Bartender gets $10,000 tip on $26 tab - GoFuckYourself.com

Rochard · 08-31-2006, 07:38 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - 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.

"This is a great deal for us and a great deal for Cindy," said Rhodri McNee, vice president of operations for JS Enterprises, the owner of the Hutchinson Applebee's. "We did have a guest leave this tip on a credit card, and we're doing everything to make sure it's a valid charge."

The company is in the final stages of verifying the tip, McNee said, while also working to maintain the customer's privacy and make sure the money goes through the proper channels to get to Kienow.

"Nothing would make us happier than to present her with that check," McNee said. "She's been with us for eight years, and she's a great employee who does a great job."

Kienow said that while she always talks with the man when he comes in ? usually about current events or the weather ? she can't think of anything that would have prompted the huge tip.

"I've been waiting on him for about three years," Kienow said. "We'd just talk across the bar he's a really nice guy. I hope he comes back in so I can tell him thank you, because the other day I was kind of dumbfounded."

Kienow, whose father will have to take some time off work for surgery on both of his knees, said she hasn't decided what to do with the money.

"I'd like to take care of my parents, since they always took care of me," she said. "But I feel like he wanted me to buy something for myself, and there's a Jeep that I've had my eye on for a while."

Does this happen everyday ? hell no

Does this happen more often then winning the lotto ? hell no

Syl · 08-31-2006, 10:48 AM

Awww what a great story, whatever his intentions may have been. Maybe he just has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it.

"Word has circulated for weeks that Wynn was angered after learning that a particularly successful high roller had showered the dealers with $500,000 that formerly belonged to the house. The incident, as the green-felt rumor has it, led to the departure of a casino vice president and this week's rules change."

Oh, I'm not saying it's not a big deal... it's just that I don't usually hear business owners talk about "going through propper channels" and having to "verify" $10k.

and taking care of her family or buying a jeep? With $10k?

I love how half the people in this thread think he has some ulterior motive for it? Maybe he was just trying to lighten up someones day? Maybe he was just trying to be nice? You know, some people still do crazy things like that.

Those kind of tips are pretty common in casinos. Might have something to do with the amount of cheese getting tossed around.

I know.. maybe 10,000 was a little bit too much..
