And finally…Bill-y big-time

However, the workforce at Thailicious in Edgewater, Colorado, where left disappointed when he sheepishly reappeared the next day to retrieve his $1,088, claiming that he had drunkingly given it to them by mistake.

He explained that after drinking a little too much he had mistakenly stuffed the cash inside the checkbook, the local Denver Post reported.

“We were like, ‘He must be a millionaire,’” eatery owner Nithiwadee Anantatho told The Denver Channel. How did she feel after handing back the cash? “Like someone told you that you won the lottery, but it’s not.”

“I asked him, ‘Did you put it in the checkbook?’ He said he wasn’t sure about it because he was a little drunk,” she added. According to Fox News, he said he accidentally handed over a stash of $100 bills instead of $1 notes.

Thai-born Anantatho, also known as Bee, immigrated to the U.S. with her husband, Surachai Surabotsopon, five years ago. She said she was “disappointed” for her staff.

Luckily, she’d told her employees to keep hold of the money and they were able to pay the man back immediately. He ended up leaving a still-generous $40 tip, and Anantatho is confident that she dealt with the awkward situation in the best possible way — and that the man will return as a customer.

“It’s just the way it is,” she said.
