Man Pays $3K Tip For $7 Beer At Ohio Restaurant
A customer left him more than generous tip as an Ohio restaurant that is closing due to an increase in COVID-19 cases.
The customer left a $3,000 tip on one beer costing $7 at a Cleveland restaurant that is voluntarily closing.
“So just before we closed today at Nighttown a customer walked in and ordered a beer and asked for the check and handed his credit card slip to me, wished me well while we sit out our voluntary shutdown and told me to share the tip amongst the wait staff of which there were four working brunch today,” the owner Brendan Ring wrote on Facebook.

Ring thought that it may have been an error, however the customer said it wasn’t. Apparently, he didn’t even finish his beer before signing the check and leaving the hefty tip.
“I looked down at the check, but I didn’t have my glasses on,” Ring said to Cleveland.com. “I said, ‘Holy oh my, he just left a $300 tip.’ Then I put my glasses on and it hit my eyes. What the — it was $3,000. I ran out the door after him … He said, ‘No, I meant it. Make sure, enjoy, Merry Christmas, we’ll see you when you reopen.”
“You can’t write this stuff,” Ring added. “You hear these stories once in a while around the country about a guy leaving a big tip. I have never experienced in all my years here … Everyone is looking to grasp onto something that gives us hope these days, and this is a bright shining-star moment.”
