Stars aren’t always just like Us because sometimes they go above and beyond to show their appreciation by leaving a jaw-dropping tip behind. While tipping between 18 and 20 percent is considered “normal,” a handful of celebrities have developed the generous habit of tipping 100 percent or more when they dine out.
For many famous people, the decision to tip copiously stems from their own connections to or pasts in the service industry. When Amy Schumer tipped $1,000 on a $77 bar tab while seeing Hamilton in March 2016, for example, she told the bartender she did so because she understands the struggle. “I’ve been there, I get it,” the New York native explained to her server at the time.
Donnie Wahlberg is yet another example of star who frequently tips more than is necessary. For the Blue Bloods star, whose parents both worked in the service industry, leaving a large gratuity is simply his way of giving back and showing appreciation for others. “My mom waited tables, and my dad tended bars — for years!” he explained via Instagram in July 2017 after tipping his Waffle House waitress $2,000. “So, when I walk into a #WaffleHouse, and the staff treats me like a king, you better believe I treat them like queens!”
Days later, while enjoying dinner with Adele and James Corden in the Caribbean, Harry Styles kept the trend going and left that exact same tip on the trio’s $473 bill.
