Best tip ever! Wade Davis' wife gives waiter World Series ticket as a tip
This sure beats getting tipped 15 percent: A waiter at a restaurant near Kansas City was handed a ticket to Game 1 of the World Series as a tip.
The customer? Katelyn Davis, wife of Kansas City Royals pitcher Wade Davis, the team's lockdown, eighth-inning reliever.
KMBC-TV in Kansas City says some of the Royals' wives hang out at Rock & Brews in Overland Park, which is 20 miles away from the stadium. That's where Davis was Tuesday afternoon before Game 1 when she gave a ticket to Ryan O'Connor, now the luckiest waiter in the country.
Via KMBC:
"I started to walk away when I dropped off their check after they paid, and they said 'Hold on, I was going to give you a tip, but instead we thought you might want this," O'Connor said. "And they said, 'you're going to sit with us, we're a pretty cool family.' "
"He was pretty blown away, a little bit shocked," said Rock & Brews employee Justin Olmstead. "He came back into the office and said, 'Do you guys mind if I have the night off?' And we looked at him, and he showed us the ticket he had in his hand. And we were blown away ourselves that he was able to have that given to him tonight. So we definitely accommodated him and let him have the night off to go celebrate with all the fans at the game tonight."
Just how much is that tip worth on the open market? Well, according to SeatGeek, tickets were selling for an average of $955 on the secondary market as recently as Monday. So yeah, much better than 15 percent.
The San Francisco Giants spoiled Kansas City's grand return to the World Series with a 7-1 win. That had to dampen O'Connor's night a bit, but hey, it's not like he paid for the ticket. Some people paid as much as $6,000 for prime seats.
Imagine how bummed they were to see the Royals lose.
