The 1 Percent Tip

In February 2012, when there was still quite a lot of heat surrounding Occupy Wall Street and contempt was high for the 1 percent, a story was released across several major news outlets that further incensed everyone who had already more than had it with the richest of the rich in the U.S. The story ran with an image that depicted a receipt from a lunch out at restaurant, with a 1 percent tip and a note saying "Get a real job!" The tip had reportedly been left by a bank executive, but it was later revealed by the restaurant that the image with the insultingly low tip had been doctored and was inaccurate.
