A good Samaritan customer left a massive tip for a pub landlord leaving him gobsmacked after he popped in for a single pint.
Chris Rowlands from craft beer bar Bubs, in Cardiff, said he initially thought the customer had overpaid by mistake after he enjoyed a drink on Tuesday evening.
So he contacted his online payment platform Yoello to query the payment and was put in touch with the customer, Business Live reports.
But he was left gobsmacked when the generous drinker said he wanted to "help the place out" after the coronavirus lockdown.
The man, who has not be named, had enjoyed a pint costing £4.90.
But when he paid up he added a whopping £100 as a tip.
Mr Rowlands said: “I saw that a customer who’d enjoyed a pint with us on a Tuesday evening had tipped £100.
"It was just a £4.90 order so I thought it had to have been a mistake.
"We spoke to the guys at Yoello who were able to put us in contact with the customer.
"When we spoke to him it turned out that he really did intend to tip that much to help the place out through all the Covid-19 issues.
“I was stunned, it was quite mind-blowing that someone would think of doing that.
"It’s nice to hear there’s still some good in the world!”
Sina Yamani, CEO and Founder of Yoello, added: “It was fantastic to hear that one of our clients had received such incredible support from one of his customers.
"The fact that the gentleman added it secretly to his bill while he paid via the platform without mentioning it to any of the staff showed that he clearly just wanted to help out at a time he knows local pubs and restaurants are operating under incredible pressures.
"It brought a smile to all of our faces when Chris shared the news with us.”
