Kasey Simmons, a 32-year-old waiter at an Applebee’s restaurant in Texas, was finishing up his shift one Thursday evening when a new customer walked in and ordered the cheapest item on the menu: a flavored water costing just 37 cents. It seemed like an ordinary order, but Kasey soon discovered this customer was about to leave a lasting impression.
After serving the drink with his usual cheerful demeanor, Kasey was surprised when he returned to the table to find a $500 tip and a handwritten note that simply read, “Thank you for being so kind and making our day brighter.” Kasey was stunned. Why would someone leave such a generous tip for a 37-cent drink?
Kasey had always been known for his friendly service and genuine care for his customers, often going above and beyond to ensure they left with a smile. His natural charm and positivity were part of the reason he enjoyed his job so much. But this extraordinary tip felt like it came out of nowhere, and he couldn’t help but wonder about the story behind it.
