A viral photo circulating online shows NFL general manager, Joe Douglas, making a significant tip on a restaurant takeout order, inspiring others to do the same for struggling businesses in their communities amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
With many restaurants facing challenges due to restrictions that limit them to takeout orders only, they are missing out on the usual revenue they would have during normal operations.
Joe Douglas, the general manager of the New York Jets, has been making an effort to support local businesses by tipping generously. A recent photo captured him leaving a $100 tip on a $101.90 order at a restaurant.
According to a report from NJ.com, Douglas has been frequenting a local restaurant, River Grille, on Sundays and consistently leaving generous tips of $100 on his modest orders.
Despite the attention the story has garnered, Douglas has not made any public statements about his actions, indicating that his support comes genuinely and without seeking recognition.
Joe Douglas, who joined the Jets in 2019, is taking proactive steps to help the community during these challenging times.
