Post Dispatches Guidos, Nerds to Get Rejected At Clubs

The guido, nerd, "nerdette," cougar, suburban dad and a "Jersey girl" hit the streets in the most outlandishly cliche attire imaginable. Seriously, look at the Post's photos.

Waitress Suing 1OAK Over Alleged Tip Withholding

Waitress Suing 1OAK Over Alleged Tip Withholding

A former cocktail waitress at exclusive nightclub 1OAK is filing a class-action suit against the establishment today, claiming she was screwed out of tips along with other workers. Tarale Wulff, 33, says 1OAK tacks a 20 percent "service charge" onto their $450-and-up bottle service, misleading patrons into thinking they were "gratuities paid to the service workers." Instead, "a percentage [is] distributed to nonservice employees, such as doormen," according to court papers obtained by the Post. Wulff, who was fired last month after a dispute involving a customer's expired credit card, is suing for unspecified damages. Two years ago 1OAK was sued by four former employees, all minorities, who claimed club owner Scott Sartiano only wanted "white girls he could f---" serving drinks. more ›

Life Not All Rainbows for Chauffer Who Crossed Young Cipriani

Life Not All Rainbows for Chauffer Who Crossed Young Cipriani

Restaurateurs the Cipriani family are no strangers to running on the wrong side of the law and now it appears that their next generation is ready to step in and carry on their troublesome traditions. 20-year-old Ignazio Cipriani and a friend were arrested for third-degree assault after sucker-punching a limo driver outside of Chelsea nightclub 1Oak. The young Cipriani had been drunkenly raising a ruckus when he was denied admission and soon decided to target the driver. After hitting the ground once he got clocked, the chauffer tells the Post, "My head was part way under a car, and I opened one eye and saw two guys kicking me." A lawyer for Cipriani told the press, "This is nothing more than a group of young people pushing and shoving in front of a nightclub. We don't see a crime here at all." The 10ak was last in the news over the summer for tossing unwanteds from the club—specifically employees who claimed they were fired because the owner "only wanted white girls working there." more ›

1OAK Owners Accused of Firing Unsexy, Non-White Servers

Four former employees of pretentious Chelsea nightclub 1OAK (the name stands for 'one of a kind') filed a lawsuit against club owners Thursday in Manhattan Federal court, the Daily News reports. Lawyers say the four minority workers – three female waitresses and one male bartender – were terminated because club owner Scott Sartiano only wanted "white girls he could f---" serving drinks, or so they were told by a manager, who allegedly elaborated, "Scott has a thing about Asians, he wants all white girls." In June, 1OAK owners denied trying to hush up a gay-bashing incident that allegedly transpired in the club bathroom, and it's also where Lindsay Lohan goes to steal clothes. In this latest bit of bad press, the club's lawyer explains that "these disgruntled employees were fired for their poor work performance in addition to four other Caucasian employees that were fired that same week." (For not putting out.) more ›
