A B.B. King Blues Club rep had no comment, but a current server at the club who didn’t want to be named confirmed that waiters are routinely forced to pick up tabs as high as $300. Ironically, one colleague was charged $100 because a table walked out while he was chasing down another set of dashing diners. In such cases, our source said, waiters will informally chip in to help the person whose pay has been docked. “They run the business very militantly,” our informant said of his bosses. “That’s why we have a high turnover rate.” The place better hope Attorney Kirschenbaum doesn’t get the numbers of all those disgruntled ex-employees. Though it’s apparently easy for diners to dodge steep bills, there’s no fleeing justice.
