UPDATE Bartender's $10,000 Tip

from WDIV Detroit TV 4

The bartender at an Applebee's restaurant in Kansas, who last week was left a $10,000 tip by a regular customer, now has the cash. Cindy Kienow got a check from the franchise owner for $6,300 -- her share of the tip, after taxes.

The customer left the tip on Aug. 27 -- a $10,000 tip on a $26 meal. But since he paid by credit card, the restaurant wanted to make sure it was a valid charge before giving the bartender the money. For now, she still has that Jeep in her eyes.
