Waiter gets a $750 tip from a customer

Fortunately, there are not only negative stories in the world, but also those that leave a sense of hope, that make one think, that serve as an example. Like the story of a simple waiter, which we will tell you today.

Today in the digital and virtual age, people are increasingly distant, and what happens to others seems like a distant, distant episode. Empathy, generosity, reaching out a hand, seem to have become a distant chimera.

Fortunately, every now and then we hear some story that moves us, that awakens the soul from torpor and that warms the heart. In a working day like any other, a waiter, Ben Millar 22-year-old who lives in Houston, Texas, was the protagonist of a beautiful gesture of solidarity.

The waiter was serving a table client, and chatting between one course and another they met.

The generous gesture of a restaurant customer towards a waiter

The customer, who was called Jeffrey, was returning from Ireland, Ben's home country. Hearing this news, he was struck by nostalgia, and told the customer that he was born in Ireland and that he left his parents there, but unfortunately, due to the excessive expense, he did not have the opportunity to buy tickets and be able to return to find them.

Furthermore, Ben was about to become the father of a child who could not have known his grandparents. At this point Jeffrey who had listened carefully to the waiter's story, when it was time to pay the bill, left an envelope for Ben. When his colleagues deliver it to him, to Ben's astonishment he realizes that the customer, in addition to having paid the bill, had left 720$ for him, in the hope that the money would help him and his family to return to Ireland and embrace their parents again.

When Ben returns home, his wife moved by the selfless gesture of an unknown person, she wanted share history, to make the world understand that goodness and altruism still exist.
