193 linesOh, the baddest station in the land, that's the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Hello, I'm trying to reach Mr. Kenny.
Yeah, this is he.
How you doing?
I'm actually calling you from the seafood house.
You came and had, I waited on you, you came and had dinner over here the other night.
Yeah, about two nights ago.
Yeah, how was your food?
How was the service?
Everything was good.
I don't have any complaints. I always enjoy when I come here. I never got a phone call from you guys. Everything all right?
Yeah, everything's fine. I'm actually the guy that waited on you. I'm Roderick. I don't know if you remember me waiting on you, but I actually waited on you.
Oh, okay. How you doing?
I'm good. Would you say that my service was pretty good and up to par?
No complaints. Everything is good.
Okay, okay, good. Good deal, good deal.
Mr. Kenney, listen, if you don't mind me asking, man,
if you really thoroughly enjoyed the service as well as the food,
and I'm assuming you come here a lot,
so I'm assuming you really like the food that we put out.
If you don't mind, if I could ask you a question, if you don't mind.
Sure.
Okay, if the service was so good and you enjoyed everything,
You tipped me the way you did.
Excuse me?
Why did I do that?
I mean, you know, you didn't even tip even close to 10%, you know, of your amount that you bought, you know.
I would just...
First of all, let me ask you something, because I don't remember giving my phone number or writing my phone number down on any survey.
I've never taken a survey, nor have I gotten a call from you guys, so how did you get my phone number?
I'm just giving a courtesy call, and I'm just curious about, you know...
A courtesy call, okay, that's fine.
But how did you...
You didn't answer my question.
How did you get my phone number?
Because I didn't give it to anybody there.
So you've done something to obtain my number.
Well, I went on and done the research of what it took to get a number.
So, yeah, I did.
You know, it was just bothering me that you tipped me the way you did.
Well, it's bothering me that you're calling me in the middle of the day asking me about a tip.
How much did you say I tipped you?
I got a $5 tip, and your meal was at least $80-something-plus.
Now, you've done all this research, and you got the wrong number.
You got the wrong damn number, because, first of all, I tip more than $5.
I used to work for tips, bro.
So let me explain that to you.
I used to work for tips, and I know what it's like.
And then $5 is, no, you got the wrong table.
You done all this research for nothing.
Kenny, I waited on you.
I'm Kenny, but damn it, you don't got the wrong Kenny,
because Kenny don't tip no damn $5.
When I go, I ball, baby.
I go to the people out because I want to entertain my people.
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't have time.
Okay, but see, the problem I'm having, Mr. Kenny,
is you bringing your people and you want to ball and everything,
but you balling with them, but you shortchanging the waystab.
I ain't shortchanging it.
Damn, look, you complaining about $5.
I don't tip no damn phone.
That's what I give you $5 for.
I don't tip no damn $5, bro.
I got plenty of money.
I got plenty of money.
I don't need you to call me, tell me how to damn tip.
I told you, man, I used to work for tips.
I don't need you to call me.
You would think that if you were somebody that worked for some tips,
that you would know how to come in and tip somebody at least 15%, man.
I can't even understand how you come in, you ball,
and you brought a couple people with you, and you leave me with $5.
Look here, man, I need you.
I ain't leave you with no $5, man.
I left at least $25 up in that thing.
Because I was hosting some people, and I wanted to show my gratitude for something.
And you calling me about the wrong damn tip amount and the wrong person.
You done got the wrong person.
I ain't got the wrong person.
You missed it, Kenneth Samuels.
I remember waiting on you and two other people when you came in there.
Wasn't you in there with two other people?
Man, who the hell are you?
How do you know all my damn business anyway?
Who the hell are you?
The only way we can really rectify this, won't you do this, man?
Won't you come back up here and bring me the tip that I deserve?
I ain't coming no damn where.
I told you.
Matter of fact, when I come up there again, I'm going to look for your ***.
You give me your name, and you give me your manager name.
Because matter of fact, I'm going to call up there and come up there today
because I don't appreciate you calling my damn phone about some *** tip.
And I know good and damn well I took good money.
Okay, well, do this for me.
