      All who contributed dollar bills, plus Mr. Schmidt & all the volunteers deserve a well deserved round of applause. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Marines Toys for Tots programs are great charities.. Someone once said - A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child. Bless them all.

      There's a few places around America that follow this tradition. Some do it annually.

      It's a great story and I like reading about it. Good to see some good news for a change.

      Now this is a great story, the money is going to charity and not the government.

      Good move. They can spruce up the restaurant before the next coat of bills. They should probably do that once a year.

      Could not have made a wiser choice than ST. Judes ,I donate on a monthly basis,and encourage others to do the same ! Only takes a lot of people to give a little bit to add up to great things !

      You people really, really need to find somebody who can produce a cogent and appropriate headline. No "diner" peeled $10K off the walls. The owner of a "diner", along with a number of voluteers, removed the bills from the walls. We have a place here in Kona that probably has that much money stapled to the walls, too. Maybe more.

      Great gesture by the owner of the place. You are to be congratulated, sir!

        Yeah, I thought some customer had peeled the money off and given it away!
      • themerryprankster 3 mths ago
        That is the correct reading of the headline. LOL!

        I envisioned some "diner" finishing his meal, paying his bill, tipping his server, saying, "Thank. Great meal. Mind if I help myself to some of these greenbacks on my way out? Thought I might donate them to charity."

      The IRS will first tax it as income and then he will have to claim it as a deduction....isn't America wonderful
      • hero 3 mths ago
        you are pathetic.
      • Rich 3 mths ago
        Thumbs down to the IRS
      • Bzirk 3 mths ago
        America is wonderful. Just not the IRS.

      Obama says, "$10,000 of unreported income?? Let the auditing begin!"
      • samuraishonan 3 mths ago
        That is true, but now he can write off the donation, but the IRS will want to add penalties for not filing it originally.
    • Ghost  •  3 mths ago
      Around here there would have been a wall missing a long time ago !!
      • Vargas 3 mths ago
        Maybe not. When it comes to a common cause, sometimes people will surprise you.
      • Ghost 3 mths ago
        LOL, not here ! They would kill your grand mother for a dollar !!
      • coyote 3 mths ago

    • Jim  •  3 mths ago
      With all the ratbags here that place would have been cleaned out long ago.

      Why do conservative Republicans think that any of the current crop of Pres candidates in the R party will actually care about them or their families? Millionaire bumblers and control freaks who are stinky stuffed suits Arrogant double taking nonsense filled - press release filled- off shore money supported -SUPER PAC financed- stooges for big business. Taking from all hands and taking some more
