So what do you do when you get a huge tip?
    #14475282 - 05/18/11 08:27 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

So I work this part time job as a server.  Not a bad place, few tables to sit down.  Mostly take-out.  In the front, there is a little glass jar for tips.

I'm alone during this shift.  The usual people came in.  One lady, probably late forties, drops something in the tip jar--and then a couple more bucks.  Great! Thank you!

Fast forward towards end of the shift, I look inside said jar, and I find a hundred dollar bill folded up several times in the midst of the ones.  Apart from total shock--this couldn't have come at a better time.  I'm preparing to leave for school this summer, and I'm working on paying my folks back who helped me out with the bill. 

Surprisingly, this has happened to me before.  Back in the day when I worked at Starbucks, I found a hundred in the jar.  But this time, I know who dropped it in. 

To be honest, I made small talk with the lady a few times--but mostly she just comes in, smiles, picks up her food and leaves.  A pleasant, happy person, but not one I normally do more than the 'howya doin?'. 

I'm amazingly grateful, but I'm not sure how to approach this.  She was subtle and probably thinks I don't know it was her. 

Been a while since I posted, but thought this was a good one you guys could help me sort out.

The next time she comes in give her whatever she orders and put it on the house.

Afterall, It's the least you can do.

she prolly thought it was a dollar bill, next time you see her you should return it.  Im sure she needs it more than you do, and if not she might have actually ment to leave it and tell you to keep it

I'd make some small talk the next time I saw her: "You'll never believe what happened yesterday! I was going through this tip jar, and someone had put a $100 bill in there! What a godsend! I really needed that money for school and to pay my parents back..."

You give her the chance to claim that she put it in (not likely).

But if it was her, you let her know that you appreciated the tip. And probably reward her tip with a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling in her stomach. :feelsgoodman:

Are you supposed to split the tips with your co-workers?

I'm not sure.  I've never worked a job that involved tipping.

nicee :thumbup:

im a bartender, and it's always awesome when someone leaves me big tips. i once chatted with this guy for like 10 mins and he tipped me $15 on a $15 tab.

ive had a few others tip me upwards of $40 and it's one of the best feelings ever. makees my job feel really rewarding, not only cause i made a bunch of $$ but because someone felt I deserved that tip :awehigh:

Do nothing. Just do what you have been doing and pretend you don't know it was her.
