Bartender Gets $10,000 Tip
When I read news like this, I wonder why it never happens to me... 
The guy tipped her US$100 in the past and she hardly knows the guy and now the guy gives her US$10,000!

| HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - Two weeks ago, one of Cindy Kienow's regular customers left her a $100 tip on a tab that wasn't even half that. This week, he added a couple of zeros. Kienow, a bartender at Applebee's, got a $10,000 tip from the man _ for a $26 meal _ on Sunday. "I couldn't move," Kienow said. "I didn't know what to say. He said, `This will buy you something kind of nice, huh?' And I said, `Yeah, it will.'" Kienow said the man, whom company officials have declined to name, comes in several times a month and eats at the end of the bar. He has always tipped well, she said, usually leaving $15 on a $30 tab. Then came the $100 tip, followed by the real shocker. "He usually signs his ticket and flips it upside down," said Kienow, 35, who has worked at the restaurant for eight years. "But this time, he had it right-side up and said `I want you to know this is not a joke.'" It's not, company officials agreed. |

Like Valla, the first thing I thought was he wants a night(s) around the town, but maybe there are such generous people in the world, and if so, I would like to meet them!

I'm not sure I could have accepted it! That would have been very weird. See, I would have thought the previous high tipping was suspect. That $100 I would have figured was for "special service" beyond the restaurant. But $10,000? That's crazy. If he had left it anonymously, that's one thing; but he made sure she knew and the company knew that he was the benefactor. I wouldn't be surprised to hear in the news a few weeks from now that the whole thing has turned sour.
Of course, that's just my cynical opinion.
