LeBron Sucks At Tipping
In Case You're Looking For A Reason To Root Against King James, Here You Go
For whatever reason, people seem to be looking for ways to hate LeBron these days. Personally, I hate him because he shot 2-18 from the field in Game one of the Boston/Cavs series and am now out $50, but some people are looking for more than that.

For those people, here you go. LeBron is a horrible, horrible tipper.

According to Cleveland Scene, which is a web site I'm too bored to do any research on, LeBron habitually under tips at the XO Prime Steakhouse in Cleveland. And he's done it so much, a waiter there even quit in disgust. So here are the details.
According to a source, a peer recently quit after tiring of LeBron going Scrooge McDuck on his ass.

It went down like this: LeBron pulls up in his Mercedes outside XO. People stop and try not to stare, but c'mon, it's LeBron James. He enters the restaurant with a group of friends. On this special occasion, the King decides to dine late. He keeps his group there until around 3:45 a.m.

During this time the waiter obsequiously pours drinks and fetches anything else His Greatness needs. The final bill comes to $800. By the feudal laws of decorum, which stipulate that the affluent should administer a 20 percent gratuity, staffers figured they'd be pocketing an extra $160.

But when they fetched the autographed bill after His Heinousness bolted back to Akron, their expectation turned to disbelief, then anger. LeBron stiffed them with a meager $10 tip. This is what French nobles like to call your requisite Bourgeois Bitch-Slap. The waiter wouldn't even take it, tired of being sh*t on by guys like LeBron.

That's admittedly pretty damn cold. But when you've been pampered for the majority of your life, you sometimes forget about the serfs below you. So either you learn from it or you anger them until they behead you during a revolution.

But hey, that's the danger of being King. Let them eat cake!
