Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.... on Pierce Brosnan
"One afternoon, when I was working in a popular `Ocean' restaurant in Manhattan, in walks Pierce Brosnan with his then girlfriend, his mother, daughters and other family members. He had a wonderful lunch - only to leave a 10 per cent tip. This after the restaurant stayed open an extra two and a half hours to accommodate them" - Suz
... on Sean Penn
"In 1993, I was working as a waitress at a nightclub in New York. My shift was over at 1am, but my boss asked me to stay late because Sean Penn was coming in. I waited on him for three hours. Everything was on the house. At the end of the night he did not even tip me... nothing. Before he was about to leave, I had the DJ play a Madonna song. I hope it brought back some nice memories for him" - Desjes
... on Greg Norman
"I was valet parking cars at Akron's Quaker Square Hilton during the World Series of Golf. Most of the golfers tipped very well - $5 or $10. However, as I gave Greg Norman his car, the comment I got was: `Catch you later, mate, I don't have anything small on me.' Hey Greg, you did have something small on you - your courtesy" - Todd
... on Rudolph Giuliani
"I worked at a restaurant where we have held parties for 200 lawyers from the DA's office. One day, our mayor came for lunch. He ordered one of the specials. but when he was served, he was mortified at the presentation and yelled at the staff. He demanded it be sent back, insisting it wasn't what he wanted (it was) and that he wouldn't return (he did)" - Jessica
