As many of you know, there are a lot of Jewish people in the city. Many of them are good friends of mine, but at the same time I have seen SOOOO many examples of Jews being mega cheap. In very embarrassing ways. I have seen: Jews do whatever they could to not put in the amount they owed on a group bar tab. Jews not tip at a bar or restaurant (many many times). Jews go out of their way to haggle over $1 with shop keepers. In college I had often seen Jews fill their book bags with food from the college cafeteria all you can eat section. One got called out by an administrator and continued to do the same thing the next day. (Fill book bag with apples, etc.) Jewish friends shared a cab with me but only put in $4 toward the $25 ride. They threw the money at me and then ran out. I was at a birthday lunch a few weeks back. Everyone owed $10 toward the food and then money toward their own drinks. We also wanted to pay for the birthday girl. A Jewish guy in the group was there with his girlfriend. She only had the food and a cup of tea ($10 + $2 for tea + $3 tip = $15). She left $20 (She had to go early so she gave her Jewish boyfriend $20, $5 toward the birthday girl). When he paid, he only paid $15 for her and pocketed the $5 extra! This guy makes $80k per year. Jewish person at a bar with some friends and I took 20 minutes to decide between his favorite wine for $8 per glass or another wine for $7. He went through the process of asking the bartender why one cost $1 more than the other. After arguing with the bartender for 20 minutes he finally ordered the cheaper one he didn't like. Just to save $1!!! He didn't tip. A Jew asked how much it would be to add an egg to his dinner. It cost $1 more. He argued with the waiter about how eggs only cost like 10 cents. He eventually got frustrated and didn't order anything. Over $1!! It goes on and on. Cheap clothes. etc. One Jewish friend has no TV, no cable, no internet (steals from neighbor) a 8+ year old laptop, lives in a dump, grills on a 20 year old grill he found in his backyard when he moved in, never brings gifts to parties, always eats as much as he can when people go in together on something. It is crazy. I don't mind much if a Jew is being cheap in a way that only hurts him/herself, such as living in a dump in Brooklyn. But when they try to Jew people down, it is embarrassing. Especially when they make fine money. It is like a game with many of them: Who can Jew the most money out of others. Who can be the cheapest? The question is: Why are Jews so damn cheap? Signed: Curious Dear Curious: Having been raised along with my twin sister in a Jewish household, I can unequivocally state that cheapness is in the Jew DNA. We can't help ourselves. Abby
