Alright so forgive me if this topic has already been started but, what are the three weirdest/coolest things someone has dropped into your tip cup? For me it was

1.Chuck E Cheese token
2.$100
3. A small coin shaped piece of metal which had the outline of an angel on top. Above the angel it said "a guardian angel, sent to watch over you"

got a little keyring version of the eiffel tower, which still stands on our little tip plate! always getting foreign coins kinda annoying haha. One girl wrote in hot chocolate on her saucer "what if it's cancer?" which freaked me out royally! she had prepaid, and when finished brought the cup and 'painted' saucer up to me and practically ran out the door.... very strange

It was a small wedding, about 15 people. He paid for the place the wedding was held, a five course meal for everyone, and paid for us to stay at the most amazing B&B for a few days. It was a very nice small wedding, I'm not sure how much he spent because he owned the place that we had it at but still it was a sweet tip. I would say he spent somewhere around $5,000 to 10,000. He also sent a case of really nice wind from his vineyard in South Africa.
