He complained about the food and made them bring out another plate. Twice. He didn’t want to tip. It was embarrassing. The food was good. He made a complete arse of himself and saved a few £/$ and was clearly pleased with himself. Clearly these people are rich for a reason but FFS. I apologised to the staff for his behaviour.16Reply

To be a billionaire you have to get used to promise people things and then not giving them.
You cannot be a billionaire while having the slightest shred of decency.
These people hoard money, every penny is as important as the next 1000 dollars.
Oh absolutely.
Had a friend that was absolutely minted.
Went out for dinner with him once.
He used coupons (groupon?). He complained about the food and made them bring out another plate. Twice.
He didn’t want to tip.
It was embarrassing. The food was good. He made a complete arse of himself and saved a few £/$ and was clearly pleased with himself.
