Donnie Wahlberg leaves $2,020 tip on $35 bill
New Kids on the Block’s Donnie Wahlberg went out to a Sandwich, Massachusetts, restaurant and left a very generous tip on a $35 bill.
A Nov. 11 Facebook post from Marshland Restaurants and Bakery said he stopped by for lunch on Nov. 7 and tipped $2,020. The post included a photo of the receipt and “#2020tipchallenge” written under Wahlberg’s signature.
According to the restaurant, when Wahlberg was asked about it, he said, “Who’s up next?”
The bill total was $2,055.27.
This isn’t the first time it’s been publicly shared that Wahlberg left a tip for that amount.
At the top of the year, his wife, actress and TV and radio personality Jennifer McCarthy Wahlberg tweeted that he left a $2,020 tip on a bill at an IHOP in St. Charles, Illinois, on New Year’s Day. She also included the hashtag in her tweet.
