New Hampshire Diner Leaves $16,000 Tip On $37 Bill

A photo of the generous tip was shared on social media by the owner of the restaurant

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies across the world. One of the worst-hit sectors has been the hospitality industry, with several countries imposing a lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus, thereby bringing restaurant footfalls to an abysmal low. So, when a diner at a New Hampshire restaurant chose to pay a tip of $16,000 recently, the Internet, too, was generous with praise. The incident came to the fore when the owner of the restaurant, Stumble Inn Bar & Grill in Londonderry, New Hampshire, share a photo of the bill on Facebook this Monday. In the post, restaurant owner Michael Zarella thanked the anonymous diner for his generosity. Sharing the image, Mr Zarella wrote, "Stumble inn had a very generous customer. We thank you for your generosity." The receipt shows the diner left a tip of $16,000 - which is over Rs 11 lakh.
