I accidentally came across this web site that lists the best and worst celebrity tippers. Stevie is listed in the "saints" column.

It's a nice story too. Twenty-two, eh?

Stevie Nicks (of Fleetwood Mac), at chart house in Scottsdale AZ came in in a black cape thingy, no one noticed who she was at first, cape thing over her head. She's with guy who looks about 22. She's at the hostess stand, all the waiters are like "oh god don't put those freaks in my section"....they were quite a site. both in total black. anyway they put her in a dark table in my section. **** I'm thinking these people will be weird. I go to approach the table with that well known waiter feeling of "just fake the smile and make it through"...I'm just at the table ready to take cocktail order and I realize. ITS STEVIE NICKS (I love Fleetwood Mac). well she's the coolest chick...pretty mellow. They ordered like crab cakes and then filet mignons or something. The dude seemed nervous, like it was their first date....anyway halfway through the crab cakes she says "can you just wrap those steaks? I got to go to this party and if I don't make this party they'll kill me." I say absolutely, obviously, thinking the whole time, these steaks are like $32 a piece and they're going to rot in the car. Well she tipped on the full bill about 20%....if you ever get her in your section, it will be a pleasant experience. I believe she lives in Scottsdale AZ.

The hardest thing for me would be not to ask for a picture with her. Of course I know I'd IMMIDEATELY be fired.

Off topic just a bit. I saw O.J Simpson is in the scum section. Well, that's no surprise to me. He's gotta pay all that money to the Goldmans and Nicole's family. Oh wait, he doesnt.

Yeah, but I heard she really doesnt like doing that. Taking pictures with fans in an uncontrolled setting. Then it would suck if you got not pic and got canned!

I like this story: I was serving breakfast & was quite busy one morning. I work at a very nice resort hotel. Well, I had a nice unassuming couple at one of my tables. The gentleman seemed very familiar but all through breakfast I could not place him. Finally as I was taking his plate I realized he was cigarette man from X-files. (I am a huge X-files fan). He saw the recognition on my face & just nodded & put his fingers to his lips with a shhhhh & a smile.

I returned the smile & allowed him to continue his nice quiet breakfast.

He left 20%.

And I got a cool little thrill.

I could've SWORN I saw William B Davis here at a variety store (of all places) about four or five years ago. XF had just ended, and I was still an obsessive fan, so you could imagine how much it excited me. He doesn't smoke in real life, though, does he? anyone know? I remember reading somewhere that he'd quit in the 70s. Either it was him, or it was an extreme coincidence, but this guy bore a real resemblance to him... and he smiled at me and lit a cig when he got into his car.

For some reason some of the folks on the "scum" list don't surprise me...except did ya notice that Don Henley is on there? He IS getting a bit crotchety these days

um, plz! i can't believe you never told meee! no, dude, he doesn't smoke. all those cigs he smoked on the show were herbal. dude, if he smiled at you and lit a cig while sitting in his car ... that's so xf! he's such a sinister bastard. i love him.

oh, and what the hell is a variety store? is that like a dollar store?

StreetAngel86 · #11 06-18-2006, 03:52 AM

Um... since when did a 20% tip become something unusually generous? Isn't that pretty much the minimum that one would tip in a restaurant with good service? With la Nicks's kind of money, if for no other reason than the fact that she was not hassled by any patrons or staff, I think she could have done better than 20%.

Also, off-topic, but why oh why does she continue to eat such unhealthy stuff like crab cakes and filet minon... at the same sitting! I mean, what would the AZ Heart Institute think? And is it any wonder she struggles with her weight? I burn a candle hoping that one day she discovers the glory of tofu, seitan and lentils.

BlackWidow · #13 06-18-2006, 10:10 AM

This sounds off to me...
What if it wasn't her..just some groovy hippie chick..and they go.."It must be Stevie Nicks" I don't think Stevie goes out with 22 year olds..

I believe the first time I read that anecdote, was around 1995/96 when I first started using the internet at a friend's house.
It's definitely not detailing a recent event.

Oh, and if I have a choice between filet mignon or seitan steaks? Guess which one I'm going for!

Um, I totally told you!! I even made a post about it at the OS, I'm sure of it. I should go find it. Herbal? I thought so. But it was so totally like him!!!
I was with Jenn, and I tried to get her attention subtely, but he saw. He probably thought we were staring at him for another reason.

You've never heard of variety stores? Like... convenience stores?
