Waiter fired for posting photo of Peyton Manning's $333 tip on lunch receipt (but at least he was a generous tipper)
A waiter who posted Peyton Manning’s March 2 dinner receipt online may be glad that the NFL quarterback is a generous tipper.
Manning tipped $200 on a $739 lunch at The Angus House in Raleigh, North Carolina, after an 18 per cent gratuity was included in the sum, giving the server a generous 50 per cent tip.
The server – identified only as ‘Jon’ on the receipt – was immediately fired for posting the photo online.

Generous tipper: Peyton Manning tipped the server an even 50 per cent for his pricey lunch
Restaurant owner Van Eure told the Triangle Business Journal that posting the photo ‘goes against every policy we have.’
She called the breach of trust ‘horrible.’
Ms Eure said the restaurant often hosts famous clientele, and privacy is of the utmost importance.
She said that the server violated the privacy policy upheld by the restaurant, and she will place a call to Manning to personally apologise.
