Tips For Jesus Strikes Again

The men behind the nationwide movement Tips For Jesus have struck again, this time at a restaurant in Philadelphia.

An unidentified group of men have been leaving massive tips for waitresses, bartenders and other lower income workers with an emblem marked Tips For Jesus.  The name of the customer is scratched out so that they cannot be identified.

The mystery men left a $5,000 tip for a waitress and a $2,000 tip for a bartender at Philadelphia’s Rouge restaurant.

“When he wrote down the tip, to be honest with you, it didn’t feel real,” waitress Jess Nguyen told Philly.com.  “I feel like I won the lottery.”

Nguyen said her tip will to go paying for her college classes to earn a teaching degree and the bartender, Sam Trasatti, said she will use the money to help build a personal training business.

The identity of the man behind the Tips for Jesus campaign has been a secret but some media websites are suggesting it is Jack Selby, a former vice president of  the online payment service PayPal.

“Tips For Jesus” Blessing Wait Staff Nationwide

An unknown person or group of people has been leaving large tips for wait staff across the United States signing their receipts with the Twitter handle “@tipsforjesus”.

The mystery tipper has left thousands of dollars in tips at restaurants in San Francisco and Chicago. The most recent tip was a $1,000 on a $266 bill at a Los Angeles area restaurant according to MyFoxLA.

Two bartenders at a University of Notre Dame campus restaurant said a group of men left a $10,000 tip and signed their receipt with the @tipsforjesus handle. The University verified the tip was valid through American Express.

One of the bartenders was overjoyed because she had no transportation and was going to use the money to get a car for use to drive to school and work.

A restaurant in Port Orchard, Washington also reported a group of men using the Twitter handle leaving a $5,000 tip.

The group’s Instagram account has the slogan “Doing the Lord’s work, one tip at a time.”
