Waiter Was Tipped $500 For An Act Of Kindness

By Timfly

 

It was a seemingly small thing that Kasey Simmons had done, the kind of thing you wouldn't really dwell on if you did it and yet the sort of thing few people would think to do.

But as a  CNN story detailed, the 32-year-old's small act of kindness would prompt a remarkable display of gratitude.

On Monday, Simmons, a waiter at a Dallas-area Applebee's, was buying groceries at his local market when he noticed an older woman in the checkout line, obviously anguished.

He watched as other customers passed her by, but decided to approach her. Before long they were talking.

She didn't tell him what was wrong, but her mood seemed to rise and he paid her $17 grocery bill.

The next day, Tuesday, Simmons retrieved the completed tab of a customer who'd only ordered flavored water, the cheapest thing on the Applebee's menu.

The charge was only 37 cents. But the tip? $500.

 

The customer had also left a note, scrawled on a napkin.

The tip had come from the anguished woman's daughter, her way of saying thank you for bringing cheer to her mother's day.

And a significant day it had been: It was the third anniversary of the woman's late husband's death.

"On one of the most depressing days of the year ... you made my mother's day wonderful," the note said. "You insisted on paying. Told her she is a very beautiful woman. I have not seen this woman smile this much since dad died."

It was the last thing Simmons expected after his gesture.

"It was only $17, but it's not about the money," he told the network. "It's about showing someone you care."
