[not this time] > **Donald Trump isn’t a cheapskate when it comes to good service.** > The real-estate mogul left a $10,000 tip on an $82.27 bill Monday at a restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., [Derober.com](http://Derober.com) reports. > > Billy D., a waiter at the Buffalo Club, got the gargantuan tip after the Donald complimented him on his dinner service, [Derober.com](http://Derober.com) reported.

"So if you’re reading this, Mr. Trump, thank you!” Pretty damn nice gift if you ask me. ---

Doesn’t make up for being a waiter you’re entire life. lol But I’m sure in other areas people can do pretty well on tips alone. ---

Nice cheap publicity for Trump since Celebrity Apprentice starts in a few weeks. $10,000 is cheaper than a bunch of ad spots on 2, 4, or 7. Marketing! ---

Why is trump signing anything? I would think he would have “people” to do that. Usually people at that level don’t want their name on any expense records incase they are questioned by the IRS about it.:biglaugh: ---
