This week has already been heavy for me, and today at work I was just doing my job, waiting on tables like always.
When I went to check on one of my tables, the lady asked me:
Lady: “How much would you like for a tip?”
Me: “Whatever you give me is fine.”
Lady: “What do you need?”
Me: “Nothing.”
Man with her: “How old are you?”
Me: “24.”
Him: “Do you have kids?”
Me: “Yes, a son. He’s 4.”
Her: “If he needed something, how much would it be?”
Me: “He needs a lot, I’m not sure.” (I smiled and walked away.)
Her: “Do you pay all your bills?”
Me: “Yes, ma’am.”
Her: “If you had to pay a bill today, what would it be?”
Me: “Rent.”
Her: “How much is your rent?”
Me: “$375.”
Her: “Okay, I’m leaving you a $375 tip. I’m paying your rent for August.”
Y’all, I couldn’t do anything but cry. 😭🙏 This was such a blessing in disguise. ❤️
