Ex-NFL Receiver Chad Johnson Leaves $1000 Tip At Florida Restaurant After It Reopened

The coronavirus pandemic forced many restaurants across the country to close and lose significant business. Once one Florida restaurant opened back up, former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson made sure that he helped out. 

On Monday, after receiving his bill, Johnson left a $1,000 tip and a note which he later posted on Twitter. The note said “Congrats on re-opening, sorry about the pandemic, hope this helps. I LOVE YOU.”

Restaurants in Broward County had been allowed to reopen with limited dine in service on Monday with 25% capacity, as they had been closed for about two months due to the pandemic. If a restaurant has outdoor seating, all tables must be placed six feet apart.
