$10,000 Tip
In Hutchinson, Kansas, an Applebee’s bartender named Cindy Kienow received a $10,000 tip on a $26 dollar bill. The customer was a regular at the Applebee’s and left Cindy the tip on his credit card. As a bartender, you have the opportunity to meet a lot of regulars that come in and to apparently have a major impact on somebody’s life. Kienow believed that the customer was just happy that she spent the time to talk with him and get to know him.
After the restaurant verified the charge and taxes were taken out, Kienow received a check for $6,300. Kienow has worked for Applebee’s for over 8 years and her loyalty has apparently paid off. Kienow says that she got the impression that her customer wanted her to buy herself something special and she is considering buying a Jeep that she had been thinking about.
