Good NewsCustomer leaves touching note, tip for waitress in honour of late brother’s birthday
A couple dining at Mac’s Grub Shack in Spring Hill, Tennessee, left a tip to remember.
After finished their burger, beers and hot dogs, they left a handwritten note scrawled on the back of the receipt for waitress Claire Hudson to find.
“Today is my brother’s b-day. He would have been 36 today. Every year I go eat his favourite meal (hot dogs) and tip the waitress his age. Happy b-day Wes.”
Sure enough, the couple left a $36 tip.
"I’ve been a server for several years and this is the best tip I’ve ever gotten," Hudson, 25, told TODAY.com. “Not because of the money, but because of the meaning.”
Hudson posted a photo of the note on Reddit.
"I love Reddit and felt like it was a great picture that should be shared," she said. “I had no idea it would get that much attention! I think it’s fantastic that so many people liked it, but I mainly wanted to share the sweet memory.”
Redditors were quick to share similar stories of celebrating lost loved ones.
“I’ve done something similar to this before. I lost a Super Bowl bet with my Gramma last year (damnit Broncos!) and owed her breakfast in return. We planned to grab breakfast Saturday morning at our favourite place,” wrote Reddit user TearsOfARapper84. “However, the Friday before she passed away with a text from me asking what time on Saturday unopened in her lap. I wound up going by myself the next morning, tipping the equivalent of her unordered breakfast and what the tip would’ve been with it included, and left a note on the back for the waitress explaining what I did. Every time I go back, she takes care of me regardless of what section I sit and I can tell that the act of kindness truly stuck with her.”
“I like the fact he does something to celebrate his brother every year, not really interested in the tip. My mum would turn 50 this year and I’ve been dying to try and arrange something to celebrate it, but I’m not sure anyone else would be interested, and this kind of things reassures me that I’m not just a complete weirdo for wanting to do that for someone who has been dead for over 10 years,” wrote knotatwist.
Hudson told TODAY.com that the owner of her restaurant is trying to track down the tipper to “find out what Wes liked on his hot dogs so we can add it to the menu.”
