Protip: When waiting on a 1%er, don't hand them their bill

Castle, 76, is the chairman and CEO of Castle Harlan, a private equity firm. Before that, he was CEO of the investment banking firm Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. His is a positively Romney-esque tale of the value of raiding companies to extract value—his business acumen has subsidized a lifestyle that included purchasing the Kennedy family's Palm Beach, Fla., compound in in 1995 and hosting magnificently lavish weddings there for his children, complete with Trader Vic's catering and Mar-a-Lago luncheons.

And on Saturday night, according to a complaint filed with the Palm Beach Police Department, he reacted to subpar service by calling his waiter a "schmuck" and breaking his finger. Castle and his wife Marianne, the complaint says, were having dinner at Club Colette, an elite Palm Beach private dining club (restaurants are for poors), when their waiter Paul Kucik made the unforgivable error of bringing them the check. Which is vulgar, I guess? From the report, which was first reported by the Palm Beach Daily News:

Kucik stated that Mrs. Castle requested that Kucik bring her their dinner bill. Kucik stated that when he returned to the Castles' dinner table, Mrs. Castle instructed him to give the bill to her husband, John Castle who was seated across the dinner table from her.

Kucik stated that he attempted to hand Mr. Castle the bill and Mr. Castle became irate with him and yelled, "You schmuck, why did you bring the bill to the table?" Kucik stated that he replied, "because your lady asked for it." Kucik stated while he stood on the left side of Mr. Castle, he (Kucik) attempted to hand Mr. Castle an ink pen. Mr. Castle began ranting and grabbed Kucik's left hand and began squeezing and twisting his fingers. Kucik stated that Mr. Castle had a very tight grip of his left hand and Kucik had to pull his left hand out of Mr. Castle`s grasp. Kucik stated he was not certain which hand Mr. Castle grabbed his left hand with, but he believed Mr. Castle used his right hand.

Kucik stated that he immediately notified his employer of the incident, but no action was taken. Kucik stated he began experiencing pains in his fingers as a result of Mr. Castle's actions. Kucik stated that on January 8, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., he went to the M.D. Walk-In Clinic located on Lantana Road. Kucik stated an X-Ray of his fingers indicated that his left ring finger was broken.

I did observe that Kucik's left ring finger and pinkie finger were wrapped in blue medical tape.

It's probably best not to make eye contact, speak unless spoken to, or stand taller than them either.
 
He should have worked harder and gotten a better job. It's his own fault and he should be happy he gets a paycheck. What an ungrateful schmuck!

I knew a guy who worked at a country club as a doorman and he really did have to observe these rules. He didn't mind because he made more on tips than he did from his paycheck.
 
This is just an isolated idiot. I dont really know many 1%ers. I hate country clubs also. Should have just called the cops and charged him with assault. Sounds like workmans comp case to me. Next drink might have Arsnic in it.
 
The waiter should have had Castle arrested for asault and battery.

Those 1%er's can really act like asses, unlike the other 99%.

This. Felony assault.

Or the waiter should have smashed Castle's face into the table in self-defense.

I'm impressed that a 76-year-old could break anyone's finger.

The waiter didn't break his fucking neck or at least attempt to break/cut his finger off in return? Pathetic. I would have squashed the imbecile for attacking me, any means necessary. What a piece of shit this douche bag is, who cares if he's rich. People like that need to be beaten like unruly dogs every once and awhile to set examples for the rest of the pack.
 
So, wait, now everytime someone from "the 99%" does something to prove he is a jerk, I should create a thread about how all of "the 99%" are jerks?

Is that how this game works?
