Manhattan lawyer Richatd Katz sues spa over free breakfast

[meegbear]

A Manhattan lawyer wants over a half-million dollars from an exclusive downtown gym for failing to feed him a proper breakfast.

Personal injury attorney Richard Katz said he sued Setai Club & Spa Wall Street Tuesday after he was kicked out for complaining about the decline of the complimentary meal they bragged about.

“It was a full-blown hotel breakfast,” said Katz, 53, who lives in the West Village with his wife. “I’d go to the gym in the morning, have a spa and a nice quiet breakfast and do some work — they mucked it all up.”

He re-upped his membership after being told that problems with the meal were only temporary.

12. Naaa, just one that thinks he's a 1%. if he were a 1%'er, he would have bought the club...

fired everyone then sold it's the name to china. Then claim his hands were tied.

This guy is just an arrogant prick with a false sense of self entitlement and a colossally misplaced sense of priorities.

Hell, he could probably call and have it delivered wherever he happens to be.

guy who sued a White Castle in NY because the booths weren't large enough for his 290 pound frame. No he was a stockbroker but maybe they're related. Does pomposity run in families?
