Waitress gets 'tip bombed' with huge surprise gratuity

HERNDON, Va. — An unsuspecting waitress got the tip of her life on Thursday.

Megan Asadi was working her regular shift at the Virginia Kitchen, when she received a $1,200 dollar tip on a $128 tab.

The tip came from an anonymous group that calls the massive gratuity a 'Tip Bomb.' The group chooses not to identify themselves in order to focus the act on the recipient of their large tips. Their goal is simply to spread holiday cheer to others.

Linc Kruger, the owner of Virginia Kitchen said he had no idea they group had decided to stop by his restaurant. "They were just kind of like... we left a tip on the table we want her to get it," Kruger explained.

Kruger said the random act of kindness could not have happened to a better person.

Asadi is a single parent with two young daughters, who has worked as a waitress for five year. She came to the United States as a refugee from Iran, and just recently became a U.S. citizen. Asadi said she could not wait to tell her children, "They're gonna be so surprised and excited, they can't wait until next week," Asadi explained.

The usual tip for the $125 tab would be about $20. Soon after receiving the generous gratuity, Asadi got back to work, clearing her table and greeting her next customers with a smile.
