Of course, Gleick would be lying, but we know very well that his scientific ethics allow him to do that without compunction.

So the banker in this story may have been helping her to fully realize her own snobbery.

The restaurant found the original, which is for $33, not $133, has a 20% tip, and no note.

Unfortunately, he’ll never go there again.

Maybe not, but people than the restaurant waitstaff know who he is now. So he’s going to need to tip beyond standard in advance from now on if he’s smart.

Will Cain is also a jerk, I’m guessing

He certainly wears a very smug smile while defending the 1% from possible defamation.

Somebody ought to show him this report:

I’d tell the wait staff to get creative with what they put into his food.

I’ve worked in restaurants.

Nobody in that kitchen is waiting on a manager’s permission.

It would have been so much better if he went back and was thrown out.

And what the fuck is with the redacting? “oooh, we can’t mention his name because he is a rich guy.” Every one of them is kissing ass.

I’d tell the wait staff to get creative with what they put into his food.

The guy has probably never busted a sweat in his life. Get real.
