Well, even more readers shared their own celebrity tip experiences. Here are all of those stories: The people who shared their stories allegedly speak from personal encounters. Obviously, we weren't there when they happened, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt. 1. "Bruce Willis always tipped extremely well and signed autographs for almost everyone. Great guy! I'm really sorry his health is deteriorating. Love you, Bruce!" Jeff Spicer / Getty Images -Anonymous, 75, Las Vegas 2. "Miley Cyrus is not only kind but also low maintenance, and she tips very well. She came into my restaurant in Nashville with a very large party and ordered veggie fajitas. Nothing changed or modified, got everything just as it came. Asked for a box for her leftovers. Tipped 200% and was a sweetheart." TheStewartofNY / GC Images -groovinandmovinnn 3. "I waited on Brooke Shields with two guests at a restaurant in NYC back in 1980. She had just been in Blue Lagoon, and truly was America's sweetheart at the time. She was pleasant and cheerful. She left a 30% tip, and I felt great about having served her." Daniel Knighton / Getty Images -Anonymous, 66, Sarasota, Florida 4. "I had a friend who waited on Jennifer Lopez right after she got super-famous. She and her entourage allegedly ran my friend ragged, insulted him, held up the table for 3+ hours, and completely stiffed him on the tip. He was a great server, and she was a nightmare." Frank Micelotta Archive / Getty Images -insertwithere 5. "I have waited on multiple celebrities in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival. Most of them were very nice and tipped generously. My biggest tip, percentage-wise, came from Steve Carell. He and his family were kind and down-to-earth and were a pleasure to serve." John Nacion / Variety via Getty Images -Anonymous, 46 6. "Jay-Z came into a club where I was working bottle service. Not only was he rude, but he also did not tip." VALERIE MACON / AFP via Getty Images -Anonymous, 45, Toronto 7. "I served Rob Lowe at One Fifth in NYC in the early '80s. He left a $100 tip on a tiny bill. He was funny, very nice, and respectful to me and the staff." Monica Schipper / Getty Images -Anonymous 8. "I was working as a cocktail waitress in the '80s in Merrillville, IN, when Irene Cara was the headliner. She came in with several others a few minutes before closing. They ordered piƱa coladas, daiquiris, and a variety of other fancy drinks. As I moved towards them, one of the people brushed up against my tray and knocked the whole thing over! I cleaned up the mess, got them all new drinks, and didn't get home until after 4 a.m. They left a ZERO tip!" Chad Buchanan / Getty Images -Anonymous, 66, Montrose, CO 9. "Back in the '80s, I was a doorman at a posh Philadelphia hotel. Larry Holmes was an expected guest. Upon his arrival, he checked his bags and went to the hotel restaurant. He was a really nice guy. They had a tie policy for men at the restaurant. My idiot British bosses didn't recognize him and asked him to leave the restaurant. Larry was upset, had me get his bags, gave me $50, and went to the hotel across the street. My boss had the nerve to be mad at me for not telling them who he was." Paul Morigi / Getty Images -Anonymous, 65, Portsmouth, VA 10. "Cole and Dylan Sprouse tipped me 30% the other day. They were my lowest maintenance table all night." Leon Bennett / Getty Images -Mtntop24680 11. "My coworker served Jack Black, and I helped run the food to the table. He tipped $300 on a tab of around $500. He was also very nice to everyone, said goodnight to me on his way out." Kevin Winter / Getty Images -uglypandaz 12. "I flew Bob Hope and his very nice wife from MI to two airports in NY. They were very kind and gracious to me and the other pilot. A week later, we both received sets of his signature 'Thanks for the Memory' cocktail glasses." Silver Screen Collection / Getty Images -Anonymous, 72, NC 13. "I served Dave Chappelle a few times when I was a teen. This was during his Chappelle Show run. He tipped me $40 to help load his groceries into his car. I worked at a grocery store as a bagger." Arturo Holmes / Getty Images -Anonymous, 40, Ohio 14. "Waited on E-40 and his wife a few times at Cattlemen's years ago. I'm a huge fan, but I never asked for anything. They were always humble, low-maintenance, and generously left 40-50%." Paras Griffin / Getty Images -Anonymous, 41, Livermore, CA 15. "I was a server in Midtown Manhattan near Times Square for years. I've served a lot of famous people. The worst tipper is Jane Fonda. She came into our small Irish pub with Sally Field for lunch. Everyo
