A Beverly Hills waiter just got fired from his job for tweeting about his celebrity clients.  Jon-Barret Ingels worked as a waiter at the Barney Greengrass in Beverly Hills for five years until last week when he was fired for tweeting about the restaurant’s celebrity clients.   Because of the restaurant’s proximity to major talent agencies in LA, actors regularly dined in the restaurant.  Ingels was used to serving celebrities and tweeting about them.  Unfortunately, he learned that not all celebrities appreciate the additional social media exposure, especially is the publicity isn’t exactly positive.

According to a report posted on the Brand X website, Ingels was fired because he tweeted about Jane Adams skipping her restaurant bill. Jane Adams reportedly pulled a “dine and dash” from the restaurant, skipping her bill that amounted to $13.44.  According to Ingels, after being served the bill, Jane Adams fumbled through her purse and blurted, “I left my wallet in my car!” Adams supposedly left the restaurant to get her wallet from her car but didn’t return.

According to Ingel’s blog, Adam’s agent called the restaurant one or two days later and offered to pay the bill saying Adams was out of town.  The agent paid the bill but stiffed on the tip. That’s when Ingels decided to tweet about the incident: “Jane Adams, star of HBO series ‘Hung’ skipped out on a $13.44 check. Her agent called and payed the following day. NO TIP!!!”

According to online reports, Ingels was fired for tweeting about actress Jane Adams

A few days later Adams returned to the restaurant and gave Ingels his $3 tip claiming her friend had read the tweet. Soon after that, Ingels tweeted positive things about Adams but it seems the damage has already been done. Ingels was fired two weeks after the incident. The Barney Greengrass management supposedly received various complaints from their clients about Ingels’ tweets including one from Adams.
