A server at a Tennessee Waffle House was shocked when she saw what was written on a customer’s receipt.
Lauren Ball from Kingsport, Tennessee, was finishing up her shift at around 4 a.m. when a customer walked into the Waffle House.
“I was ready to go home, I didn’t even want to wait on him but I was the only waitress working,” Ball told WJHL.
The 21 year old had no clue, however, what was about to happen.
Ball had recently paid for her 2-year-old son’s birthday party and was getting ready to leave for vacation in Florida with her father, so she was in a bit of a difficult place financially.
It was a Wednesday night and Ball thought that she might make about $30, or perhaps up to $60 if it was a good night.
The waitress had a nice conversation with two of the men she was serving and went outside to smoke a cigarette. One of the men followed her outside and told her that his friend was going to leave her a massive tip, but she didn’t buy it. When she went back inside, she was shocked to find out that he hadn’t been lying.
