Woman Leaves $5,000 ‘Revenge’ Tip With Boyfriend’s Card

"I read about an incident at Clear Sky Beachside Cafe in Clearwater Beach where a Buffalo woman used her boyfriend’s credit card to leave a headline-generating $5,000 “revenge tip” on a $60 bill after a fight; the tip initially came across as an act of kindness and the corporate group said the waitress had recently put down her dog, but that proved not to be the case. The boyfriend says they argued about whether she could use his card to buy a flight to New York and suspects she was inebriated or trying to get back at him; after initially reporting the charge as fraud she admitted the purchase and handed over the credit card, but the restaurant had already paid out the $5,000 when the fraud was reported, and she has been charged with grand theft." - Chris Crowley
