We know how tough 2020 was and how this COVID-19 pandemic affected all of us. However, one Colorado man went out his way to make others smile during these difficult times.
According to CNN, a man by the name of David left a $1,400 tip at a restaurant, along with a note that read: “COVID sucks!” CNN says David left $200 for each of the seven people who were working the morning he went to eat at Notchtop Bakery & Cafe in Colorado.
“That brought truly tears to all the servers [and] cooks — you know, nobody ever thinks of cooks — the cooks were just so surprised and shocked. We were all shocked,” restaurant owner Nailya Khametvalieva told CNN. “We did thank him, but I felt like we didn’t do it enough.”
“In the morning, we were talking, like we need to make this money because we have to pay rent,” one of the Notchtop Bakery & Cafe servers explained. “It’s $200 to me, but it’s also $200 for my husband. It’s also $200 for my daughters, for things that we needed to make it.”
Talk about the gift that gives on giving, especially during times like these.
