Man says he doesn’t remember leaving waitress $10,000 tip

“A British man who left a Chicago waitress a $10,000 tip later rejected by his credit card company claims he was drunk and doesn’t remember

leaving the huge amount on a $9 bar tab…But Leg Room owner Fred Hoffmann said (the man) seemed to be thinking clearly at the time, noting that the bar’s manager photocopied his

passport and had him sign a statement agreeing to the tip….The bar’s owners have pledged to give (the waitress) the money themselves because of the publicity generated by the incident.”
