SALT LAKE CITY, UT (KTSU/CNN) – A slow shift at work turned out to be one a Salt Lake City waitress will never forget.
Bre Snow left work at The Bourbon House last week thousands of dollars richer – and all thanks to a group of Michigan football fans in town for a game against Utah.
A typical night for Bre Snow usually comes at the end of a long day. But Thursday night, she had one of her best.
“I was checked out for the night, like, that’s how late they came in,” she said of a table of customers who, in return, gave her more than she could have imagined.
“It was more than a pick-me-up,” she said.
After rounds of drinks and food, waiting for her at the table was a receipt, a $500 bill with a $3,000 tip.
“They were like, ‘We want to give this to you. We want to make your day,’ and it did,” Snow said. I started tearing up.
The group snapped a photo, and pointed Snow to an Instagram page for the user “TIPSFORJESUS,” where similar moments have been captured.
“After working so hard to get just a great payoff from it just really touched me, and I really am grateful,” Snow said.
For her, the gesture was worth as much as the money.
“I’ve always wanted to be one of those people that give,” she said. “I always wish that I have the capacity to do that.”
It’s a reminder, after a long day of work, what is truly worth valuing.
“And to so generously see that from someone else – a random act of kindness,” Snow said. “There’s nothing that hits more home. There’s not a word for it. A ‘thank you’ is not enough.”
