Most bars automatically add a 20% gratuity and close out the tab for the customer.

The next day, when the person finally remembers where they left their card, it can be picked up with no issues.

However, sometimes a person has no idea where they lost their card.

Despite searching everywhere and calling around, they may end up realizing their card is lost and need to cancel it and order a replacement.

If you've ever lost a credit card, you know how frustrating it is to get a new one.

You have to wait for it to arrive in the mail, and then update all the accounts where you used the old card.

Recently, a Michigan bar managed to return a customer's card after he left it behind.

Michigan Bar Goes The Extra Mile For Customer

Sweet's Bar & Grill shared a heartwarming letter on their Facebook page from a grateful customer named RJ, who lives in Illinois.
