Nữ tiếp viên được tỷ phú tặng tiền tip $5,000
Cô Jennifer Navaria là nhân viên tiếp khách trong nhà hàng Sealass ở thành phố Salisbury, tiểu bang Massachusetts. Vào tối đầu tháng 1, nhà hàng Sealass đón một nhóm khách 4 người, và cô Navaria là người phục vụ đồ ăn cho họ. Khi cầm hóa đơn tính tiền, Jennifer nhìn thoáng qua về số tiền tip ghi trên giấy, và nghĩ là $50 Mỹ kim.
Nhưng khi nhìn lại, cô bất ngờ vì nhận ra số tiền tip lên đến $5,000 Mỹ kim, gấp 31 lần số tiền bữa ăn của nhóm khách hôm đó. "Tôi dường như không thể tin vào mắt mình,” cô Navaria nói. Trước khi đưa hóa đơn, cô Navaria đã có cuộc trò chuyện ngắn với những thực khách này tại bàn.
Vị khách hào phóng đó là ông Ernie Boch Jr., một tỷ phú, chủ đại lý xe hơi địa phương. Cô Navaria mới đây đã xin phép ông Boch được đăng câu chuyện lên mạng và đã được đồng ý.
Trong cuộc phỏng vấn với báo chí, vị khách cho biết việc cho tiền tip cao được ông lấy từ cảm hứng "Thử thách tip 2020 vào năm mới" của Donnie Wahlberg, thành viên nhóm nhạc New Kids on the Block. Đầu năm, anh Wahlberg đã tip $2,020 Mỹ kim cho một người phục vụ bàn ở Illinois.

Car dealership billionaire tips Massachusetts waitress $5K
By Amanda WoodsFebruary 5, 2020 |
Server Jennifer Navaria posted on Facebook that she received a $5,000 tip from car dealership owner Ernie Boch Jr.
A billionaire Massachusetts car dealership magnate tipped a local waitress $5,000 in a move inspired by actor Donnie Wahlberg’s New Year’s Day gesture, according to new reports.
Ernie Boch Jr., a local celebrity of sorts, had finished dining at Seaglass Restaurant in Salisbury Saturday when he decided to leave the generous gratuity for waitress Jennifer Navaria, who posted a photo of the receipt to Facebook.
“Thank you Ernie Boch for your amazing generosity!” Navaria wrote. “You certainly made a job I really enjoy that much better.”
When Navaria first glanced at the receipt, she thought Boch had given a $50 tip for the $157.56 meal he shared with friends. But then she looked again.
“I was, like, ‘Oh, wait a minute,’ so then I looked down again and I saw it was four digits, then a decimal point,” Navaria told WCVB. “I said, ‘You made my night,’ but, really, he made my month.”
The restaurant was nearly empty, but Boch — who has a net worth of $1.1 billion, according to NBC Boston — and his pals were having such a good time that he remembered what Walhberg had done a month earlier.
The New Kids on the Block singer and “Blue Bloods” star surprised his waitress at an Illinois IHOP with a New Year-appropriate $2,020 tip on a $75.45 bill.
Wahlberg and his wife Jenny McCarthy tweeted a photo of their receipt, encouraging others to take part in the #2020tipchallenge.
“I had the tip challenge in the back of my mind and I thought, ‘this is perfect, she is amazing, it would be great,’” Boch told The Salem News. “It’s basically a challenge. I know Donnie and he knows me. In fact, my band opened for him at the House of Blues. I have such respect for the guy and when he did that, I thought, ‘That is the coolest thing.’ So I was right on it.”
Boch wrote, “Donnie, your move,” on the receipt he handed to Navaria.
“Who’s making the next move?” the car magnate told WCVB. “Who’s it going to be? Who’s going to help us out? It’s got to be more than me — I was more than Donnie…. Let’s keep it going!”
Navaria has asked her Facebook friends to help share the receipt photo with Wahlberg.
“I hear about this happening to other people and I knew about that challenge,” she told the station. “But who would have ever thought it would happen to you?”
