Waitress gets €10,000 Christmas tip
Waitress Sarah Nilsen got an early Christmas present in the mail this week: A €10,000 tip from one of her regular customers.
The cheque, made out to Nilsen’s 11-month-old son, came from an older widower who patronises the Newcomb Farms restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts, where Nilsen, 22, waits on tables twice a week.
The man, whom Nilsen would not identify, sits at the same table and orders the same meal every Wednesday.
Nilsen, who also works full-time at an insurance agency, said she has been talking to the man about her son Andrew since she took him to the restaurant when he was three months old.
Nilsen and her husband, Jeffrey, plan to put the money in Andrew’s college savings account. She said she’s sure Andrew will meet his benefactor at the restaurant many times.
