Waitress With Two Young Sons Gets $2,000 Tip. Restaurant Says It Can’t Process It. UPDATE: Restaurant Owner Reportedly Writes Her A Check For Tip And Customer’s Bill.

A Texas waitress who profusely apologized to a customer for slow service because she was swamped serving tables got two surprises: the customer left her a $2,000 tip and the restaurant where she worked told her they couldn’t process the tip.

Emily Bauer, who has two sons, 2 years old and 5 months old, said she had worked at Red Hook Seafood and Bar for roughly two weeks before the incident. She told KENS5 that she was serving a couple in her section, and the man expressed his understanding that she was swamped.
