Tom Selleck, famed star of the “Magnum, PI” and “Blue Bloods” series, left a $ 2020 dollar tip at an Italian restaurant in New York, apparently an example of the fast year yet to go.
Actor Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Selleck’s son in the series NYPD “Blue blood”, shared the news on Twitter. The bill was $ 204.68.
‘I found out my TV dad [Tom Selleck] generously accepted the # 2020TipChallenge at (the restaurant) Elios on the Upper East Side! I love your dad, ”wrote Wahlberg. “I didn’t start it, but I’m proud to be a part of it. THANK YOU to those who gave even the smallest extra amount this year. “
Wahlberg shared photos of the tip and a note that Selleck left for his server. “For Elios I honor my friend Donnie Wahlberg’s ‘tip challenge’ with my sincere hope for a better 2020. Thank you all, ”said the note from Selleck, which is in that series plays the role of NYC Police Commissioner.
Wahlberg told the magazine People that Selleck “never told him” and that the two “did three dinner scenes [Sangre Azul] since he did, and he never told me. “
The “challenge” of leaving a tip of $ 2,020 or some other very generous amount seems to have originated a year ago in Alpena, Michigan, where waitress Danielle Franzoni received a tip of that amount from a customer, along with a note that said “Happy New Year” and “2020 Tip Challenge,” said The Alpena News.
Franzoni, 31, got the tip while working Sunday at the Thunder Bay River Restaurant in Alpena. The credit card receipt said ‘Happy New Year. 2020 Tip Challenge.’ “Https://t.co/Z92K3wuiVD pic.twitter.com/QArhfQmZwb
