Yesterday I treated myself to a massage. After 2 years of Covid, it was so decadent and badly needed. When it came time to pay I gave the masseuse a $20 tip, about a 25% tip. He was so surprised and grateful, but truth be told, I was the grateful one.
Extra grateful tips are SOOOO much fun!! I suprised a young gal, and she gave me a big smile and said “THANK YOU”. Make a difference. Show Christ. Others are watching!
Very nice idea! I also love that the prize includes two books!
Great idea! All these tips are great reminders on how we should surprise and treat people a,, year long.
Been tipped Over campaign going strong
I love the ideas of showing extra appreciation to people who help you.
I haven’t been out to eat yet but when I do I will have this on my mind.
Sometimes it is easy to overlook these people in our hurry-up life. The jobs they do are thankless jobs and they are more likely to get complaints than thank yous. This is a wonderful idea and it will be gratefully appreciated.

This day worked out great because my kids and I had plans with another mom and kids to meet for lunch! Our bill came to $19.52 (I believe) and I left her a note with a $20 tip thanking her for her hard work and to have a very blessed Christmas! It felt really good to do this!!!
