In Ogden, Utah, two bars on 25th Street have received headline-making tips this month.

On Saturday, August 17, a patron at Brewskis used an American Express Card to tip $5,000 on a $214.75 bill.

The next night, a man left a $1,000 tip on a $49 tab at the bar Alleged. He also used an American Express Card.

"The staff was completely floored," Jared Allen, owner of Alleged, told the Salt Lake Tribune.

The $1,000 tip was split between three bartenders and one server. The splitting of the tip was the staff's decision. Typically, bartenders are not required to share with servers.

"I let staff decide how they want to do it," Allen said. "They all seem to be really generous with each other."

Allen told the Standard-Examiner that his brother, who was working on the lower level of the bar that night while Allen was on the rooftop section, texted Allen to tell him the good news.

"He texted me that a guy just gave a $1,000 tip," Allen recalled. "I clarified the amount with him several times via text."

"And my brother clarified it with the customer several times too," Allen added. "He wanted to make sure the guy wasn’t intoxicated."

Because the bar's iPad payment system only allows patrons to tip up to 100 per cent, the bar had to ring in the tip as a purchase.

"He seemed like just a guy who does well for himself and chose to share it with others," Allen told the Huffington Post. "It was really generous of the guy and he jumped through hoops to do it."

According to the Huffington Post, a liquor representative who accompanied the tipper at Alleged that night confirmed that the two tips were left by the same man.

Allen heard that the generous tipper also tipped $1,000 while golfing the day earlier.

"I guess they were golfing in Eden the day before and tipped the girl with the beer cart $1,000," Allen said. "I heard she was crying."

Generous tippers always make our day.

Earlier this summer, a lotto winner tipped a Saskatchewan restaurant owner a whopping $10,000.

In May, a restaurant patron tipped his server $1,000 so she could visit Italy.

And Seth Collins is touring the United States on a mission: to hand out 100 $500 tips, spread out over every state, in honour of his late brother, Aaron Collins.
