Philly Couple Arrested For Not Tipping At Happy Hour

NBC Philadelphia – If you’re frustrated by poor service at a restaurant, think twice before you decide to not tip. You may be in for a bit more than just a dirty look from the waiter. “Nobody, nobody wants to be forced to pay a tip or be arrested for terrible service,” Leslie Pope said when her happy hour ended in handcuffs. Pope and John Wagner were hauled away by police and charged with theft for not paying the mandatory 18 percent gratuity totaling $16 after eating at the Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem, Pa. with six friends. Pope claimed that they had to wait nearly an hour for their order and that she had to get napkins and silverware for the table herself. After the $73 bill came, the group paid for food, drinks, and tax but refused to pay the tip. After explaining the bad service to the bartender in charge, Pope claimed he took their money and called police. The couple was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car.

I’m so sick of people that cry about tipping. “It’s gratuity! Its not mandatory!” How bout you shut the fuck up you cheap bastards. You know what you get when you go to a dumpy place like the Lehigh Pub? Shitty service, that’s what. You know exactly what you’re getting into. Don’t take it out on the single mom who’s squeezing in a shift at the Pub in between sessions at the titty bar. Poor waitress was probably just hoping that she could for once get a tip without popping a ping pong ball out of her pussy or something like she usually does when shes stripping. This rant is getting way off topic. Point is, at this stage, tip has gotta be 100% factored into your total bill or you are just being an asshole. And spare me the sob story about how in Europe tipping isn’t automatic. Europe fucking sucks.  Probably the only place worse than Philly as a matter of fact.  Everyone should know that by now. Nobody wants to be like them, and if you do, you can get the fuck out.

Did that son of a bitch give you a 20 dollar tip?

How much did he give you?

Was it over 30?

If it is over 30 I want you to raise that cup over that pot.

kfc, you know this story has nothing to do with philly?

1. The bartender should be fired for being retarded. Bad press for pub. So dumb.

2. Bethlehem obviously has too many cops. Time to cut some of them and save the taxpayers some money.

3. I would sue the pub for breach of contract and filing a false claim.

4. I would like to give Leslie a tip. A purple one.

Hey KFC, lemme tell u something you fucking raving lunatic. Im the 1st guy to give a hefty tip when the service is good. But if the service sucks and Im getting my own napkins and waiting an hour for my meal, u can bet your bottom dollar ill be the 1st guy dropping an upper decker in the mens room toilet followed by giving the manager an atomic wedge and breaking the jaw of the 1st person that tries to do something about it. You fucking asshole, just cause uve been on the waitstaff at Applebees throughout your adult life doesnt mean a tip is mandatory. Get your head outta ur ass

» Great White Hunter said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 01:11:29 }

I could so use a ski trip. Been well over a year.

Mr family man itching to blast some lines. You are so full of shit

» TouchMySportsHub said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 01:11:30 }

I hate when they put the tip on automatically. It usually screws them because I will only pay the exact tip amount and usually I leave 20+% if the math works out.

Suckers.

i stopped tipping at dunkin donuts … they pissed me off for life.

» Heated76 said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 01:11:02 }

No wonder the Viking’s daughter is the middle school cum dumpster. Her fathers a coke-head

» Great White Hunter said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 01:11:36 }

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 01:11:02 }

i wonder what my middle school cum dumpster is up to?

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:07 }

» Larry T Williams said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:23 }

I know black people tip. I usaully tell the waitress “avoid a horny prison monster if you don’t want your ass torn up” a tip like that is worth it’s weight in gold, let me tell you!

» Heated76 said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:40 }

o jesus here we go deleting my posts

» Heated76 said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:49 }

Larry T’s gotta be banned. He’s racist and outta control. I can tell ya right now alotta people dont like his schtick. Hes gotta be shut down before he really offends someone like Obama or Whoopi Goldberg

» The-Viking said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:03 }

Listen Wilson, your obsession with me is borderline scary at this point. Seriously, stop reading so much into everything I write. I said I haven’t done it in over a year, right? Must have a hell of a problem with it huh? You’re a buffoon.
I am a family man, and a good one at that. Never said I was Mr. Rogers. I did my tours then got back and partied and got it out of my system, sue me.

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:58 }

kmarko, what are your picks?

i don’t wanna hear on monday that you took the jets and rams in a $100 moneyline parlay and hit for 12,000.

» Larry T Williams said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:02 }

SUE EVERYBODY and call Heated to represent you.

» Heated76 said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:51 }

Somebody call Social Services on this asshole. I got a strong hunch The Viking sits at home all day blowing lines and selling food stamps for half the price so he can get more cash to buy snow; meanwhile his kids are going hungry. Not good

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:37 }

the viking sniffs coke off his own daughters boobs??? that’s awful.

» Larry T Williams said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:42 }

Heated or imposter, your last comment REALLY sucked. Even by your standards it was just unbearable.

» The-Viking said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:48 }

You guys are brutal. One could even say BARBARIC!!!

» Heated76 said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:23 }

Larry T maybe if you had me represent you you wouldnt have gotten your manhood taken from you in jail u fucking tranny. Your public defender screwed u in the ass in more ways than one.

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:26 }

i like all your picks. probably a bad thing for you.

» Wicked Mr Pickett said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:41 }

Not an obsession buddy, you double talk constantly. Got it out of your system? You just said you need a ski trip (clever “code” you tools use by the way). One blabbing piece of shit after another out of you. If you tools are waxing about the glory days of sniffing you must be pushing 40… shit move on and leave this site for oldfux.com will you?

NYCBSS commenters = Mickey Rourker in the wrestler…. sniffing, smoking, and listening to Ratt…….bahahahahahahaha

» Detox said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:49 }

of course i’ll say it’s detox. will he know that detox = commenter?

» The-Viking said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:26 }

I never once used the word need, stop reading shit into my posts.
And you know, coming from someone who chooses a screen name from a woman beating, drunk driving murdering gun nut, you got some fucking issues you need to clean up of your own bub.
you fucking sociopath.
What the fuck have you ever done or accomplished in your life? I can tell you I earned my party years. Scumbag.

» The-Viking said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:00 }

Never know Detox, he ain’t that quick on the uptake old Portnoy..

» ilovefarts said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:15 }

» Great White Hunter said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:06 }

viking, pickett, relax. not interesting anymore.

» The-Viking said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:53 }

GWH I want nothing more than for Wilson to get off my tip man, I don’t even mention him anymore and he scours the site looking for something I said so he can change a few words make it sound worse and post it somewhere else with a little diatribe attached to it.

» jake shuttlesworth said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:19 }

as a side note this took place in Bethlehem Pa, which is about 70 miles outside of Philadelphia.

» kale said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 02:11:01 }

as a side, side note this took place in Bethlehem Pa, which is about 80 miles outside of NYC.

I can’t blame them for not tipping…i mean, what would they be tipping for? Wonderful press for a restaurant though. Come in, wait on yourself, enjoy no refills and a long wait for your food, then leave in handcuffs! Good family fun!

» Great White Hunter said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 03:11:14 }

kale, i already wrote that shit. thanks for reaffirming.

» kale said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 04:11:49 }

lol, you assume that i read long threads when half of the posts are about eating other dudes asses.

» jake shuttlesworth said: { Nov 20, 2009 - 07:11:30 }

kale, like yourself i did not read the entire post and missed Great White Hunters post.
..however its apparent you read the post directly above yours (mine), dunno if u were trying to be clever but it comes off as redundant.. point was it has nothing to do with philly.. regardless its distance to NYC is useless information

» trickydicky said: { Nov 23, 2009 - 06:11:57 }

72 * 18% = $12.96/6 people= $2.16 a person in gratuity. Fucking cheap Philadelphians. Your not a MLK, quit trying to make a statement. Too fucking bad your non-alcoholic beer took an extra two minutes, get over it. And yeah you deserved to be arrested because your all fuck twats.
