Texas Restaurant Regular Stuns Staff by Tipping $9,400 to Help With Coronavirus Impact:
https://www.newsweek.com/texas-restaurant-tip-9400-1492792?utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=Feed&utm_campaign=Partnerships<snip>
One customer at a restaurant in Texas has played a small part in helping its staff weather the financial storm of the coronavirus outbreak by leaving a tip of $9,400.
The U.S. Senate is set to pass legislation aimed at helping businesses and families deal with the financial impact of the pandemic which has closed bars, cafes and restaurants across the country and endangered the livelihoods of many people in the hospitality sector.
But staff at Irma's Southwest, in Houston, which has served Mexican food and Texas Hill Country fare since 1998, got a lesson in the kindness of strangers, when a regular, who has remained anonymous, left the huge tip.
On the receipt, the patron even wrote a message of support, which read: "Hold tip to pay your guys over the next few weeks."
The tip will be split evenly among the staff, with each worker getting around $300.
