Jennifer Lopez’s restaurant etiquette has been under fire recently.
Over the years, there have been accusations that she can be particularly difficult to serve and is a terrible tipper.
Working in the service industry is no joke, with many waiters putting on a happy face for miserable clientele in the hopes of getting a decent tip if any at all.
You would expect that people with Big Hollywood Money would be generous enough to acknowledge the service they receive, but alas, some people are too far up their own bums to do the acceptable thing.
While both Ben Affleck and J-Lo have faced separate accusations, one worker claims that it is ‘Jenny from the block’ to blame for the couple’s notorious stinginess.
Your Tango reported that Penny, who is a manager of a tavern in Las Vegas, shared the alleged story told to her by one of her former employees who served Affleck while he gambled in a Vegas casino in 2021:
According to Penny, Affleck sat down at a poker table that Tiffany had been serving. “He wound up sitting at the poker table for her entire shift and she stayed an hour and half over [her shift],” she says. “She took care of him that entire time while he was gambling.” She adds that Tiffany had not taken any other customers during her shift and was only serving Affleck.
Penny reports that Affleck was “very happy” with Tiffany’s service, but then Lopez arrived to steal her thunder:
“Ben goes, ‘thank you very much, you were great. I hope you’re here tomorrow I’m gonna be back,’” she says. Affleck allegedly then placed $10,000 in Tiffany’s tray as a tip. Unfortunately, she did not get to keep it.
“Jennifer immediately snatched the money, said ‘hell no!’ and took it back,” Penny alleges. The incident left Affleck so mortified, that he decided to grant Tiffany a token of appreciation in a different way.
The next morning Tiffany received a note that said “he profusely apologized and was completely embarrassed,” Penny says, along with a bouquet of flowers and $25 000:
“Ben is an excellent tipper, J-Lo is a piece of sh*t,” she adds.
In another TikTok video (now deleted ), a former casino dealer claimed that Lopez is “stingy” and reportedly tells Affleck not to tip:
The pop star allegedly circles back to each table that Affleck was served, takes the tip money he originally left them and replaces it with $5 or $10.
It’s not just Bennifer that’s bad to waiters.
Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are among those who have been forced to defend themselves after being accused of being rude to staff.
Meanwhile, a popular TikTok trend back in 2020 revealed how myriad other celebrities generally treat their servers:
The more infamous case, if you remember, was The Late Late Show host James Corden, who got absolutely roasted for being rude to servers at a high-end New York eatery.
I don’t care how high your pedestal is, celebs, bend down and tip your servers properly.
