Florida waitress gets $800 tip from random diner
STUART, Fla. - A random customer at Southern Pig and Cattle Company in west Florida paid for the bill of a family sitting next to him, then left a lucky waitress an $800 tip, WPEC reports.
Michelle Trabilcy told the news outlet that she shared the tip with another waitress and they were both flooded with emotions.
"I was just overwhelmed. I wanted to cry. I was excited. You can feel hope and kindness. It really gave the overwhelming feeling that there are people out there that still care," Tabilcy told WPEC. "It’s been a hard year and we’ve all been struggling. It made us feel good."
