The beleaguered waitress had no idea her patrons were a phony band of “angels.”
It is challenging to work as a server in the restaurant industry. Spending so much time on your feet meeting client demands is taxing. Furthermore, the remuneration isn’t really commendable.
As a result, the diligent individuals who deliver our meals and beverages immensely appreciate tips. Please also grin at them.
A server in Michigan recently received a big tip, and her answer was so great that we can only be happy that it was captured on tape.
Chauncey Pearce works as a waitress at the Beltline Bar in Grand Rapids.
Her large tip came from Generosity Lunch.
What Exactly Is a Generosity Lunch?
Jonathan Mast founded the group. The purpose of the lunch program is to pleasantly surprise a waiter or waitress with a gratuity.
Everyone who plans to attend the luncheon must bring at least $100. Before lunch even begins, all of the money is collected. After everyone has finished their meals and is satisfied, the bill is brought to the table and the food is paid for with the money that was previously collected.
The tip for the server is the balance of the payment. It’s a lovely way to thank the diligent servers for their job.
Many former waiters and waitresses in this group wish they were still in existence!
So Chauncey gave 14 West Michigan residents lunch in Grand Rapids, Michigan’s famed Beltline Bar.
As seen in the video where they counted the meal bills, they each brought $100 to the table, and when it came time to pay for lunch, there was a considerable sum left over.
Thanks to additional anonymous gifts, the amount raised surpassed $1,700. Chauncey received a tip of $1,451 and change after paying for lunch.
She was so taken aback that she couldn’t believe it.
Chauncey went on to share her rent problems, but now that she’s found a solution, she’s grateful!
One of the spectators, Jayne, stated:
“Those who can afford it should do so.” This is a terrific idea that even one, two, or three people could use to actually make someone’s day brighter. Congratulations, everyone!
Do the math now, since that’s a hefty tip whatever way you slice it!
Whatever else Chauncey was stressing about seemed to be irrelevant at this point. See, servers like her smile at even the tiniest tip, so why should they be given such a large sum of money?
You understand, particularly if you have experience working in a restaurant.

Another viewer, who appeared to be Chauncey’s friend, commented:
“You deserved it, girl!” I reassured you that everything will be alright and encouraged you to keep your faith. I’m overjoyed for you, girl! And may God reward those who were so kind as to put this blessing on my friend! You people are truly angels.
And she is completely correct. These angels should be praised for their kindness and charity.
