Picture: Barack Obama drops a whopper of a tip for a grilled cheese sandwich

He's the leader of the free world, but he still likes a good old fashioned grilled cheese. Sure what more could you want

He’s the leader of the free world, but he still likes a good old fashioned grilled cheese. Sure what more could you want

Barack Obama is a busy man. He’s got a country to run, a family to spend time with, you know, things to do that are important. So when he wants a grilled cheese, you better give the man a grilled cheese.

But that’s not to say he doesn’t appreciate it when he gets it, and doesn’t know good service when he sees it. He’s a people person, he gets it. That’s what the lads at Magnolia’s Deli & Cafe in Rochester, New York experienced this week, when they were well rewarded for their service with a very healthy gratuity.

The President got some grub in for himself (a grilled cheese) and a few soups for the secret service lads, and left the 20% tip in the bill, as well as adding an optional $30 to boot, taking his total to just under $47. Not a bad tip for whoever was serving POTUS that day.
