And today's last word in business has someone who's doing okay in the recession. The word is: big tipper. An unnamed banker in London dropped by a nightclub with a few friends this week, where he spent more than $60,0000 on champagne. That included a tip for Anna, his very lucky waitress. The tip was worth more than 8000 American dollars. That's one worker who went home happy this week and we hope your week ends on equally positive note. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
