\nA waiter in Los Angeles was serving four teens, really making sure that their evening was perfect. He then received a not so satisfying tip\u2026 The waiter was disappointed and upset that the kids and other people don\u2019t understand the custom of tipping well for hard work.\n
\n
He described on social media how he felt as a waiter when he only received a $3.28 tip from the teenagers:\n
\u201cNothing more frustrating than when I get little to nothing for a tip and the customer is smiling and thanking me profusely as they exit\u201d. But then something very unexpected happened!\n
Roughly one week later, he received a letter:\n
\u201cAbout a week and a half ago, on October 7, my 3 friends and I came to eat at this restaurant as our own homecoming celebration. It was an exciting experience for us to be here alone, and it was all new to us.\n
And you were the best waiter we could ask for. You were kind, helpful, accommodating, didn\u2019t treat us like babies, and were even able to fit the food to all my allergies! So I wanted to say thank you for making our \u2018grown-up\u2019 experience so amazing and fun.\n
I would also like to say sorry on behalf of my group. Since we were new to all of this, our 13-year-old minds didn\u2019t exactly know how to deal with the bill. You were super helpful in dividing the checkup and taking our not-so-preferable cash.\n
The bill was reasonable, but we had completely forgotten (and frankly didn\u2019t know) what a tip even was, let alone how much to give. So we emptied our pocked and all our money added up to $3.28.\u201d\n \u201cNot aware of how small this really was, we left, clueless of what we had left you for all your hard work.\n Later, we realized our mistake and felt HORRIBLE. We knew we had to make it right.\n So in this envelope, you will find the correct 18% tip + extra for simply being amazing. We appreciate your help and patience and thank you for making our night fun. Thank you!\u201d\n The bill was roughly $100, and a $3.28 tip is less than four percent! Thankfully, the teens realized their mistake and made sure to handle it appropriately.\n The waiter posted a picture of the letter online along with some inspiring and kind words:\n \u201cI\u2019ve been serving a long time, and nothing like this has ever happened to me, or anyone. I don\u2019t know how you learned or educated yourself on tipping, but I really appreciate the effort and kindness. I hope your Homecoming was fantastic!\u201d\n It\u2019s not every day that people go that extra mile to right their mistakes, but when they do it can make all the difference in the world \u2013 and this hardworking waiter truly deserved it!\n Source: interestingpages\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A waiter in Los Angeles was serving four teens, really making sure that their evening was perfect.
