A waiter claims he was fired after complaining on Twitter that actress Jane Adams failed to leave him a tip.
一名服務生宣稱他遭到開除，在他上Twitter抱怨女演員珍．亞當斯沒有給他小費之後。
It is the latest warning of the dangers of indiscreet tweeting. The 31-year-old waiter Jon-Barrett Ingels says that the dispute began when Adams left the restaurant after a lunch one day during this summer without paying her bill. He claims that she failed to return after saying that she needed to fetch her chequebook from the car.
這是輕率發表推文的最新警訊。這名31歲服務生英格斯說，爭議始於今夏某日亞當斯在餐廳吃了午餐後，沒付錢就離開。他宣稱她當時說她需要去車上拿支票簿，但卻一去不回。
The actress’s agent arrived to pick up the tab the next day, but did not pay the 15-20 per cent service charge , prompting Ingels to Tweet： "Jane Adams, star of HBO series ’Hung’ skipped out on a $13.44 check. Her agent called and payed the following day. NO TIP!!!"
隔天這名演員的經紀人來付錢，但沒給15%到20%的服務費，促使英格斯在Twitter上寫出「珍．亞當斯，HBO『大器晚成』影集明星，沒付13.44美元帳單就跑了。他的經紀人隔天付了錢，沒給小費!!!」
Ingels says Adams read his light-hearted tweet and returned to the restaurant herself several weeks later to hand him the $3 he believed he was owed.
英格斯說，亞當斯看到他隨口說說的推文，數週後親自回到餐廳，給他他自認被欠下的3美元。
But the waiter was sacked shortly afterwards. His bosses told him they had received a number of complaints about his behaviour, including one from Adams.
但是這名服務生不久後就被解雇，他的老闆告訴他，他們收到一些人抱怨他的行為，其中一人是亞當斯。
