Les Moonves understands the value of good service, except when he only has $100 bills on him.
The CBS president and CEO recently suffered an embarrassing snafu when he found himself without any bills he deemed small enough to tip a valet with after Sumner Redstone’s birthday party. Even worse, the cringe-worthy moment was caught on camera by Leave My Name Out LA last week.
In video of the incident, the television exec can be seen picking up his car outside of Vibrato Restaurant in Bel Air, Calif., when he realizes he doesn’t have anything under a $100 bill.
“S—t, I only have $100 bills,” he says after checking his wallet.
The red-faced realization is followed by an awkward pause before the disappointed valet tells him not to worry about it. “I’ll get you next time,” the exec promises before getting in his car.
In 2013, Moonves was the second-highest-paid CEO in America, making $65.4 million, according to Business Insider.
A rep for the CBS head didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
