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

Instructions From The Customer

‘Mr. Gumbo’ had also left a note, telling them how he wanted the tip divided up amongst the staff. Chef James was to get $1000, and Laura and Chris were to get $500 each. What the note did not explain was why the tip was so large. Even through all their euphoria, the staff managed to feel a bit of curiosity. This was a phenomenal act of kindness, one that all these workers had never experienced in their lives.

Showing Their Appreciation

The next day, Chris sent a “thank you” email to the man and got the explanation for the crazy tip, “He said he’s very happy with what we’ve built and that he’s proud to be a customer,” Chris said. ‘Mr. Gumbo’ said that he had watched the restaurant grow and flourish over the years due to the hard work of its employees and owner, and was proud to be a patron. His gratuity was his way of expressing his feelings.
