Looks like Mario might not be so $uper
Dude...bad, bad karma to tip skim.
We know that tipping is a touchy subject here, but not as touchy as it is to the wait staff at the restaurants owned by celeb chef Mario Batali. The red-headed TV personality is the subject of a class action lawsuit that alleges he's been screwing his employees over by skimming off the top of the tip pile.
The lawsuit claims that Batali has been holding back on sharing credit card tips and that the amount being withheld is equal to 4-5% of the nightly wine sales at his restaurants. - Consumerist and NYPost
