Eighteen year-old Abigail Sailors chatted with her customers she was saving her earnings for college, and she was surprised with the tip they gave her. This article was featured four hours ago today (1/6/14) on Yahoo! Shine, written by Lauren Tuck of the Shine Staff.
Apparently these two guys went to a Cracker Barrel (the one Sailor's works at) in Lincoln, Nebraska searching to find a grumpy waiter that they could cheer up. Instead, they were accompanied by the most cheerful of the delightful waiters, Abigail Sailors, who after chatting with, they learned that despite her rough past she is a determined optimist doing the best she can to pay for her tuition at Trinity Bible College. Turns out that one of the men revealed himself to be part of the Trinity Alumni, and then tipped her $100, also throwing in a $5000 check for her schooling and a another $1000 for whatever else she needs. Needless to say, if her glass was half full before, it's filled to the brim now.
Overall, the news article was a good read. Maybe I shouldn't overlook becoming a waitress, huh?

This is really sweet. It gives me hope for society.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great story. That was an incredibly kind thing to do. It would be nice if this sort of thing happened more often.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible. This shows that you never know who you meet and how important they are.
ReplyDeletewow, i'm gonna become waitress. but really, it's good to know that there are some genuinely kind people still left in this world
ReplyDeleteThis is a really wonderful story. It's nice to know that there are still good people out there, beneath all the other sad stories the news is filled with these days.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of him. It's always important to try and leave all your problems aside when you're encountering others. I feel it's wrong to ruin people's day w/ a bad attitude Even though you do have your own problems, they have theirs too. And people appreciate it when you do that and like being nice. And I liked the part about the grumpy waitress.
