BIG TIPPER
I received a car as a tip while working as a cocktail waitress. Without extra service. I found out he had overheard me talking to coworkers about not having a car and lining up rides. Also, I was trying to save money to go back to college, since I did poorly the quarter before (yes, still on the quarter system and my parents stopped footing the bill) He paid his tab with his two friends and left me a $50 tip. Note: this was over 15 years ago and the tip was almost the cost of the bill. The car was delivered to me at work the next day by his lawyer and I never saw the man again. At first I wouldn't accept it because I wondered his motives and what strings would be attached. The lawyer assured me it was just a kind gesture and his client wanted nothing in return other than that I return to school and finish my degree. Now it wasn't a fancy, flashy, brand new car, but it was still a car, only couple years old. Come to find out the man owned quite a few car dealerships as well as all of the "company I will not name" the area. I never tell this to people, because hell, I probably wouldn't believe it either.
