Posted January 22, 200817 yr Jon Bon Jovi tips Sydney waiter $600 IT WAS a serious way to say Have A Nice Day when visiting US rocker Jon Bon Jovi left a young Sydney waiter the biggest tip of his hospitality career. Proving his generosity is as sizeable as his spiky '80s mullet once was, the veteran guitar god left staff at Woolloomooloo noshery Manta singing his praises when he casually served up a $600 tip for waiter Tristan Tomlinson. After jetting into Sydney on Sunday and checking into the Blue Hotel at the Finger Wharf, the Bon Jovi quartet and 10 crew cruised down to the restaurant strip for a bite. Clearly peckish, the lads cleaned the celebrity-favoured haunt out of lobster and mud crab. They then left a tip to match the size of their appetites. "It's the biggest single tip I've ever received in the four years I have worked here," a chuffed Tomlinson, 28, told Confidential yesterday. "To get $100 is a bonus so this was pretty substantial - it was a really nice surprise." Far from making any rock-star demands, Bon Jovi was relaxed, casual and "just wanted to be treated like anyone else," Tomlinson said. Fellow diners were fairly oblivious to the rock royalty in their midst on Sunday night. But a small crowd of eager Sydney fans gathered on the wharf while the band ate ravenously, patiently waiting to ask for autographs. Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson may have hoped to do just that after attending promoter Paul Dainty's private box to watch Bon Jovi rock the Acer Arena last night. No slouch in the area of politics himself, Bon Jovi is celebrity besties with US presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5852026,00.jpg http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5007132,00.html
January 22, 200817 yr Does this mean we can all disguise ourselves as catering staff when they go abroad and get rich quick? :naughty: Hope the waiter spends it wisely.
January 22, 200817 yr Thats really nice of him :) I've always thought it would be a good idea to do waiteressing etc at some place that the celebs go to, I mean not only would you get to meet a hell of a lot of stars, but your tips would be fabulous!
