Waitress Alarmed When Patrons Ask To Settle The Bill In Private, But Soon Realizes Why

" \n Having unique and even unusual experiences with patrons is very common for waiters and bartenders. This waitress got the shock of her life after serving a group of men one night at a local restaurant where she worked. \n \n\n \n Alarm Bells \n \n\n \n Alarm bells were going off in her head because she couldn\u2019t understand what this group of men wanted from her. As they motioned for her to follow them to the back room, she knew she needed to get help and quickly. \n \n\n \n Alarm Bells \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n No Time For A Break \n \n\n \n Ashley Latella was a waitress at the Seagrape Cafe in Fairfield. She was working the night shift when she noticed a group of men walking in. The restaurant was extremely busy because of the holiday season and she was battling to keep up. \n \n\n \n No Time For A Break \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n More And More Patrons \n \n\n \n Students continued streaming in and taking their seats. Ashley noticed three men in the crowd and thought they looked like they didn\u2019t belong there. The manager, Carlos Carmo, noticed them too. He meant to keep an eye on them but lost track. \n \n\n \n More And More Patrons \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Doing Her Job \n \n\n \n Ashley rushed to their table to serve them. She couldn\u2019t help but feel uneasy by their behavior. They ordered many rounds and every time she turned away she felt them staring at her and when she\u2019d return they\u2019d go suddenly quiet. \n \n\n \n Doing Her Job \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Difficult Patrons \n \n\n \n Ashley had been waitressing for a long time and knew from experience that quiet patrons had a tendency to be difficult. If she ever felt uncomfortable she\u2019d swap tables with another male staff member. Tonight was too busy for that. \n \n\n \n Difficult Patrons \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Hidden Agendas \n \n\n \n Seagrape Cafe was a popular student bar. So why were these older men there? They were easily the oldest people there and looked like they didn\u2019t belong there. Ashley\u2019s gut told her that they had a hidden agenda, but what was it? \n \n\n \n Hidden Agendas \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Not Prepared For This \n \n\n \n Ashley had encountered many different types of patrons, some good and some bad. Some were even rude and unfriendly. But she\u2019d never encountered a customer that refused to settle their check. She wasn\u2019t prepared for what was about to happen. \n \n\n \n Not Prepared For This \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n This Was Just The Beginning \n \n\n \n It was time for her to bring them the check and Ashley was relieved that the night was almost over. Soon she could go home and relax. When she asked to collect their payment they asked for something from her instead. \n \n\n \n This Was Just The Beginning \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n What Did They Want? \n \n\n \n Maybe they wanted more drinks? One of the men had put the folder with the check inside under his arm. When she tried to take it, he wouldn\u2019t let her. He then held it just out of her reach as if teasing her. \n \n\n \n What Did They Want? \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n No Patience For Games \n \n\n \n She was too tired for games. Staring into her eyes, he pushed his chair back and stood up. His friends followed suit. Without a word, he signaled towards the backroom door. He motioned for her to follow, but she was hesitant. \n \n\n \n No Patience For Games \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Fear And Confusion \n \n\n \n Ashley was so confused, she didn\u2019t know exactly what they wanted from her and fear set in. The man insisted and moved in closer to whisper something in her ear. But she couldn\u2019t hear him over the background noise and loud music. \n \n\n \n Fear And Confusion \n \n\n \n Her Thoughts Were Racing \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n She understood that they wanted to pay the check in private. At this point, Ashley was terrified and her thoughts were racing. She started scanning the room looking for the manager. Did they want to complain about her service? \n \n\n \n Her Thoughts Were Racing \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Unsure Of What To Think \n \n\n \n Ashley was an attractive young girl and was used to patrons making advances, but she wasn\u2019t sure if this was the case. She didn\u2019t know what to think. She just knew that she didn\u2019t want to go into the back room with these strangers. \n \n\n \n Unsure Of What To Think \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n She Needed Help \n \n\n \n She caught Carlos as he rushed past her. When he saw the fear in her eyes he knew she needed help. Ashley was so relieved he was there and she briefly explained the situation. He said he\u2019d take over from here. \n \n\n \n She Needed Help \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The Customer Is Always Right \n \n\n \n Carlos went with Ashley to the backroom to see what these men wanted. At first, he thought they were dissatisfied with their service and wanted to complain. Little did he know these men had Carlos and Ashley exactly where they wanted them. \n \n\n \n The Customer Is Always Right \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Behind Closed Doors \n \n\n \n Ashley\u2019s suspicions were confirmed once secluded in the backroom. These men had admitted to observing her all night. She knew that she was not just imagining things, and that fact comforted her slightly. But why were they observing her so much? \n \n\n \n Behind Closed Doors \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n They Needed To Explain \n \n\n \n The harsh truth is that many times, patrons can cross the line between being friendly to acting inappropriately. Sometimes this can happen even by accident, but Carlos knew he could never be too careful. He had a duty to protect his employees. \n \n\n \n They Needed To Explain \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The Reason Behind It All \n \n\n \n Finally, after so much mystery, the men finally explained themselves. They said they noticed the other bartenders were run off their feet as well and they were impressed. Carlos let out a sigh of relief. \n \n\n \n The Reason Behind It All \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n A Sigh Of Relief \n \n\n \n Carlos was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax. These men weren\u2019t a danger after all. He was glad that he took the steps to make sure that everything was in order, but was even happier that there was nothing malicious going on. \n \n\n \n A Sigh Of Relief \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Couldn\u2019t Believe His Eyes \n \n\n \n When one of the mystery men handed Carlos the bill, he saw the gratuity amount that was written down and he couldn\u2019t believe his eyes. He saw a five and two zeros \u2013 the bill was only $112 and this was a $500 tip! This was unheard of\u2026. \n \n\n \n Couldn\u2019t Believe His Eyes \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The Amount Was Wrong \n \n\n \n When Carlos thanked them for the $500 tip the men chuckled and told him to take a closer look. He was so overwhelmed by their generosity that he had looked at the bill too quickly. When he took a closer look, he was completely shaken\u2026 \n \n\n \n The Amount Was Wrong \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The Real Amount \n \n\n \n After Carlos took a better look at the be, he saw the \u2018extra\u2019 zero that he had missed before. The tip was not $500, but actually $5,000! At this point, Ashley burst into tears and Carlos\u2019 face went white. \n \n\n \n The Real Amount \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Mystery Men \n \n\n \n After Carlos and Ashley were finally able to compose themselves, they were able to ask the all-important question. Who were these mystery men? What was it about the Seagrape Cafe that made them want to share their wealth and tip the staff such an exorbitant amount? \n \n\n \n Mystery Men \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The Lord\u2019s Work \n \n\n \n The man went explained how they\u2019re part of a group that\u2019s called \u201cTips for Jesus.\u201d Their mission was \u2018To do the Lord\u2019s work one tip at a time.\u2019 They had the financial means and wanted to spread God\u2019s love using their resources. But that wasn\u2019t all\u2026 \n \n\n \n The Lord\u2019s Work \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n A Countrywide Mission \n \n\n \n These men had been traveling across the country visiting restaurants and leaving huge tips to hardworking servers. To date, the tips have amounted to $11,500 in Manhattan alone. Soon enough their story gained momentum through all social media platforms. \n \n\n \n A Countrywide Mission \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n More Stories Surfaced \n \n\n \n Once word got out about these guys, more people from all over America started coming forward and sharing their experiences on social media.
