The person behind this movement has chosen to remain anonymous but has shared, “The movement we started is meant to be agnostic.” He mentioned that while he doesn’t recall the exact moment the movement began, it started at a college football game in Michigan. He added that he’s been fortunate and has always been a generous tipper.
Many believe restaurant owners should pay their employees livable wages, which is a valid point. However, the profit margins for many restaurants are incredibly slim, and even owners are struggling. In many European countries, tipping isn’t customary, yet workers still earn livable wages. Perhaps there’s something the U.S. could learn from this. Meanwhile, people like the anonymous generous “agnostic” continue to spread joy by participating in this movement.
Unfortunately, not all acts of generosity end well, as seen in the case of Alfredo’s Pizza, where the restaurant and its employees became victims of a cruel prank.
Alfredo’s Vice President Leslie Minicozzi Galacci revealed, “We received notice 45 days after he dined in our establishment.”
