A tale of two actors: Johnny Depp and a friend went to the Vivoli Italian restaurant on Sunset awhile back and ordered two dinners – around $50 worth of food – to go. “He couldn’t have been nicer. He chatted with all the waiters and was friendly to everyone. ” Johnny REALLY impressed his server when he tipped him $50. Weeks later Keanu Reeves walked into the restaurant with the same companion that Johnny’d been with, and THEY ordered two meals to go. “Keanu was polite but he kept to himself – he wasn’t as sociable as Johnny.” And the funny thing is, Keanu walked out without tipping AT ALL!

Are you obligated to tip on take out?
no, not obligated to tip at all when you take out. But, now they are trying to FORCE you to tip on take out. And most people who don’t earn millions of dollars can afford to tip $50.
I wonder how much Janet tips when she does take out?
I don’t tip on take out orders? Am I a heel? The tip jar is everwhere now. Even Starbucks-screw that!!!
I never tip when I get food to go but that was sweet of Johnny.
I always tip, even on take-out. Karma.
OOOOH JOHNNY I LOOOVE YOU! U R SO SEXY OMG!!! HAHA
ISN’T HE SEXY, GIRLS AND GUYS? MMMHMMM…HE’S SO SWEET! WTH IS WRONG WITH TIPPING PPL! HE ISN’T STINGY AT LEAST! HEHEHEHE!!! YAY! SO GIVING! AND AWWW I LOOOOOOOVEE HIM SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

LOL..wth i can hear christman songs on tv, but it isn’t even december yet? wth…? lol…JJOOHHNNNNYY!! YAY!
GO U ROCKER!
MWA! ;D
That must have been a very long while back, as Keanu’s been in New York for weeks now.
And it doesn’t sound like Keanu either, if you go to the sites like bitterwaitress.com, he’s never been mentioned as stringy.
Maybe someone/something annoyed Keanu – or maybe he wasn’t the one to pay for the food?
you are right Keanu is well known as a big tipper. I don’t think he paid. He’s all about the karma. Look at how he tipped the crew of the matrix. and the bar keep when he was just in london or whales I forget but he has always been a big tipper
wow, johnny is very generous, i have no idea keanu was like that =/
Thanks for letting not only me know which places to avoid at all cost in the future – because they feel the need to blab!
Expecting tips for takeout!!!
… and really, how old are your news then, Ms Charlton, if you publish something like this incident now – when at least one of the people mentioned has been out of town for quite a while?
johnny was in a good mood that particular day, had a pleasant conversation with much chumming up by the cashier, he felt obligated to give a little thank you nod.
I’ll agree that I’m not going to patronise this particular place again if I’m being gossiped about after I leave.
Time for a new staff, maybe?
Johnny Depp is UGLY
You don’t tip on take out, how stupid is this? Keanu tips very very well otherwise. Someone just wants to make him look bad.
Uh oh… this post got linked to a Keanu fansite.
Get ready for an invasion of angry freaks.
I never do and never will tip on a take-out order. Neither should Keneau or anyone else. Give me a break.
I tip for service. And good service. I don’t tip for the “privilege” of taking my food home. Or for standing in line for a Starbucks. Or for…
Alot of people dont tip for take out. sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t.Keanu is known for being a good tipper and it’s sad state of affairs when a so called gossip mag doesn’t even tell the whole story.It doesn’t say if Depp had the dinner in the restaurant or not or what really happened like maybe the service was extremely slow or the order had to be redone because of mistakes. I have had that happen quite a bit with take out and no, I would tip for that at all. sounds to me like Ms. Charlton is holding a grudge against Mr. Reeves and is using this to hurt his reputation, if it even happened at all, which is a strong possibility.Enough is enough, leave him alone.If you can’t say anything nice ,keep your mouth shut.Words from a wise mother, mine.
Yes it does. It says Depp ordered 2 dinners to go.
LOL about the angry freaks from the Keanu sites…I may be a freak but I am not angry…:)
It’s a way to start the tipping dialog going…I guess.
I believe it is well known that Keanu’s a great tipper
Keanu was very nice when I met him last year…and then very cold when I met him again this summer. First time: his eyes were so full of light it blew me away; Second time: his eyes were so dark it saddened me harshly. Who knows? Maybe he was in a “dark” mood?!
well hey i will cook for johnny i can use the tip. seriously ,, i am a good cook.
you know what keanu might just been in one of those cheap moods that day. sometimes it gets like that. did i say that.. oh i forgot i am not rich!!
