David Beckham Blows A Wad
Of cash, that is…reports are that Davey Boy is a big tipper when it comes to restaurant service that he likes. For a tab of around $100, he left a $1000 tip while celebrating after a charity football soccer game with his teammates:
It was early November when a few boys from the LA Galaxy came to the Pub. They come in from time to time because the crowd at Joxer’s knows their football and nobody treats the boys too special. [...]
The team didn’t go party-crazy. The boys just had beer and pub snacks. David only drank mineral water. He’s much taller than I thought. Becks signed autographs for anyone who asked. [...] I asked for a picture and he had one of the players hold the camera! Can I just say he smelled so nice! Really! I hugged him so tight and he didn’t mind at all. Everyone was in good spirits.
When I gave them their tab, David snatched it away from his mates. They argued with him a bit but he just looked at them and told them to hush up. I know your website likes tipping stories so you’ll love this: The tab was about $100 and Becks had just added a zero to $1,000! - A $900 tip! I had to ask him if it was correct. He just said, “It is. Is Giggs still your favorite player?†“Not anymore!†On a day where the Galaxy played for charity, David really meant it! I know it’s not a windfall of cash but the tidy sum helped me fix my ailing car and get a cavity filled so it meant a lot to me. What a magical evening! Thank you, David!
Is this a common occurrence?
“David certainly tips well, usually because of good service,” said Beckham’s spokesman.
Now that’s what I’m talkinbout.
I know I’m hard on the Beckhams…I think Mad Posh is a bit too stuck on her own self-promotion and I’m not so sure Davey is all that bright (and sorry, I don’t think he’s the studly muffin most others seem to think he is), but I will say this about them…they do seem to be genuinely devoted to one another and to their childen, and if this story is true then that gets big props in my book. Waiters and waitresses work hard, it’s only fair to give them their due, and more if the service was exceptional. This certainly qualifies for a Breath Of Fresh Air Award!
(Mad Posh and RoboKatie, however, not so much. Boo, hiss.)
Hey, David…if you ever make it to Alfredo’s in New York, leave a good tip and tell them GlossLip sent you!

if you can believe that David is a good, nice man and so on..then why can you not believe that Victoria is good and nice too?? after all..David married her (and still married) and he loves her..for god sake!

Wish I’d had Beckham as a customer back when I was waiting tables instead of that cheapskate Elway.
