Victoria Beckham may not have quite acclamated to life in L.A. yet, but you would think that tipping is a international courtesy.  Victoria has been in L.A. less than a month and has already pissed of a waitress at the Mondrian Hotel’s Asia de Cuba where she had lunch with her BFF, Katie Holmes this week and did not leave a tip. Nary a dime.

katie and victoria no tip

Maybe waitresses in the U.K. are a litte more gentile, but in L.A. they are all struggling actresses/models and don’t care for skinnier than they are British chicks with loads of international soccer money that don’t leave good tips. The waitress ran after Vics but was stopped by her security guards. We hope that Vics just got sidetracked and caught up in girl talk with Katie or thought the tip was already added in. We’d hate for her to get a ‘cheap’ rep right off the bat.
But according to the Baltimore Sun, Victoria and Katie, who was said to have paid the bill, left without leaving a tip. And when the indignant waitress tried to run after the pair, she was prevented by Victoria’s security team.

Hardly the crime of the century, but probably not the best move to incur the ire of the US public just yet.
