When a retired New York woman left her $424,000 cashier’s check at a local pizzeria, she said she felt her “world just collapsed." That is, until an unlikely hero came to save the day: the very waiter she burned with no tip and a sassy note.
After looking at a condo she hoped to buy, Karen Vinacour, her daughter and a real estate broker went to the historic Patsy’s Pizzeria in Manhattan to grab a slice of their signature brick-oven pizza — the same pizza enjoyed by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Al Pacino and even Justin Bieber. Tucked in a white envelope was a cashier’s check with the money she received from selling her last apartment. Vinacour, 79, planned to use the funds to put a down payment on what she hoped would be her brand new home.
That day, Armando Markaj, a pre-med student working his way through school, was assigned to their table. As the group enjoyed their lunch on the busy Saturday afternoon, the mother-daughter pair pointed out to Markaj that, out of all the framed photos of the owners with affluent customers on the wall, there seemed to be very few women.
“Maybe women don’t eat a lot of pizza?” Vinacour recalled Markaj replying.
Vinacour and her daughter were not amused, or pleased, with Markaj’s response.
“Well, my daughter’s kind of feisty and she didn’t like that,” Vinacour told the New York Daily News. Instead of leaving behind a decent tip, the pair left a note that read, “I guess women don’t tip either.”
Unbeknownst to Vinacour, something else was left at the table as well: her half-million-dollar Citibank check.

It said she offered to give him the tip she stiffed him of before, but he declined. I guess he’s a gentleman. But she’s no lady.
That your mom be allowed to vote?

I tip 20 percent, more if she flirts ...
The destruction of Western civilization.
Mother and daughter sound like a couple of triggered b*tches.
Maybe there weren’t any famous women who ate at Patsy’s Pizzeria and therefore no pictures?
Not only that, she's actually going to be rewarded ....the owner of the pizzeria is going to put her picture on the wall of his restaurant.
Brija [restaurant owner] comforted her by pointing out all the photos of women on the wall that she didn’t see during her first visit, including former TV host Barbara Walters, First Lady Chirlane McCray and former City Council Speakers Christine Quinn and Melissa Mark-Viverito.
“And we’re going to take a picture here today with you, and I’m going to put that on the wall, too. So there will be one more," the pizza entrepreneur told her.
I hope the Russians nuke everyone in this story.
The Golden Rule is called golden for a reason.
Life has a lot of twists and turns that none of us could predict.
My wife very often says that she is ashamed of the things women do. Particularly abortion.
That may have only been a $4. Tip.
What the waiter was probably hoping for was a Reward, not a Tip. A proper reward for that? At least $100.
She and her daughter were acting b*tchy, and had no sense of humor during that first encounter. I’ll bet a full pizza (with everything on it) that daughter is a Hillary voter.
He did the right thing. The notoriety will earn him plaudits and a short windfall in tips. The two ladies come out looking like the miserly shrews they are. He gets a resume boost and a story to tell at interviews and dinners.
It’s just a natural fact, women are horrible tippers. They sit there waiting, white birds of prey until they can cackle out their favorite phrase “well, they’ve just blown their tip!”
And he gets to look in the mirror and feel
good about what he sees.
Priceless.
She looks like a typical Democrat.
Sorry, but you don't have a "solid credit history" when you stiff a bank for a loan, and don't even have a stable home address. The banks sure have a beter handle on the character of this lady than the AP reporter does.
I hope after this they apologized and give the girl a tip of around $100.
