Another manager, Zachary Jacobson, happened to be in the restaurant that day. When he asked Smith why he opted to leave such a big tip, he responded that he was paying it forward. “He said he was involved in cryptocurrency. He was just trying to give back to the community. He’s originally from the area,” Jacobson told CNN. “I’m happy to see that people are giving back. It’s a very hard industry to be involved in, especially during Covid.” RELATED: This is the Queen’s No. 1 Favorite Meal, According to Her Chef 3 It May Have Been Part of a Viral Social Media Campaign, “Tips for Jesus”
On the credit card receipt Smith also wrote “Tips for Jesus,” referring to a social media trend linked back to an Instagram account “tipsforjesus.” The account is run by an anonymous user, who appears to share receipts of similar acts of kindness – large tips left on receipts. “It’s good to know there’s still good people out there,” Jacobson added. “It helped her out a lot.” RELATED: Elon Musk Fires Back Against Media Accusing Him for Having Affair with His Friend’s Wife. “They Could Say I’m Satan.”  4 One Waitress Was Tipped $10,000

There are also people who tip more than 20 percent, who are considered “big tippers.”
