This is not the first time that the 'Blue Bloods' star has left such a deed.
In July 2017, for a meal of $82 (a little less than Rs 5,900) at Waffle House in North Carolina, he tipped his server $2,000 (over Rs 1.43 lakh). He shared the snap of the receipt on Instagram, and shared the reason for doing so. He wrote, "My mom waited tables, and my dad tended bars for years! So, when I walk into a #WaffleHouse, and the staff treats me like a king, you better believe I treat them like queens! Thanks to the team at @wafflehouseofficial Charlotte, NC!."
