"You're lying" - Waitress can't believe xQc's $1,200 tip
Considering an estimated net worth of around $10 million, xQc is no stranger to shelling out money, especially for charitable reasons. In his latest IRL stream, albeit a surprising one, the streamer was seen moving around California with a friend.
While cruising, they decided to hop into one of the many Californian outlets of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Although they ordered a couple of side dishes, Felix's main course was centered around a slushie. Despite that, the streamer went on to dish out a massive tip. He said:
"I'll do a randomizer, one to 1.2K."
Although there was only a slim chance that the random number generator would result in almost the entire amount, surprisingly, the final outcome was a tip of $1,197, which the streamer rounded off to $1.2K.
While presenting the bill, which included the tip, the streamer explained:
"Just to make sure, this is for you. It's on air. I had some randomizer giving you a random amount..."
The waitress, visibly moved by the gesture, said:
"You're lying."
Felix responded by explaining that she was rather lucky since the odds of getting the full amount were stacked against her. He added:
No, I'm not...and I'm not kidding, you actually got almost the maximum amount. I put one to 1,200, and you got like 1,197."
Fans share their reactions to the clip
The clip was quickly shared in the popular subreddit community r/LivestreamFail, which, at the time of writing, has over 100 comments. Reacting to the streamer's philanthropic gesture, fans shared a host of reactions. Here are some of the notable ones:
xQc is not the only creator to have tipped a mega amount to servers in eateries. MrBeast famously uploaded a video where he tipped a worker a whopping $30K for simply serving a glass of water.
