Few stories of benevolence and selfless service would stir your heart.
We always hear all kinds of restaurants stories, how demanding customers can be, or how degrading some of their comments are. But often, we also come across some heartwarming tales that warm your heart. Your servers are always slogging to get the best to your tables and seldom do we appreciate their hospitality. But there are many who thought about itand gave the most generous tips to their servers. Here are some of those heartwarming stories.
The kind-hearted couple who left $500 as a tip.
Kristen Ruggiero was working as a waitress in a restaurant in Rhode Island. A single mother with three children had a tough time making her ends meet. One day, a couple came to the restaurant and ordered a pizza, a beverage, and a salad. At the time of payment of the bill, they left $500 for the payment of the $42 bill. At first, Kristen thought it was a mistake and, on the couple’s next visit to the restaurant, she returned the money. But the couple surprised her by telling her that there was no mistake and it was her tip. She was extremely grateful to the couple for such a generous tip, which helped her pay her bills and a trip to six flags with her kids.
The last wish.
A man named Aaron Collins died tragically at 30 years of age, left a stipulation to his will. He wanted his family to tip $500 in a restaurant because he saw his friend pulling herself through school by working as a waitress. Since he didn’t leave any money, his brother set up a website to collect donations. To his and his family’s surprise, the website flooded with donations that they were able to leave $500 tip in not only one restaurant but several restaurants across the U.S.A.
Tip that can make you a millionaire.
One of the mosttalked-about tipping stories around. A waitress named Phyllis worked in a restaurant where a police officer named Robert Cunningham (who was a regular customer) offered half of his lottery ticket instead of thetip. In good humour, Phyllis agreed. Long story short, Robert actually won the lottery and shared the prize money, which was $6 million with Phyllis.
So, how much do you tip your server?
