Results: ANONYMOUS DINER LEAVES $16,000 TIP ON $37 BILL

But few are so loyal or generous as one unnamed gentleman who gave a tip so incredible even the owner was hesitant to believe it. If you work in food service, has anyone ever left an incredibly large tip?

The man came in on June 12, ordered two chili cheese dogs, some pickle chips and a few drinks. His bill came to $37.93. "It was on the credit card statement, they put down next to the register, and he said three times 'Don't spend it all in one place,'" Mike Zarella, the restaurant owner said. "That's what made her flip it over and look. And she's like 'Oh my god, are you serious?' And he's like, 'I want you to have it. You guys work hard.'" If you were able, would you give a generous tip to a local restaurant or business?

"I thought it was a mistake," Zarella explained, "could have been like a maybe $160 tip and he added extra zeroes, and the bar manager talked to the gentleman and he said 'No, it's $16,000.'" "He just said that they deserve it. They work very hard." If you received a tip like that, would you check with the individual to make sure it wasn't a mistake?

The man wasn't famous. He didn't want recognition. The tip amount was accurate, and it ended up being split among all of the employees - since tips are shared and they all played a role in serving the man. Would you be disappointed to share a tip that large with fellow employees?

Zarella said he even tried to comp the customer's next meal when he came back later, but the generous mystery man declined. The tip is the largest the bar and grill has ever received and was certainly appreciated by all the recipients. If you left such a generous tip, would you expect your next meal to be free?
