Best Shift Ever - Waitress Receives Life-Changing Tip


http://www.upworthy.com/we-all-know-someone-like-this-waitress-its-so-satisfying-to-see-her-get-whats-coming-to-her?c=upw1


This is part of a special Upworthy series, made possible by JCPenney



She waits tables at a restaurant. She works hard. Her coworkers love her.
She's struggling.

Her car is falling apart. She's barely making ends meet. People who work in food service don't make much money. The federal minimum wage for people who get paid with tips is just over $2 an hour. Chelsea does everything she can to give her customers the best possible service, but she's not getting ahead.



She gives back.

Like so many people, Chelsea doesn't have much money to give, but she does offer her time to people. An eating disorder survivor, she volunteers as a yoga teacher for people who are walking that same path.
It's about time she gets a break.



The fun folks at Break are "pranking it forward," giving her the best shift ever. She's getting a new car, a Hawaii vacation, a $1,000 tip, and more.

Oh, and she tries to share that tip with her coworkers because she's really that kind of person.

FULL story at link.

There are truly some wonderful people in this world.
