Bar Patrons Ask to Pay Their Bill in The Private Office; Server Soon Sees Why

Disbelief

But the owner, bartender, and chef at the Blue4 restaurant on Connecticut Avenue said they were shocked when the patron left a really, really big tip: $2,000 on a $93 bill. “I was in an utter daze,” she said. “I was completely speechless. I had to do a double-take.” Laura went to her boss and said, “We need to talk.” By this time, Laura had told Chris he needed to see something and the servers, owner and chef had seen the tip left by “Mr. Gumbo”. All of them were in a state of shock. “Mr. Gumbo” had left a tip of $2 000 on a bill of $93!

Is This A Joke?

After the initial euphoria died down, Laura and Chris went to his office so he could double-check the bill and view the receipt. He had heard of large tippers from his colleagues in the Midwest or the West Coast, but never locally. He had often wondered who these big tippers were and why they never seemed to frequent his establishment! Now the unbelievable had happened and one of them had enjoyed a meal in his eatery.
