According to the owner of the Florida restaurant, the anonymous diner wanted to help during the coronavirus pandemic.
Just before Florida restaurants closed as an anti-coronavirus effort, a local diner left a $10,000 tip that allocated each employee $500.
On Thursday, after asking the manager how many employees were onsite, the man left and returned with $10,000 in cash, asking to distribute it between all the workers. “He knew that this pandemic would be financially difficult for the staff,” says Edlund. “He wanted to help.” With more than 82,000 coronavirus cases, the United States has surpassed China and Italy as the most-infected country and according to the Florida Department of Health, the state has 2,300 reported diagnoses. Like many restaurants, eight Skillets locations are operating only by delivery-and-takeout, while the ninth location has closed.
