STAFF in restaurants always appreciate a customer who leaves a tip.

But staff at an Annacotty establishment didn’t appreciateĀ the teenage girl who walked up to the counter and made off with a fistful of money grateful customers had left in their tip jar.

In light of the theft, Limerick GardaĆ­ have warned of the need for shops and restaurants to secure charity boxes and tip jars to prevent opportunistic theft.

GardaĆ­ investigating are appealing to restaurants to keep tip money in a box or a jar with a lid on, and attach the box to the counter.
