A poster claims a group of OpenAI people racked up a $500 tab at a neighborhood bar and tipped less than $20, enraging bartenders who say it's the third time. The quoter argues most diners would pay $600-650 without blinking — people go out to have fun, not to make real-time decisions about someone's take-home pay, hence tipping screens. A classic AI-industry culture anecdote.
