Trump drops $500 tip at Philly cheesesteak restaurant as possible VP name pops up in crowd interaction

Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected campaign stop at Tony and Nick's Steaks Saturday in Philadelphia, where he polled his supporters about who they would like as a potential vice presidential candidate.

Former President Trump made an unexpected campaign stop Saturday at Tony and Nick's Steaks in South Philadelphia before a rally at Temple University in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Trump reportedly made an impression not only by tipping $500, but also by writing “no taxes on tips” on the receipt. The former president recently campaigned to end taxing service sector workers' tips.

“It was just amazing,” Nicky Lucidonio, owner of Tony and Nick's Steaks, told Fox News Digital. “He was talking to people, you know, they're asking questions. He's answering them. He's signing hats. He signed and everything.

“We're all taking pictures with him. What a great man, you know. We're all here to support him. You know, in November we have to get him in.”

Lucidonio said Trump's visit was unexpected and that he only knew of one woman who came Friday afternoon to place a large and mysterious order.

“This lady came with a group of people and she said, 'I got a big order for [Saturday].' I said, “Okay, that’s great,” you know… And it was like I would say about 200 sandwiches.

“Wow, 200 cheesesteaks. I said, 'Great, who's that for?' She wanted to help me. She said it was for special people.

A prepaid order and generous tip from the former president wasn't the only surprise Trump had in store for his visit to Tony and Nick.

Lucidonio expressed frustration with the taxation of restaurant workers' tips, saying, “You know, people have to wonder. They're working out there in 100 degree weather.”

“People put tips in our jar, you know, and then taxing those tips that these poor people live on day to day is a joke. I mean, what else do you want to tax? It's crazy,” he continued. “I mean, we go out there, we do all the hard work, we're out there, and we work hard 15 to 20 hours a day for our families.
