A bitchy Britney Spears left bad taste in the mouth of wait staffers at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles where the pop star recently spent several nights.

“She’s been really demanding,” one employee grumbles in this week’s edition of The National Enquirer.

“She always wants specific tables, and when someone is sitting where she wants to be, she kicks them out of their seats. And she doesn’t tip well!”

“These reports are completely false,” the pop star’s publicist insists. “Britney could not be more genial to the staff at the Peninsula.”
