“The tourists that come in, they do tip more. I made 20 bucks off just one single guy.”
— Crystal Forsberg, waitress at Sapphire’s Mongolian Grill
“My best tip was 200 bucks for one round, after bag fees.”
— Tyrone Vassion, caddie at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
“I’ve been tipped different things. The best thing is making (customers) feel better about themselves. You can’t put a value on self-esteem.”
— Janice McClary, hairdresser at Curl Up N’ Dye
“I’ve got a $100 tip before. I thought it was a damn good thing. I try not to expect anything, just be surprised. They tip very well here.”
— Jennifer Hall, bartender at Coney Station
“It’s not always money, people sometimes bring us holiday gifts or baked goods or coffee. That’s nice, because we know we’re appreciated.”
— Becky Stephenson, groomer at Happy Tails dog salon
