        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This large, quiet, genial man wearing a Jets cap pulls up to River Grille in Chatham, N.J, on Sundays now, a golden retriever in the backseat, and uses his credit card to pay for the $101 order.</p><p>And then adds $100 for the tip.</p><p>The man’s name is Joe Douglas.</p><p>It is curbside pickup, of course, and bartender Ryan Holsten is there waiting with the Jets general manager’s order.</p><p>Does he leave $100 every time?</p><p>“He has the past two times. &#8230; I don’t want to scare him off from coming back (chuckle) or anything,” Holsten told The Post.</p><p>Douglas is the GM of a household with wife Shannon and three children — daughters Addison and Leighton and son Thomas.</p><p>“He gets a few kids’ meals, I think a burger. &#8230; I can’t recall everything,” Holsten said.</p><p>Holsten’s girlfriend, Cara Gaunno, <strong>posted on Reddit a photo</strong> Sunday of the check with the tip, with the last four numbers of Douglas’ credit card crossed out.</p><figure id="attachment_15440634"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/jets-gm-joe-douglas-tipping-big-time-amid-coronavirus-crisis.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/jets-gm-joe-douglas-tipping-big-time-amid-coronavirus-crisis.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/jets-gm-joe-douglas-tipping-big-time-amid-coronavirus-crisis.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Jets GM Joe Douglas tipping big-time amid coronavirus crisis</span><span class="credit">N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg, Reddit</span></figcaption></figure><p>“It’s got like 9,000 views already,” Holsten said.</p><p>Holsten lives in Berkeley Heights, N.J. His girlfriend lives in Warren. Asked if he is a Jets fan, Holsten said: “Yeah, I like the Jets a lot.”</p><p>Does he have a message for Jets fans? “Do better this year,” he said, and laughed.</p><p>What would Holsten tell Jets fans about their general manager?</p><p>“He’s a great guy, very caring, and he takes care of these local businesses,” he said.</p><p>The conversation between them is minimal, no doubt honoring social distancing during this COVID-19 crisis.</p><p>“Not too much,” Holsten said, “but he was very supportive to me and my pocket as well.”</p><p>But how did Holsten know that Douglas was Jets GM?</p><p>“He just looked like a big guy, and he had the Jets hat on, and he said his name was Joe Douglas, and we looked it up,” Holsten said, “and he had a golden retriever in the back of his car, and just seemed like a nice American guy.”</p><p>Imagine how delighted Jamal Adams, who yearns to be one the top-paid safety in his next deal, might be to read this. A Hall of Fame basketball center was known as The Big Dipper. Joe Douglas should now be known as The Big Tipper.</p>]]></content:encoded>
