Kasey Simmons, a 32- year-old waiter at an Applebee’s restaurant in Texas, got a very generous tip from an anonymous customer who ordered “the cheapest thing on the menu.” It was flavoured

The mystery was solved the following day when Kasey received a letter at the restaurant. It was from the customer who left the generous tip, revealing a touching story that left Kasey deeply moved. A few days earlier, Kasey had encountered an elderly woman at a grocery store who seemed distressed and overwhelmed. Her hair was unkempt, and her eyes were filled with tears. Many people passed by, but Kasey felt compelled to offer his help.

Approaching her with kindness, he asked if there was anything he could do to assist. The woman, named Joyce, was taken aback by Kasey’s genuine concern. She shared that it was the anniversary of her husband’s death, a day that was always difficult for her. Kasey listened empathetically and offered comforting words, even buying her groceries as a small gesture of kindness.

Unbeknownst to Kasey, Joyce was the mother of the customer who later visited him at Applebee’s. After hearing about her mother’s encounter with Kasey and how much it had lifted her spirits on such a difficult day, the customer wanted to express their gratitude in a meaningful way. The $500 tip was not just a reward for excellent service but a heartfelt thank-you for Kasey’s compassion and kindness.
