A 16% tip, not bad for a bar. I doubt, though, that all of that went to ONE server.

LOL I was thinking the same thing. I am sure she worked her butt off but it sure paid off.

Also of note: Server Danielle definitely isn't a Stanley Cup champion, but she did make off with an obligatory $24,869.80 tip, which clearly makes her a winner.

Not clear, perhaps the tip was added to the bill. The article said the tip was "obligatory".

I am guessing that they (Foxwoods) put the gratuity on the bill.

I know that would put a heck of a dent in my mortgage.

Thats about 15%, not huge, but not bad considering there was probably alot of high dollar spirits consumed.


Just saw the graphic...one bottle for $100k.

Parties over 6 or 8 get obligatory tip of 15% in many places.
