Beyonce and Jay-Z Don’t Even Know the Meaning of the Word ‘Recession’

B and J: The 1700 Dollar Lunch

I don’t know about you, but this recession has taught me one thing: If it costs more than five dollars, I can’t afford to eat it. This has forced me to eat many meals at my local taco truck and lots and lots of steamed broccoli (great fiber, you guys), but honestly it hasn’t been that bad. Until today, anyway. That’s when I saw that Bey and Jay are going out and spending 1200 bones on a mid-day meal and leaving behind 500 dollar tips. Damn! Just the thought of that makes me want to go splurge on a seven dollar sandwich and get as crazy as my idols. Pics of the couple dining with who I assume are business partners below…

    Damn! I need to be a waitress in Hollywood! Imagine getting $500 tips on a regular basis.

      Yeah but that isn’t all celebs. I have found that the people with the most money can be some of the biggest scrooges when it comes to tipping… they are so far removed from the service industry.

    Well they only eat twice a week so I guess it’s really not that swank and unusual.

    They worked their asses off for it. Talented or not, they deserve it.
