This unexpected act of generosity has sparked a viral sensation and ignited discussions about tipping nowadays.
Bartender baffled after customer tips $900 for bizarre demand
The story revolves around TikToker Scarlett Green, known as @rescarded, who shared her experience on the platform.
On January 27th, a customer visited her bar and ordered five pints of Michelob Ultra Draft along with 10 chicken wings and buffalo sauce.
The total bill amounted to $30.26. However, to Scarlett's surprise, the customer added a whopping $900 as a tip.
Now, the question arises: why did the customer tip such a significant amount?
In the photo Scarlett posted with the receipt, the customer said, "Wow, your hair looks nice! Can I take a picture?"
The picture clearly showed Scarlett's hair, which was styled in braided pigtails, and it seemed to be the main reason the customer wanted to take a photo.
Scarlett's caption read, "Come back."
This intriguing incident quickly caught the attention of viewers, who flooded the comments section with their opinions.
Some speculated that the five Michelobs might have played a role in the generous tip. Others expressed their astonishment, mentioning they would be overwhelmed if something similar happened to them.
In another video, Scarlett explained that she always wears pigtails while bartending because older men seem to appreciate the country accent and hairstyle.
While some viewers found this concerning, others encouraged Scarlett to embrace the situation and enjoy the unexpected windfall.
A whopping 300% on 30 bucks is only 90. Just saying. Do the math. She got almost 3000%, one user said.
Well considering the 9's and 0's are completely different from the tip line to the paid line .....I'm going to say the tip was written in after the fact by the waitress so she could sell this story and garner likes, the second user said.
I want to be tip like this too, the third user commented.
So from now on I will wear braids every shift so I can take pictures and get tips, another wrote.
This is not the first time the topic of tipping has attracted attention on social media.
Previously, a 20-year-old Hooters employee left everyone speechless when she revealed the huge tips she received during each shift.
During a morning shift from 11-5, Jordan can earn $298.66 in tips. Another shift on February 28 saw her accumulate a whopping $244.83.
