Is The Rock a good tipper?

Place: Hereford House
Location: Kansas City
Recently, an actor known as “The Rock” was a customer of mine at a well-known steak-house that has been in business for 50 years. He called ahead and asked for the restaurant to open early to accommodate him, as he was trying to avoid fans. I got to be the lucky fool who had to open and set-up for this joker. He ran me with with this little complaint, ten refills on his soda, too much butter on his garlic toast, etc. The whole ordeal was hardly worth the lousy $7.00 tip I got. While this did average to be about 25%, I would think that a man that has dolls and watches in his likeness could have tossed at least a $20 for the extra time and service. This guy is not a “Rock” to me, just a cheap pebble.
I don’t consider myself greedy or ungrateful, I’m just a lowly server and I would tip more than that if I imposed on someone’s personal time like that. He is definitely the poorest celebrity tipper I have ever served.
