Two Herndon Restaurants 'Tip Bombed' Thursday

A waiter at Anita’s in Herndon is the latest target of a group of “tipbombers,” or everyday people who surprise restaurant workers with exorbitant tips to spread holiday cheer.

A group of coworkers, who asked to remain anonymous, picked up a $100 lunch tab at the restaurant Thursday and left a more than $500 “tip bomb.”

“The group would like to remain anonymous but want to share the story to try and get others to do similar this season,” according to the Patch user who submitted the photo above.

Another anonymous group of do-gooders “tip bombed” The Virginia Kitchen the same day, leaving a $1,200 tip on a $128 tab, Fox 5 reports.

Founded in 2003, Tipbombs encourages restaurant-goers to pick a small, cheap restaurant and tip bomb their server. “It’s easy, and will make you happy,” the website’s description reads. “Give it a try. We think you’ll like it.
