Results: Part 2 of "He Was Rude" or "She was so nice" These comments from servers in the places famous people eat and drink may confirm our own impressions. Part 1 was about good impressions. Here are some bad ones.
Published on 09/20/2023
This is a follow up about famous people based on our first impressions and their public persona. I thought I would share comments from those who have met them. The source is Buzzfeed so expect entertainment rather than science. Though people claim to be speaking from their own experiences with celebrities, BuzzFeed can't confirm the validity of these stories.

"Prince came in once. His handlers ordered everything for him, and he didn't speak. They ordered way too much food, treating mains as samplers. He didn't even make eye contact, until the end that is, when he cocked his head slightly, looked at me with a looking-into-your-soul look and gave a slight head nod. He said, 'Wassup, I'm Prince, and you're alright.' Then he left a MASSIVE tip." Is this a bad review or a good one? Does the size of the tip make a difference?
I liked Prince already and this makes me like him even more.

"William Shatner. We offered him one of our private rooms, and he declined, stating he'd like to dine amongst the people. He then refused any request at meeting him by both customers and staff. I don't blame him for not wanting to be interrupted, but then (why not) take the private room? He was overall very rude." I must admit this review surprised me. What do you think of Shatner?
I liked Shatner already and this makes me like him even more.

"The biggest A-hole I've ever served, hands down, was Tim Allen. He was rude, condescending, and a terrible tipper." There is that reference to the size of the tip again. I must admit the only show I have seen Tim Allen in was The Santa Claus and I didn't like the movie. Based on the above review and the work Tim Allen has done, do you like him?
I liked Allen already and this makes me like him even more.
