As many a successful financier can attest, amassing immense wealth does not protect one from having to interact with inferior beings. Never more is this unfortunate reality on display than when one deals with the food services industry, and waitstaff who don’t know their ass from their elbow. Whether it’s a matter of meals not being brought out hastily, failing to provide a good enough answer to the question of which entree they’d choose, or refilling the water glasses with a look on their face, it just never ends with these people, does it? While some are content to say nothing when confronted by these subpar beings and their subpar service, others realize that to ignore the issue is to do a disservice both to themselves and those needing the err of their ways called out. Bill Gross, for instance, leaves negative tips for waitresses he deems not up to snuff. Mitt Romney would (probably) fire them. For his part, private equity veteran John Castle chooses to be a bit more direct.
From a Palm Beach police report:
On January 8, 2011 at 10:11 p.m., I responded to the Palm Beach Police Department in reference to a complaint in the lobby. I met with the complainant, Paul Kucik, w/m, dob: 11-24-1954 of 2413 NW 7th Street, Boynton Beach FL. Kucik stated that he was a waiter at Club Colette located at 215 Peruvian Avenue and on the night of January 7, 2012 at approximately 9:00 p.m., he was physically assaulted by a club member known to him as John Castle, who is approximately in his mid 70`s age. Kucik stated that Mrs. Castle requested that Kucik bring her their dinner bill. Kucik stated that when he returned to the Castles` dinner table, Mrs. Castle instructed him to give the bill to her husband, John Castle who was seated across the dinner table from her.
Kucik stated that he attempted to hand Mr. Castle the bill and Mr. Castle became irate with him and yelled, “You schmuck, why did you bring the bill to the table?” Kucik stated that he replied, “because your lady asked for it.” Kucik stated while he stood on the left side of Mr. Castle, he (Kucik) attempted to hand Mr. Castle an ink pen. Mr. Castle began ranting and grabbed Kucik`s left hand and began squeezing and twisting his fingers. Kucik stated that Mr. Castle had a very tight grip of his left hand and Kucik had to pull his left hand out of Mr. Castle`s grasp. Kucik stated he was not certain which hand Mr. Castle grabbed his left hand with, but he believed Mr. Castle used his right hand. Kucik stated that he immediately notified his employer of the incident, but no action was taken. Kucik stated he began experiencing pains in his fingers as a result of Mr. Castle`s actions. Kucik stated that on January 8, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., he went to the M.D. Walk-In Clinic located on Lantana Road. Kucik stated an X-Ray of his fingers indicated that his left ring finger was broken.
For those who think Castle’s treatment of the waiter was unfair, know that he was teaching Kucik the sort of life lesson he frequently offers to anyone who needs it. For instance, just the other day he shoved a D battery up the ass of a greeter at Radio Shack who asked if he was looking for anything and earlier in the week, he made certain the paper boy who moronically put the Journal on the porch rather than the front walk will not be bearing children without serious medical intervention. No one gets a free pass.

Good lord, I saw that picture and expected an article about NAMBLA.

Why is that guy raping me with his eyes? I need to take a shower. I feel so so dirty.
Holy shit, yeah he does. Though Monty would have had the waiter's arm ripped out of the socket…but he would never touch one of the masses.
this is what i imagine nervousjew looking like were he king of the mole people
This guy is one of the most awkward people I've met in this business.
- guy who usually tries to post funny comments but there's nothing funny about having to deal with JC.
Tell us more..
Don't these guys pitch themselves as restaurant specialists? I guess that's why my waiter at Morton's looked so scared the other day.
What a spectacular schnoz…
Move a little to the left. A little more. Now a little to the right. Excellent [opens floor trap]
awful, just awful……………………… that i can't stop laughing at this
"Kucik stated an X-Ray of his fingers indicated that his left ring finger was broken"
Dude is strong for a "mid 70s" guy.
Old man Strength….
Being a 57 year old waiter is the NKI?
58 year old waiter as well? Oh…sorry…forgot about the economy. Now I know where the former real estate execs must be.
or perhaps the 57 year old waiter was exceptionally brittle.
Big fan of the 'arm around' or placing a hand on the forearem while speaking with someone who he doesn't know well enough to pull it off. Which would be tolerable except for the fact that I've never met someone whose personality so closely matches his face.
Mommy, the penis is smiling at me.
When real life Jack in the Box takes off his pointy hat don't expect any modicum of decorum up in here.
He makes me nervous.
Worst comment yet. Does it hurt being you?
Impostor!
I wonder if Mr. Castle's reaction may have had something to do with the two steak sandwiches, two portions of caviar, Lobstor Thermidor, and two bottles of Dom Perignon I charged to his account.

That comment doesn't fit to your history of comments.
But did he tune up the valet afterwards?
I'v got a BONER!
Johnny went easy on this guy. First of all, the waiter brought a Petrus Pomerol '98 merlot to pair with the filet mignon, when any amateur knows that Clos des Papes 2007 cabernet is the obvious choice. Next the waiter put ice in his San Pellegrino. To top it all off? The waiter made eye contact with John. The guy is lucky he got the standard, gentleman's 30% tip.
Not a lot of positive feedback here….I apologize if I insulted your fathers.
-Luke Weill
Pretty sure the Clos des Papes is a Chateauneuf du Pape, therefore not a cabernet. The Petrus is also a few grand more per bottle.
And yes, I hate myself for writing this.
You are correct, its a blended wine. Some kind of Rhone or red blend.
And I hate myself more for wasting company time to look up something so meaningless.
I guess being less than one generation removed from working in the garments district allows you to act like you are Mayflower material.
~not being racist just pointing out the obvious
Not meaningless if you ever have to entertain clients.
I hate all three of you guys.
- Ultimat Vodka Advertising VP
Can't speak for Stan Gable or JP Morgan, but I get that a lot.
Plus, J Castle is known to favor Santorum over Sam Pelegrino.
And I thought I was a prick for shoving a $100 down a waiter's throat..
Is 30% the standard gentleman tip these days? I thought 20% was still kosher..
I just worry about whether there is a cork, plastic cork or twist off cap.
I was thinking duck billed platypus..
Guy how once had an account that was called, " man love investments "
( he was european, last name love )
you should draw comics, give up this damn raquet we wallow in
don't
keep hope alive perma…
I prefer mine with a plastic spigot and a box around it.
All star suite?
sweet. does it come in a box in the event that i have many clients to entertain?

Here's his firm's website: http://www.castleharlan.com/news/default.cfm
They HAD $3.5 billion under management, according to their 11/10/11 press release. Funds may be withdrawn IMMEDIATELY though. Investors don't like to keep their money with men who engage in criminal behavior. Whether or not Mr. Castle ends up being charged, the ORP (ordinary, reasonable and prudent) thing to do when you discover the head of your private equity firm behaves like a criminal with subordinates is to get your money back PRONTO.
PE funds = no withdrawls.
