Stunned waitress, 21, gets best Christmas present ever after kind-hearted stranger leaves her a whopping tip
A WAITRESS was left “shaking” after a kind-hearted stranger left her with a whopping £1,500 tip as a Christmas surprise.
US-based Sarrah, 21, was gobsmacked when the table bill came to $693.36 (£508) with a staggering $2,020 (£1,481) tip on top.
She shared a photo of the receipt on Twitter, with the caption: “I’m literally shaking.”
Her post has since racked up over 259,000 likes, with many people just as shocked as she was.
One person wrote: “Where do I need work for this?”
Another added: “AS you DESERVE queen.”
However, some people questioned if the receipt was genuine or had been faked.
One said: “Nah you got a 20 dollar tip and wrote the rest in. You wrote the 2’s different.”
Another commented: “No signature means they’ll probably do a chargeback in your restaurant or it was a stolen credit card, to begin with. Sorry to rain in your parade but if I was your manager I wouldn’t accept this and I was a GM for 4 years.”
Sarrah was forced to do a follow-up tweet, which said: “why are people so concerned with my blessing of a tip. Yes, it was real. Yes, the tip went through. Yes, I’m getting the money. yes, I’m aware what taxes are.”

Some people pointed out that the person who had left the tip had written on the customer copy of the receipt, which is typically taken home and not processed.
One person said: “It's a customer copy. No you aren't.”
Sarrah responded by saying: “I know it’s a ‘custom copy’ but it’s legit I didn’t write this in and risk my job for a stupid tweet lol.”
One fellow restaurant worker backed her up saying: “People accidentally sign the customer copy EVERYYYY DAY. We still accept them that means nothing to us lol."
