Frankie Ballard Left a $100 Tip on a $22 Order
FRANKIE BALLARD paid it forward to a waitress in his hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan last week. Her name is Kourtney Kipp and she works at a place called Mancino’s Pizza and Grinders. He left a $100 tip on a $22.37 order.
She posted a photo of the receipt on Facebook, and her comments made it sound like she didn’t even have to wait on him.
Here’s what she wrote, “So tonight this guy casually walked in to pick up his order as I gawked from a distance asking myself if I’m really looking at who I think I’m looking at.
“He paid for his food and left this very generous tip. This guy is Frankie Ballard. The littlest things can turn somebody’s day around. The crew truly appreciated your appearance tonight, even if some of us were a little too star struck to say so.”
Here’s another one of those “before they were famous” stories, but with a really cool twist. “Modern Family” star ERIC STONESTREET worked in security at a GARTH BROOKS concert back in 1995. I know, I don’t picture him like that either.
Well, he recently went to a Garth concert and because he’s famous now, he got to hang out backstage. He brought some photos from that night that show him fiercely guarding Garth from eager fans . . . and he was pretty beefy, but young. (Yahoo)
In a recent interview, JOE NICHOLS talked about wanting a traditional sound for his album, “Never Gets Old”, which came out Friday. He did it by bringing in throwback sounds from artists like Don Williams, Randy Travis, and Keith Whitley.
