So tonight I went out to Las Palmas in Hollywood located at 1638 N. Las Palmas Ave. after hitting up a couple other clubs. I bought three drinks from a skanky bleach blond bartender at the back bar. She gave me my receipt and it was  $40 with mandatory $8 tip added to the bill. I asked her why can’t I leave my own tip and she responded because that’s the way they do it. I asked her if there was a sign posted stating they add a mandatory 20% tip and of course she said no. She started getting bitchy. I said well can I get a managers business card. She said they don’t have any. I said I would have been more than happy to leave $5 if I can pay my own tip. She said the mandatory tip is on there because of people like you who want to leave your own tip. She then said that if I had such a big problem with it she would give me $3 dollars back from her own. I said sure. She then exploded and started telling me to leave and called security. I said you offered and now your telling me no and yelling because I’m asking you to not add an $8 mandatory tip to 3 drinks! I spoke to the manager and then she came barraling into the conversation cursing and getting all white girl ghetto loud because she knew she was wrong. She even tried to tell them to kick me out! Well bitch you are getting served. The manager apologized to me and I saw him take all the cocktail waitress girls in the back including the phsyco bitch and I think he was showing them the reciept and saying they were not allowed to add a mandatory tip and that customers are allowed to leave what they want. By the way it’s against the law! If you have been to Las Palmas and have a saved receipt and it says there is an automatic gratuity added to it send me a photo of it  HERE. I will get us all a lawyer that will fight them for fraud.

THEY ALSO DOUBLE CHARGED ME AND MADE MY BALANCE WAY HIGHER! ONLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED $40 TOTAL. ALSO I DID NOT GET A BREAK DOWN RECEIPT OF MY DRINKS OR TOLD HOW MUCH THEY WERE. TWO VODKA RED BULLS AND ONE BACARDI WITH DIET COKE.

Looks like I’m going to have to take them to small claims for the fraud they are doing. SEND ME YOUR RECEIPTS!

Thanks!

Hollywood Families, Friends and Businesses Used Their Hearts and Feet to Fight Cancer at American Cancer Society’s 2^nd Annual “Relay For Life of Hollywood”

On Saturday, August 7^th, 2010, 9:00 am, dedicated walkers went around the clock in the battle against cancer at the American Cancer Society’s 2^nd annual Relay For Life of Hollywood. Hosted by the American Cancer Society, along with 2010 Honorary Chair and LA City Council President, Eric Garcetti, and 2010 Honorary Co-Chair and City of West Hollywood Councilmember, Lindsey Horvath, the life-changing event raised funds to support the American Cancer Society’s patient services, critical cancer research, community education programs, and advocacy efforts.

The Relays are 24-hour, overnight events in homage to all the patients, survivors, caregivers, medical staff, families, and friends who battle cancer on a constant basis.

Over the two days, 300 cancer survivors, caregivers, and supporters congregated at the Helen Bernstein High School to celebrate the lives of those who triumphed over cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower each other to fight back against this terrible disease. With the support and fundraising efforts of these dedicated Relayers, the Hollywood Relay For Life was a hug success – raising over $30,000 to support the invaluable services of the American Cancer Society.

Emceed by Josie Lauren from the TV show “Make It Or Break It”, the Opening Ceremony featured heartening speeches from Senator Curren Price, Councilmember Horvath, Councilmember Tom LaBonge, and actor Philip Anthony-Rodriguez from the TV show “Secret Life of the American Teenager,” as well as from a young cancer survivor who told her inspirational story of strength, faith, and victory.

Clad in their purple Relay Survivor shirts, the cancer survivors then took to the track for the Survivors Lap, an emotional and joyous event that celebrated the courage of those who faced cancer and won. Upon completion of their lap, the survivors were awarded medals by celebrities Jake Pavelka, Philip Anthony-Rodriguez, HRH Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, Brandon Molale, Efren Ramirez, Jason Rosell, Nicole Malgarini, George Gray, Danny Arroyo and Gary Garver.

The rest of the event featured live performances by several bands, such as the CORE, games, and fun activities which motivated and entertained the Relayers throughout the day and into the night. In the evening, the Luminaria Ceremony featured candles bearing the names of cancer patients placed around the track – honoring and memorializing their lives. The event closed the next day with the upbeat Fight Back Ceremony, which urged the audience to continue the yearlong fight against cancer and to live a healthy, positive life with the agenda of reducing the risk of the cancer.

The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem, saving lives, diminishing suffering, and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Since 1913, the American Cancer Society has contributed over $3.2 billion toward cancer research. For more information, please visit www.cancer.org.
