Social media is abuzz over the infamous “1% tipper” story involving True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach.

The story about a 1% tipper in Orange County has been making the rounds on Twitter and Facebook since Friday. In a blog, an anonymous employee dubbed Future Exbanker, posted a photo (shown right) of a receipt left by his or her boss at True Food Kitchen. The employer, according to the photo, left $1.33 tip on a bill of $133. 54.

Making matters worse, an insulting message is left for server Breanna: “Get a real job.”

Who is Breanna? Who is this alleged cheapskate banker? And, what exactly went down that day at True Food Kitchen?

This afternoon, True Food Kitchen, finally responded to the viral blog post.

“We’re glad to respond to the news stories about a tipping incident at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. Our first concern is with our staff, we are very fortunate to have employees that are talented, bright, and undoubtedly, some of the best in the business. We’re also glad to be able to clear up some misinformation regarding the incident at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. The receipt that was originally posted on the blog, Future Ex Banker, and then republished by various websites, was, in fact, altered and exaggerated. We can also assure you that the receipt was not posted and altered by anyone on behalf of True Food Kitchen. We respect our guests’ privacy and take it very seriously; we would never share personal information.”

True Food Kitchen didn’t explain what part of the receipt was altered.

The Register tried to contact “FutreExBanker” via Twitter on Friday, but the blogger has yet to respond. His website was shutdown late Friday, according to HuffPost. The Twitter account is also offline.
