Anonymous Man Is Tipping Fast-Food Workers $100 Bills For The Holidays

There is apparently a very generous man roaming the streets of Hyannis, Massachusetts. An anonymous donor that "resemble[s] Santa Claus" is going around the fast-food restaurants of Hyannis and leaving $100 bills for every single employee, according to the Cape Cod Times. These mysterious gifts seem to be an effort to spread some holiday cheer, as the crisp $100 bills are placed in white envelopes that are stamped with "Merry Christmas" on the front. The man has been to five fast-food restaurants so far: a local coffee shop called Marylou's, two Dunkin' Donuts, and two McDonald's restaurant, reports the Boston Globe. None of the restaurant workers recognize him, and he always makes sure to leave a holiday gift for every employee. At the coffee shop, the man approached the assistant manager and asked how many workers were employed there - when she told him how many, he proceeded to pull 15 envelopes from a large stack, so that every employee would get an envelope. And this is not the first time this has happened. A mysterious donor comes around every year before the holidays to hand out envelopes with generous tips - last year it was $50 through a woman acting on "Santa's behalf," according to Eater. Although large-scale tipping is not too uncommon - in July, two men went around handing $100 tips to fast-food workers - it is a heartwarming story in the wake of the fast-food workers strike for better wages.
