AWESOME: Estes Park Restaurant Guest Leaves $1400 Tip
1 min readThe staff at Notchtop Bakery & Cafe in Estes Park was blessed by a customer identified only as “David” who wrote “COVID sucks!” on his receipt and left $200 for each of the seven employees who were working during his breakfast.
Owner Nailya Khametvalieva said David left the tip on top of his $20.04 breakfast bill.
The restaurant has struggled but not closed during the forced shutdown by the Colorado government, and was forced to rely on PPP loans to stay afloat. This gift was a surprise to the employees, one of whom characterized the tip as “a big help to her family.”
Khametvalieva said, “I wanted to thank everybody who actually feels for small businesses and people have been so grateful and kind and nice. They have a big heart, especially David.”
Restaurant employees have been working very hard under uncertain and stressful government restrictions. It’s wonderful to see such appreciation and generosity from their fellow Coloradoans.
