It’s being spun that way. I kind of doubt it was ever really about that, though.

I wonder how engineered this all was. Surely she’d read about — or somebody mentioned — the statute of limitations. It’s come up all the time in stroies on this. Nobody’s put an episode of Law and Order in front of her, ever?

And the busser (and hostesses and bartenders etc.) usually all get a cut of the server's tips.

If she doesn't tip (as a rule), it would be fair to let her server (and maybe also the host and the busperson) know that when she first sits down. Or, if she still wants their constant attention (she strikes me as somebody who says "on the side," a lot) and no spit in her food, at least tell them after the meal, so…

One of the comments on that post (from a user others think is the author):

Folks who haven't worked in the service industry have no idea how tough it is — and they're usually the ones outraged how "that table sat down 2 minutes after us and they're getting their food before we are."

For me, it was less that it was cunty and more that it was just really, really weak. If you're going to be deliberately awful, be good at it.

Although, I was surprised and somewhat disappointed to see she's written songs on Madonna's new album, as I was really on the rabid "I've never heard of her before 3 minutes ago but I'm certain she'll never work again after this!" train this morning.
