Shakira Edwards had spent the last three
0:38
years of her life juggling work in
0:40
school
0:40
she spent every cent which didn't go
0:43
towards her rent to paying off her
0:44
growing student loans it all started
0:47
when Shakira was serving a friendly
0:48
couple
0:49
the husband and wife were being warm and
0:51
chatty little did she know that wool was
0:54
just the start of their generosity
0:56
it seemed like the couple was so
0:58
impressed by Shakira's warm service that
1:00
they decided to leave her a tip of a
1:02
lifetime and just when she was about to
1:04
celebrate he stepped in as she started
1:07
to clean the table she stopped in shock
1:09
when she picked up the tip
1:11
was her sleep deprivation finally taking
1:13
a toll on her or did that tip actually
1:16
say that the lady had just given her
1:17
four thousand dollars check as a tip yes
1:20
her eyes weren't deceiving her and were
1:23
soon flooded by Tears of gratitude as
1:25
she made her to wait her manager's
1:27
office she had already formed a plan on
1:29
how to use the money she had resolved to
1:31
pay a portion of her student loan and
1:34
while still in need of cash had decided
1:36
to donate the rest to a non-profit
1:37
geared toward helping adolescents with
1:39
depression
1:41
when she recounted all that happened to
1:43
her manager he was dumbfounded and
1:45
stared at the check in disbelief his
1:48
eyes seemed only focused over the large
1:49
number on it and not on Shakira
1:52
his mind was on overdrive and after a
1:55
few minutes of awkward discussion he
1:58
carefully slid the check into his pocket
1:59
at first Shakira thought he was kidding
2:02
but when she laughed at him and asked
2:05
for it back he stated that the money
2:07
would stay with him until she agreed to
2:09
do him a favor instead of the joy she
2:11
felt earlier it was now mixed with anger
2:14
and Dread rather than hearing out what
2:16
her manager was going to say Shakira
2:18
left she needed time to comprehend what
2:21
was happening she went home and looked
2:23
online for similar stories of waitresses
2:25
being given huge tips despite the
2:28
turmoil she was facing it cheered her
2:30
spirits to know that so many
2:32
hard-working waitresses had been lifted
2:34
out of their dire situation by kind
2:36
people who were generous with tips but
2:39
nowhere did you ever find a manager
2:40
withholding such tips armed with
2:43
knowledge the next day shakiro went back
2:46
to work with a plan
2:47
to put into perspective what this four
2:49
thousand dollars tip means here is some
2:52
information
2:53
on any given week a waitress usually
2:55
earns between 298 dollars and five
2:59
hundred dollars this meant that she made
3:01
up nearly a month's pay in less than an
3:03
hour she knew she had to fight for her
3:05
right and risk conflict with her boss
3:08
when she asked him to elaborate shikura
3:11
was expected an unprofessional and base
3:13
reply but what she heard a practical
3:15
Next Step her manager wanted her to
3:17
track down the kind lady from that
3:19
morning and confirm if she had really
3:21
meant to write that amount on the check
3:23
confused and thrown off Shakira knew
3:26
that what her manager was saying made
3:27
complete sense she had never double
3:30
checked with the customers and would
3:31
feel wrong to take their money
3:33
so she went about remembering anything
3:35
she could which would help the search
3:37
for the couple but of course it was
3:39
rather hard since they weren't
3:40
restaurant regulars having spoken to
3:43
them only a few times tracking them down
3:45
seemed impossible and with it receiving
3:48
her four thousand dollar step while on
3:51
the surface
3:52
the requests seemed completely
3:54
respectable Shakira did wonder if this
3:56
might just be a ploy for her managed to
3:58
stow away the money for himself while he
4:00
visited Shakira with a fruitless mission
4:03
during her initial search on Grand tips
4:05
Shakira had come across many articles
4:08
which had gone viral and were read by
4:10
millions she decided that her story
4:12
could only be helped by the internet and
4:14
posted everything that happened on
4:16
social media she wrote and shared her
4:19
post with the world in the hopes of
4:21
finding the kind soul who gave her that
4:23
check however weeks passed and no one
4:26
came forward and with that Shakira's
4:28
hopes grew dimmer every day however
4:31
unbeknownst to her the post was gaining
4:33
traction while no one could locate her
4:36
mystery Tipper many people were outraged
4:39
at how the hard-working waitress was
4:40
being treated by her manager many
4:43
comments were directed towards Denny
4:45
which blamed the huge chain for creating
4:47
policies which allowed the manager to
4:49
withhold Shakira's tip
4:51
entered by her situation many people
4:54
spoke out on social media to the point
4:56
that even news outlets began to take
4:58
notice once the story reached local news
5:01
she was reached out for an interview at
5:03
first she was hesitant to go on TV but
5:06
her friends reminded her that maybe
5:08
through this the couple who had left the
5:10
tip might finally come forward Shakira
5:13
started out by expressing how
5:14
embarrassed she was to have to ask her
5:16
customers to show up to prove their tip
5:19
but Denny's management had refused to
5:21
allow her to accept it and implied it
5:23
must have been a mistake that someone
5:25
left such a huge amount as a tip to
5:27
Shakira if Denny's thought that this
5:30
interview would help their Public Image
5:32
they were proven wrong
5:33
anyone who saw the hard-working Shakira
5:36
pleading to the couple to come forward
5:37
was left annoying and angered at Denny's
5:40
for making this poor waitress jumped
5:43
through so many Hoops for a tip of a
5:45
lifetime
5:46
the main reason Watchers were Furious
5:48
was that there was no rule written or
5:50
otherwise saying that a waitress had to
5:53
get the contact information of someone
5:55
who tipped her let alone be
5:56
single-handedly be responsible for
5:58
tracking them down for approval
6:00
the public outcry had reached deafening
6:03
levels and Denny's as well as the person
6:05
who was in charge of the management had
6:07
to come out with a statement before the
6:09
problem became out of control
6:11
rather than apologies for their
6:13
inconsiderate actions the company
6:15
doubled down
6:16
stating that they would never withhold
6:18
any sort of payment from their employees
6:20
but they had the responsibility to make
6:22
sure their customers did not
6:24
accidentally pay more than they had to
6:26
Shakira's story had shown another crack
6:28
in the service industry in the United
6:30
States
6:31
unlike any other industry service
6:34
workers are paid at tipped minimum wage
6:36
this means that companies are allowed to
6:38
pay these work lower than the federal
6:40
minimum wage
6:42
this means that companies are allowed to
6:44
pay these work lower than the federal
6:45
minimum wage justifying this by stating
6:48
that customers should cover the rest
6:50
through tips Denny's assumed that their
6:53
statement would end the public rage but
6:55
it only increased it and led them to
6:57
invite Shakira to their headquarters a
7:00
meeting which was meant to calm the
7:01
situation but only left a bad taste in
7:04
Shakira's mouth the chain restaurant
7:06
advised her about the investigation
7:07
results they also said that they
7:10
understood that the dedicated server was
7:12
disappointed Denny's also published a
7:15
response to the media the statement that
7:17
Denny's release read we conducted a
7:20
thorough investigation into this matter
7:22
and have discovered the tip in question
7:24
was made an error it was a statement
7:26
that broke Shakira's heart into a
7:28
million tiny pieces Denny's went further
7:31
to explain that the elderly couple who
7:33
left the tip mistakenly gave the
7:35
stratospheric amount of
7:37
4451 and 61 cents instead of his
7:41
intended four dollar stem
7:43
this news understandably cracked
7:46
Shakira's heart the restaurant spokesman
7:48
later on said in a public interview that
7:50
Denny's was committed to both their
7:52
customers and their staff and that they
7:54
would present training to make sure that
7:56
their staff was properly equipped when
7:58
similar scenarios arise again in their
8:00
establishments
8:02
while the turn of events left Shakira
8:04
shattered and frustrated she knew that
8:06
it would have been even worse if she had
8:08
cashed in four thousand dollars from the
8:11
couple who clearly could not afford such
8:12
a lavish tip and while the answer wasn't
8:15
what she wanted to hear it all worked
8:17
out in the end
