Opposition leader awaits perjury trial ruling
A Houston waiter said a couple he has been serving for eight years left him a $5,000 tip after his car was ruined by high water.
Greg Rubar, who has worked as a waiter at D'Amicos Italian Cafe for the past 16 years, said he had previously mentioned his car problem to the couple and they came into the restaurant while he was working Saturday and handed him an envelope containing $5,000, KTRK-TV, Houston, reported Wednesday.
"They just came in and gave me money to buy a car, told me to go buy a car with it," Rubar said.
"I didn't even look at it. I was hesitant about it, but he said, 'No you take it and buy you a car!'" Rubar said. "People can be generous, you know? They told me they felt like I deserved this."
Rubar said he has not seen the customers, who wished to remain anonymous, since they gave him the gift, but he has a message for them.
"Thank you very, very much. I mean I did need it and I'm gonna buy a car with it; that's what that money's gonna go to -- every cent," he said. (UPI)

무슨 서비스를 했길래 팁이 거의 6백만원?
미국에서 한 웨이터가 8년간의 단골 손님으로부터 무려 5천달러 (한화 약 589만원)에 달하는 팁을 받았다고 UPI통신이 보도했다.
휴스턴의 드아미코스 이탈리아식 카페에서 웨이터로 16년간 일해온 그렉 루바 씨는 식당에 8년간 방문한 커플에게 자신의 차가 망가졌다고 언급했다가 이와 같은 선물을 받았다고 말했다.
이 커플은 26일(현지시간) 루바 씨가 일하는 도중에 갑자기 들어와 그에게 돈이 든 봉투를 건냈다.
“그분들이 갑자기 들어와서 돈을 주더니, 이 돈으로 차를 사라고 말하시더군”라고 루바 씨는 말했다. 그는 “사람들은 정말 관대할 수 있다”며 자신이 마치 이 돈을 받을 자격이 있는 것처럼 행동했다라고 말했다.
거액을 기부한 손님들은 이 날 이후 식당에 모습을 보이지 않았으나, 루바씨는 “정말 고맙다. 필요한 돈이었고 차를 사는데 쓰겠다”라고 감사의 뜻을 표했다.
