Bieber Leaves $400 Tip at Atlanta Club, But Was it Enough?
Justin Bieber and his entourage reportedly enjoyed over $1,500 of free booze before the pop star left his two waitresses a controversial tip
ATLANTA, GA -- Pop star Justin Bieber again stirred controversy when he visited an Atlanta nightclub after a performance last week, a report claims.
Instead of starting a fight or taking a picture with a girl who looks remotely similar to Kourtney Kardashian, The Biebs made waves by leaving a good-but-maybe-not-so-good tip to the two waitresses assigned to him and his entourage, TMZ says.

Bieber and his entourage were comped two bottles of Don Julio 1942, one bottle each of Grey Goose and Jack Daniels, and $25 worth of beer, according to TMZ. All told, TMZ reports the bar tab would have been $1,600 had it not been on the house.
Respecting the fine American tradition of tipping after good service, TMZ says that Bieber left a $400 tip to the two waitresses. A $400 tip on $1,600 worth of booze comes out to a 25 percent gratuity, definitely within the acceptable range.

However, that $400 tip was split between the two waitresses, TMZ reports. Each waitress went home with just a 12.5 percent tip, causing some people to accuse Bieber of being cheap.
