment, only tipped 40 dollars on his bill in a hollywood restaurant.

It's so bad they even tried to contact him and staff for an explanation lmao

The purchase is covered so we can't see what he bought, could have been one bottle of wine and the waiters are crying.

Read the update...

UPDATE: A rep for Drai's says a 15% gratuity was included on Jean-Claude's tab ... and that his $40 was on top of that amount.

exactly and isn't it customers choice whether they pay a tip, maybe the service was crap anyway.

The waiter could have provided horrible service, thus forcing Jean Claude's hand in providing a pathetic tip.

The way I see it, every waiter starts off with a projected 20% tip. Depending on whether or not his service remains exceptional, I will either keep the estimated tip at 20% or reduce accordingly to a fitting amount.

While I know that a waiter practically lives off of his tips, for a restaurant to try and contact Van Damme regarding the lack of a sufficient tip is downright insane. There is no legal obligation to the amount of tip one must leave. It's a damn tip for crying out loud..

Is he broke JNN?? I have heard this but it seems unlikely. I mean, i have many of his movies and his should not be broke.

If they don't like it, next time its zero.

Better yet, he should just provide the waiter with a 360-spinning kick for good measure..

Maybe if you included tips in the price of the food and then paid your workers more?

But then you Americans would have nothing to bitch about

Ron · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2011, 03:22:35 PM »

They include 15% right off the bat, whether the service was good or not - he gave $40 more, and they call him cheap? Screw the restaurant who complains on this. Jeez.

Give him a break, it was his last $40.00

DK II · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2011, 03:26:57 PM »

Why do they expect every guy that at some time in his life acted in a hollywood movie has to tip 500$$?

They should fire the waiter who let this slip, bad rep for the customer, what a fucked up restaurant.

Fortress · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2011, 03:27:55 PM »

A tip is a tip ... for exceptional service. I leave what I feel the server deserves. If the service sucks, I leave nothing. Fuck 'em.

PJim · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2011, 03:34:24 PM »

It's not like the states over here, you don't have to leave a tip, you just fuck off after you've finished your food. I only tip if it's for an insanely hot waitress.

Firemuscle · « **Reply #20 on:** February 06, 2011, 03:56:53 PM »

Fuck tipping.

It's a stupid and fucked up system.

The restaurant should pay the waiters more so we don't have to support them with tips.

USA is the only country with such a fucked up system.

Disgusted · « **Reply #21 on:** February 06, 2011, 05:36:04 PM »

Fuck the restaurant and fuck TMZ for stirring up shit just for their own agenda.

flexingtonsteele · « **Reply #22 on:** February 06, 2011, 05:48:24 PM »

The service probably sucked.

Id bet they were lucky to even get that $40......

Dont believe everything u see and read on TMZ guys.

Firemuscle · « **Reply #23 on:** February 06, 2011, 05:50:54 PM »

A 40 dollar tip is pretty fucking GOOD.

Some chump waiter gets 40 bucks for about an hour of work. Sound like a good deal to me.

FUCK these asshole waiters who think they deserve 20%. They can kiss my ass.

I went to dinner with a friends family when i was in high school.

His grandfather was taking everyone out for my buddies graduation.

Well, it was a pretty nice restaurant and what this old man did was. He put 5 $20 bills on the table. He told the waitress. "Right now this is your tip, now everytime my drink isnt full, u dont clear the table when your supposed to, or u dont bring me a bottle of ketchup when i get my steak im gonna take away one of these 20's.."

Needless to say that nite I had some of the best service I ever had and that waitress walked out with a $100 tip for a five or six hundred dollar tab......Not too bad if u ask me.
