West Virginia Waitress Receives $2,000 Life-Changing Tip

A single mother working as a waitress at DaVinci’s Restaurant in Williamstown, West Virginia, was left in shock after receiving a $2,000 tip on a $148 bill from non-regular customers. The restaurant owner, Chris Bender, described the tip as 'life-changing,' noting that the server does not have a phone and drives a car with spare tires, underscoring her financial challenges. The generous customers were moved by her story of sacrificing college to raise her daughter and suggested she use the tip for her education. The server plans to pay her rent and save the remainder, with both staff and patrons expressing their happiness for her. Bender emphasized that such a large tip was unprecedented at the restaurant and well-deserved due to the waitress's hard work and positive rapport with customers. The event has been widely celebrated as a heartwarming example of kindness and community support.
