Many servers in restaurants have been lucky to receive huge tips from generous customers during the holidays. This is a story of 4 different servers from various states in the U.S. and how they were gifted with a large amount of tips by kind-hearted customers they have served.
Waitresses Rachel, Rosa, Roxana, and Ashley had the best of the holiday season when they were given unexpected surprises.
- Rachel Barney from Cracker Barrel, San Antonio – $1,300 tip.
Celebrating the annual tradition called “Christmas Tip the Waitress,” Kevin Nies and his wife planned the occasion with their group of friends to “change someone’s life for a day.”
“Waitress Rachel is a single mother of 2 teenagers with no family in Texas,” Kevin shared.
At the celebration, more than 20 people attended the occasion and contributed a total of $1,300 on a $270 bill. Kevin shared a video of the event on his social media page, hoping that other kind-hearted individuals would do the same.

- Rosa from iHOP, Virginia – $1,900 tip.
A $1,900 tip for their server Rosa, was given by a group of 19 friends who enjoyed their breakfast at iHop.

- Roxana Salinas from Silver Diner, Columbia, Maryland – $910 tip.
Roxana admits that she cried when she was given a tip of $910 on a $25 bill.
- Ashley Sadler from Ocean Springs, Mississippi – $2,200 tip.
A group of 20 people each contributed $200 for tips that they have given to their server, plus 2 other invited people who could not make it, each contributed $200. The group wanted to “do something big that would change Christmas for their waitress”.
Ashley paid it forward and shared the money with her co-employees. $920 was left with her, and she planned to spend it on her children.

These 4 servers from different states had the best of the holidays. Thanks to the generosity of kind-hearted people who spread the holiday cheers!
