Waiter Puzzled When Boy Hands Him $100K, Then Turns Around And Sees Nine Officers

Critical Point

In a state of frozen inaction, Darell Scott stood completely motionless. Neither his thoughts nor his words were clear to him. He stared blankly at the $100,000 cheque he was grasping uneasily, seemingly provoking him to make a move.

The eight-year-old Jonathan Smith had been a close friend of Darell’s for months, but Darell never could have imagined that their relationship would reach such a point. Was this a blessing in disguise? Or was it something that would end up changing his life forever?

His Go-To Eatery

In November 2018, Darell surprisingly learned that the waffle house he loved so dearly was now up for sale. Despite working all his life to accumulate savings to buy his very own house, he couldn’t pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In spite of the fact that it would cost him everything he owned, it seemed like the ideal solution for him.

An Everyday Occurrence

Darell opened his checkbook right there and then, and over the following months, he had spent many hours renovating the place into an establishment he could be truly proud of. He met Jonathan, and his mother, Teresa, soon after.

Due to their frequent visits, Darell knew them as regulars. It didn’t take long for him to start blossoming a friendship with 8-year-old Jonathan, with whom he shared a love of waffles.

Served Them Himself

Darell always made serving little Jonathan and his mother his primary concern when they arrived.

In addition to cracking jokes with the young man, he looked forward to listening to Jonathan’s various interesting stories. Darell served them himself for other reasons tool. Both of these patrons were absolutely essential to the survival of his store.

It would be impossible for him to make ends meet without their continual support.

Perfectly Normal

The family never once gave Darell any reason to be apprehensive. It was always an absolute pleasure to work with them, and they tipped more than generously, especially when the father was around.

As a long-time trucker, he spent the majority of his time on the road. As a result, he always made the most of the little time he was able to spend with his family.
