The man was unfailingly kind when he was out for the night, but he regretted it the next morning
A drunk customer who put down a tip of £700 for a £42 meal returned to the restaurant the next morning to ask for it back.
The unnamed man was dining at the Thailicious restaurant in Edgewater, Colorado when he tucked into a meal which was so good he wanted to reward it.
But the waiter was stunned when the reward turned out to be $1,000, around £705.
He took it to his boss, Bee Anantatho, who was thrilled, but warned her staff to hold on to the money overnight.
She says the waiter's response was pure happiness.
“He said he’d read a lot of stories like this, but usually the tip is a couple hundred dollars, not $1,000,” she told the Denver Post , adding: “He was so happy.”
The next morning, the hungover diner returned with a red face.
“He said, ‘I’m sorry, I was drunk. He didn’t know he put all the money he had in the checkbook,” Ms Anantatho.
He paid the bill plus around £28 as a tip - meaning he left $100 instead of $1,000.
Ms Anantatho, who moved to Colorado with her husband Surachai Surabotsopon five years ago took to Facebook to explain .
"We've been opened for almost three years. Lots of unbelievable stories happened at Thailicious. This is one of the most memorable thing."
She added: "It might sound funny but for us it's our pride. We felt really good and never hesitated to return the money to our guest."
