Mystery customers leave $7000 total in tips at Rouge

Written by , Posted in Arts & Entertainment, Food

There is such a thing as leaving a generous tip for your server but a couple of mystery men who dined at Rouge have gone above and beyond the conventional amount. According to Philly.com, two customers, described to be middle aged, came into the restaurant last Thursday paying with Amex Black Cards for their $258 dinner check. The server, Jess Nguyen, noticed that they had left behind a $5,000 tip as well as the words, “God Bless!!” and “Boom!!!”, on the check. They then proceeded to leave behind a $2,000 tip on a $150 bar tab for the bartender Sam Trasatti, again writing on the check, “God Bless!!”.

The group known as Tips For Jesus was apparently behind the generous donations, as pictures of the incidents can be seen posted on their Instagram page. They asked that their identities be kept anonymous and even scratched out their names on the checks.
