It happened when somebody visited Nighttown restaurant in Cleveland. When he ordered a beer and paid $7.02, nobody was expecting much, but that is when he went up to the restaurant owner, Brendan Ring, and told him to share the tip with his waitstaff.

A bartender at the restaurant, Heather Sandow, was one of the four people who were working in the restaurant when the tip was left. She feels that it was about more than the money. She thinks that it was a kind gesture of unselfishness and that the customers who come to the restaurant care about them.
