Customer Leaves $3,000 Tip After Restaurant Voluntarily Closed Down Due to Covid-19

After a restaurant voluntarily closed down in Cleveland, Ohio, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a customer left a $3,000 tip for a single beer.

Nighttown owner Brendan Ring wrote on Facebook that a man walked into his restaurant Sunday, ordered a beer, and then asked for his $7.02 check.

Ring said the man wished him well and told him to share the tip with the four working brunch service employees.

As the man walked out, Ring said he looked down at the tip and “realized he left a whopping $3,000.”

“I ran after him, and he said no mistake, we will see you when you reopen!”

Ring said he would not post the customer’s name because he thinks the man wouldn’t want that.

The owner said he and his serving staff were “humbly grateful for this incredibly kind and grand gesture.”
