Server surprised by massive tip after receiving homophobic note and no gratuity
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV/Gray News) A server arguably received the tip of a lifetime after a different customer left a hateful, homophobic comment on a tipless check.
WMTV reports Eric Salzwedel, co-founder of the nonprofit Do Good Wisconsin, shared an image of the check the server received on Facebook.
To the folks who felt it was necessary to write this hateful note and not tip...don't worry me and about 250 others will cover the tip for you. #LoveTrumpsHate #BeKind

The customer did not tip a cent and wrote service was good but we dont tip sinfull (sic) homosexuals.
Hundreds of strangers rallied and pitched in to give the server a $4,500 tip. Salzwedel dined in at the restaurant, requested that specific server and surprised them with the massive tip.
Salzwedel said the server did not want to be publicly named but was very appreciative of the unexpected gesture of kindness and support.
Do Good Wisconsins mission is to perform random acts of kindness throughout the community to brighten someones day.
