I love seeing stuff like this. This group goes out to breakfast solely for the purpose of drowning their server in cash.
Richard Brooks, a lawyer out of Boston, is to be credited with this group's founding, but he, as any charitable man would do, gives credit for the movement to his brother.
Brooks started the $1,000 Breakfast Club earlier this year after his brother, Justin Brooks, mentioned he'd gone to breakfast in California with a group that left a stack of $100 bills for their server.
"For years, I've given out single $100 bills to people at random in appreciation for a job well done, or just to brighten their day," said Richard Brooks, 63, a lawyer who works in Boston. "More than anything, I've enjoyed watching the look on their faces as I hand them the money."
When his brother told him about his own $100 bill outing, "It just hit me that this was a great idea and I should do something with it," Brooks said.
Here's what they do: Brooks gets together ten people, sometimes more, and they each agree to bring $100 in tip money — hence, the $1,000 Breakfast Club. Sometimes they're the $1,400 Breakfast Club, sometimes $1,100, but they always surprise the heck out of the server.
Here's one example:
Isn't that just amazing?
That server has nothing to spend the money on besides bills, which is actually perfect. What a great thing to do!
Man, I think I wanna start one of these clubs now. Either that, or get a job working the local IHOP.
