BOULDER, CO — We may never know the name of a now locally famous tipper, but they sure have left their mark. The 'COVID Bandit' has left more than $10,000 in tips for Colorado restaurant workers.
The generous diner left a $4,600 tip for employees at Boulder's Flagstaff House on Sunday, the restaurant said.
The latest tip comes after the COVID bandit left a $1,400 tip at Notchtop Bakery in Estes Park in January and a $6,800 tip at Denver's Guard and Grace.
