Facebook group members dined at the restaurant in waves, with each member leaving $100 tips
A Facebook group had a big surprise in store for the staff of a Colorado restaurant.
Members of “The Denver $100 Dinner Club” each left $100 tips for the staff at Black + Haus Tavern in Parker, Colorado, last week.
The coordinated effort from the group totaled $3,000, Denver7 News reported. According to a Facebook post by Black + Haus Tavern, it appears that many of those tips were handed out in cash.
