The stingy tip came from a group of four teenagers and it made the waiter question the way the teens’ parents raised them.
But 10 days later, a letter came that completely changed his mind.
“I’ve been serving a long time,” the waiter wrote. “Nothing like this has ever happened to me or anyone.”
The waiter added on Imgur, “These kids came back another day and left this for me at the front desk with $18 and some change.”
He also had a message for the teens themselves. “I don’t know how you learned or educated yourself on tipping, but I really appreciate the effort and kindness. I hope your Homecoming was fantastic!”
Now, the teens’ letter has gone viral, with people everywhere praising them and their parents.
