Woman Finds Lost Check On Waiter She Did Not Tip

The waiter headed towards them, their food in hand. Her mouth watered as the delicious scents wafted into her nose, but despite the amazing food, her attention was set on the restaurant’s gorgeous interior.

She decided to ask the waiter about the decor, but he answered dismissively before walking away from their table. She rolled her eyes as she turned to her daughter, saying “He’s not getting a tip from me.” But little did she know that soon, her life would be in the waiter’s hands.

Sixty-year-old Kristy Jolly decided to take her daughter out to lunch that day. She loved eating out in New York and she wanted to celebrate Melissa’s new promotion at work.

Kristy was a single mom and throughout her life, she had been through a lot. While raising her daughter on her own, she had fought through some tough times. She was now a retired woman and all she wanted was to spend time with Melissa at every opportunity she could.

She was determined to enjoy her old age. But she had no idea that something would happen in that restaurant that would claim everything she had ever worked to achieve.

Something big happened. Melissa got her very first promotion at work and it was an occasion that Kristy couldn’t wait to celebrate! She and her daughter made plans to celebrate together at a fancy restaurant in Manhattan before they would cook dinner at home as a continuation of the celebration.

Their plans were made and soon the two of them met at a famous pizzeria and ordered their food. While they waited for their pizzas, something occurred that would set the events of that week in action

Lately, Kristy had seriously been thinking about redecorating her home. She had been grappling with what style she would settle for. When they first entered the restaurant, she couldn’t help but notice its warm and rugged country-styled decor.

She thought that it might be the best answer to her problem to ask the waiter about the decor’s name and designer. But little did she know that this simple question would give her sleepless nights.

The waiter approached Kristy and Melissa with their food. As he served them, Kristy asked him about the decor, but she wasn’t expecting his response.

He answered curtly, “I don’t know what to tell you, ma’am. Ask the manager, thanks.” He tried to force a smile but failed before storming off. Kristy frowned. That was no way to speak to a customer. She was determined to teach him a lesson.
