(CNN) It all started with a server in small-town Michigan. Now, people across the country are tipping their servers a little bit extra in honor of the New Year. It's all part of the 2020 tipping challengeThe trend began last week, when Danielle Franzoni, a server at a restaurant in Alpena, Michigan, received a $2,020 tip on a $23 bill. She then paid it forward, tipping $20.20 on her dinner bill that same week. Then on New Year's Day, restauranteur and former "New Kids on the Block" crooner Donnie Wahlberg surprised Bethany Provencher, his server at IHOP, with a $2,020 tip on his $78 check.
