Woman Leaves Unsuspecting Waitress a $1,000 Tip

by Khushbu Shah


It was on a $15.61 check.

That band of merry mega tippers TipsForJesus have some serious competition: The Arizona Republic writes that a server at a restaurant in Colorado received a $1,000 tip this week. A woman dining alone at the Route 6 Café left the money on a on a $15.61 check making it a 6,406 percent tip.

The woman — who asked not to be identified — also left the server a note that read, "I have waited for the right person since seeing this on FB, and you rock." The mega tipper tells the paper that "someone on Facebook shared a story about paying it forward, so she decided to do the same." Perhaps it was the story of the couple who left a 150 percent tip despite encountering horrible service.

The server says the tip comes at a time where she really needs money: Her car had recently broken down and she will use the money towards repairs.

it must feel good to be able to do something like this, expecting nothing in return. Hell, I felt good when I gave a homeless guy a couple bucks last week (all I had on me at the time).
