Positivity: Quite a Tip
A man left a tip that was quite a bit larger than what Emily Post or Miss Manners would say is necessary for satisfactory service (HT S.O.B. Alliane member Weapons of Mass Discussion in an e-mail - saying this came in handy in light of other goings-on is an understatement). It seems especially appropriate to post on St. Patrick’s Day, as the beneficiary’s surname is Irish:
Waitress Tipped $1,000
March 8, 2006A restaurant customer in Roanoke, Virginia gives new meaning to the phrase “big tipper.”
That’s because they left one-thousand dollars, to cover a 26-dollar check.
Nineteen-year-old waitress Amanda Newkirk found the tip yesterday and at first thought it was a joke.
Then, a local bank confirmed the money was real. Newkirk says she doesn’t know the customer, but is so grateful for the money.
She’s due to give birth in May, and says the money will be put to good use.
