From the department of they are going too far. A waiter was attacked by a CEO for the audacity of bringing the check to the table. I guess the thought of paying his bill in front of the other CEO's was too much for him and he snapped.
John Castle, the 76-year-old CEO of the Castle Harlan equity firm, could be facing charges after a waiter at the posh Palm Beach, Florida establishment Club Colette made claims that Castle went berserk after he brought him the check.
Instead of requesting the manager or just ignoring the perceived slight. The sociopath CEO attacked the waiter.
According to a police report filed by Kucick, Castle became enraged upon receiving the check and asked the server, “You schmuck, why did you bring the bill to the table?”
It didn’t stop there.
The report reads that Castle then gripped the hand of Kucik, and then began “squeezing and twisting” his fingers, “and only stopped when Mr. Kucik freed himself from the tight grip.”
Mr. Kucik complained to his employers, who shrugged off the incident. When the pain continued, he sought medical attention and later learned from a x-ray that Castle’s attack had rendered his left ring finger broken.
Palm Beach police say they are investigating the incident, but neither party has offered statements outside of the official report. In it, Mr. Kucik insists that Castle’s wife requested the check.
I wonder what he would do at a self serve pay ahead restaurant?

Do all Predatory Capitalists eat there and break fingers of poor Waiters?
