Steak ‘n Shake waitress CeCe Bruce reportedly received an over 7000 percent tip on a $5.97 check.
According to WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, it wasn't a rich, one-percenter who dropped the $466 tip. Instead it was one of Bruce's regular customers, a woman named Miss Jo, was eating her breakfast at the restaurant when she saw Bruce being hassled by a a customer at another table.
“I was having a hard time at another table, but kept smiling and going on,” Bruce told WTHR-TV.
Bruce said that she thought it was $46, which would have been a huge tip anyway.
“When I looked again, I said ‘Oh my gosh Miss Jo, I’m not taking that!’” the waitress said. “And she said, ‘Yes, you’re taking it’ and I said no and she said ‘You need to take it’.”
Bruce, who's going to school part-time college student, said the tip couldn't have come at a better time.
As far as Miss Jo is concerned, Bruce said she didn't even get a chance to say a proper thank you.
"She's a really sweet lady and she didn't want any gracious gratitude. She signed the receipt and walked out the door," said Bruce.
