A feel-good story for all the feels.
The service industry is taking a huge hit during the pandemic due to COVID-19. More cities are going back to shutting down bars and restaurants to stop the spread of coronavirus. Some establishments are skipping the carry-out option and are just closing completely.
Apart of those places in Ohio completely closing shop until further notice is Nighttown, a jazz & blues club in Cleveland.
According to Cleveland.com on their last day of business, something amazing happened. A customer left a huge tip of $3,000. The only item the man ordered was a $7 beer says the owner Brendan Ring.
“So just before we closed today at Nighttown a customer walked in and ordered a beer and asked for the check and handed his credit card slip to me, wished me well while we sit out our voluntary shutdown and told me to share the tip amongst the wait staff of which there were four working brunch today. As he walked out I looked down at the tip and realized he left a whopping $3000 tip on a single beer purchase. I ran after him and he said no mistake we will see you when you reopen!
Unbelievable but symbolic of the kind of quality folks we have know at Nighttown all these years. I could post his name but I won’t as I think he wouldn’t want that but all my waitstaff and myself and humbly grateful for this incredibly kind and grand gesture.”
Wow! A diner dropped a $3,000 tip on a very small bill on Nighttown’s final day for now. https://t.co/aFqVqyQ1v3
