A restaurant in America wants to sue a customer after he left a $3,000 tip on a $13 meal.
Tipping is one of the most debated issues on the internet.
While some people believe you should tip every time you go out and make an order, others think it should be reserved for exceptional service only.

But when one waitress received a humongous tip, it took a shocking turn that nobody expected…
Eric Smith visited Alfredo’s Pizza in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and left a $3,000 tip on his $13 bill.
The customer, who only ordered a plate of stromboli, reportedly left the tip of a lifetime as part of a social media trend called ‘Tips For Jesus’.
The staff were gobsmacked when the money went through and praised the guy for his kindness.
Alfredo’s Vice President Leslie Minicozzi Galacci told Newsweek that the customer would end up disputing the charge to his credit card company.

Galacci told the news outlet: “We received notice 45 days after he dined in our establishment.
“We had already paid Mari the $3,000 by a company check so currently we, as the owners, are hit with the loss.”

The management would contact Smith – hoping it was just a mistake – but the customer reportedly ended up ghosting them.
Manager Zachary Jacobson told WNEP-TV: “We thought somebody was actually trying to do a good thing.

“And then now we are, what, three months later? Not even, and there’s nothing. There’s nothing to show for it at this point.”
He added: “It’s just a little aggravating right now. It’s been causing a lot of nonsense and drama.”
Alfredo’s – mentioned in the hit TV show The Office – decided to take Smith to court, hoping to recuperate the $3,000.
“Unfortunately, we had to file charges through the magistrate’s office because now we’re just out of this money at this point,” Jacobson explained. “And he told us to sue him, so that’s what we’re going to end up doing, I guess.”
