Heather Foster, a bartender at The Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans, received a $2,000 tip from Post Malone during the Super Bowl. But at first, the payment processing company Square wouldn't process the full tip.
After her story went viral and our community pushed for answers, and we just found out that the tip will be processed. Heather says she's cried tears of joy and will be saving the money.
A Square spokesperson issued the following statement.
“While our systems initially limited the max tip in this scenario, we’ve corrected this and ensured they've received the full $2000 tip given. Some sellers are subject to tip limits to protect them from fraud and other bad activity – but great local businesses like The Howlin’ Wolf shouldn’t be among those, and we’ve ensured they won't run into similar issues with generous patrons going forward.”
