Arrow You're tipped! Trump leaves waiter $10,000!

You're tipped! Trump leaves waiter $10,000!

by Tom Barlow Dec 6th 2007 @ 5:00PM

Filed under: Extracurriculars

Donald Trump. When you hear that name, do you think blow-hard, cad, an annoying man whose wealth makes him hard to ignore? Me, too. Certainly, the word munificent doesn't come to mind. Therefore, the report of his generosity toward a Hollywood waiter took me by surprise. It appears that Mr. Trump, when not humiliating apprentices, is capable of some very nice actions, such as tipping like a king.

According to the report on Derober, Trump and another man shared dinner Monday at the Buffalo Club in L.A. Their waiter had trouble even getting their attention to order, but a co-worker told him that Trump had tipped generously in the past, so the waiter had hopes of a C-note or such. When the meal was over. Trump asked him what was the biggest tip he'd ever received, to which he hesitantly responded, $500.

When The Donald left the building, the lucky waiter found, much to his shock and awe, that he'd been left a $10,000 tip. Trump, apparently, doesn't like to be one-upped at anything.

Hearing this, I'll view The Donald's actions with a lot more generosity. As someone I can't recall once said, a person who treats you well and the waiter badly is not a nice person. Perhaps the reverse is also true.

That is nice of Trump to do that if it is true. However keep in mind, him leaving a 10,000 dollar tip is like normal income person leaving one dollar tip.

perhaps the owner of the company would have the 10,000 to a good use. Maybe a brand new coffee machine?

I read about that even posted here in different section maybe mods can merge or delete which ever. Lucky, waiter got nice tip $10,000. Trump asked the waiter , what was the biggest tip received. The waiter hestiated replied "$500". Later, was in awe of the generous gratuity.

Tell me where does Donald dine in at so I could be his waitress. $10,000 will be a very nice tip for me.

It's real nice of Donald to do something like that, even through he has all the money in the world, so I don't think he minds much how much he leaves as a tip.

I could use some of that money to pay off the cruise trip in 2009.

Well, you need to wear Patroits cheerleader uniform. He will approach and give you the tip.

Speaking of Donald Trump, we all know his way as a womanizers. I'll be damned. Maybe there is a heart in the big jackass after all. Maybe he isn't just a blowhard. God knows he's incorrigible. He get's on my very last nerve the way he treats people, as if money makes him better than everyone else. But a extermly good gesture on his part.

December 7, 2007 -- DONALD Trump might be generous, but he didn't tip a Santa Monica waiter $10,000 on Monday. The tycoon says he wasn't even in California. Derober.com published a copy of a MasterCard receipt showing that Trump tipped $10,000 on an $82.27 bill after dining at the Buffalo Club, but Trump told Page Six it was a hoax. "This was done by the stupid restaurant to get publicity," he said. ". . . It's not my signature." The Web site not only ran an interview with waiter Billy D but also posted a video of the supposed server walking to his car.
NOT OUR DONALD
