Zuckerberg stiffs Rome waiter on honeymoon
Facebook’s $20 billion dollar man probably didn’t get rich by being overly generous.
Now, Mark Zuckerberg’s penurious ways are attracting the attention of at least one Rome waiter, who received no tip from the Facebook founder.
Zuckerberg is in Italy on his honeymoon. He married longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan in his back yard the day after the social media giant’s company went public, making him and many of his employees some of the richest people on Earth.
London Telegraph reporter Nick Squires reports Zuckerberg and Chan really like artichokes. While honeymooning Monday, they dined on deep-fried artichokes, fried pumpkin flowers and ravioli stuffed with sea bass and more artichokes. The total bill – about $40. The tip? Zero.
Waiters at the “service included” restaurant Nonna Betta were “amazed” they didn’t at least get a Like, a Poke or even a friend request from Chan’s dog Beast.
Word is the happy couple also didn’t tip the night before after eating pizza.
This kind of news could make Italian waiters as depressed as Facebook’s stock.

Zuckerberg is idiot. he can hand out a hundred bill to everyone he ever meets and it wouldn’t dent his fortune. Additionally, it would be worth a hundy to keep these stories from making you sound like a tool.

Tipping is beyond out of control in the states, so it’s no wonder this made “headline” news.

What idiot writer submitted this story in the first place? There’s limited tipping in Europe due to people there get appropriate salaries, unlike here in the U.S. They also get paid vacations and cannot be fired at the drop of a hat, FYI. If you want to criticize something, look within our own borders and pick something worth addressing.

So, when are we burning him at the stake for not leaving a tip? I’ve got my pitchfork ready.

Does this mean Zuckerberg might be eligible to have his own show on TBS or BET soon?
