Customer uses stimulus check to leave generous tip for Idaho restaurant

January 13, 2021 By Ann Schmidt

A man in Idaho used part of his stimulus money to leave a generous tip at a local restaurant. 

Gramercy Park Pizza & Grill in Meridian, Idaho, posted about the tip on Facebook earlier this week. 

The anonymous man left a $600 tip on a $108.50 meal, even though the restaurant already includes an 18% tip on the ticket total, according to a picture of the receipt.

The man also left a note on the receipt, saying that he wanted to share some of his remaining stimulus money with the restaurant. 

“I’ve been able to work as normal throughout the pandemic, but still got stimulus $, so I want to share with you all!” he wrote.
