We always hesitate on how much we should leave for a tip to the waitress at a restaurant. But those two customers at Busboys & Poets in Washington DC did not think twice about their decision, they even targeted a lot, much higher than the average pourcentage.
Rosalynd Harris is a black waitress who has had to serve a table of white men wearing cowboy hats. Only a few days earlier, Rosalynd had participated in the Women’s March; The men were in town for the inauguration of Donald Trump.
An Unexpected End
Keeping in mind that these men have different opinions during such a critical season, this situation could turn into discomfort. However, everything took an unexpected turn and became quite the opposite of what she thought.
The men left and Rosalynd went to the table to clean and at that time she could not believe it when she saw the numbers on the receipt: a $ 450 tip for a $ 72.60 bill. But with this huge tip, a note.
“You automatically assume that if someone supports Trump, that someone shares same ideas as Trump ,” Rosalyn said. “But (these men are) more unifying than even some of my more liberal friends and there was genuine authenticity in our exchange. That definitely changed my point of view. Republicans, Democrats, Liberals are all subcategories to what we are living. This message is very hopeful. ”
An Inspiring Men
“We all have the American spirit,” said Jason White, the man who left the tip, “and it’s really our duty to make America great, not just one person. And it’s by respecting each other and loving us, it does not matter if we agree with them or not. ”
Rosalynd, who is a professional dancer, was about to move to a new apartment, but was concerned about being able to pay the initial fee. She said tipping was “a huge less weight on my shoulders”.
This act of kindness has received many praises from many Americans. It is seen as a source of hope, while it seems that the world is becoming increasingly stingy on generosity and love. We must remember that a thoughtful little gesture can make someone else’s day.
