Washington waitress given $1K cash tip hidden under red Solo cups
The grand tip was hidden under eight red plastic cups
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A waitress in Washington received a huge tip this week -- just days before restaurants had to shut down indoor dining.
Cassy Palmer, a server at The Village Bistro in Kennewick, Wash. was working on Sunday when she went to check out one of her tables.
She told KEPR that everyone in the group seemed normal, but when she got back to cash them out, there were eight red Solo cups upside down on the table.

Instead, they were surprising her with a $1,000 tip -- hidden inside the cups.
