A 'feel good' story....

Instead of bad news, here's some good news for a change. Picture this, a Kingsport, Tennessee Waffle House.... Mom Lauren Ball gave her son a birthday party. She didn't have much money to begin with, but who can deny your kid a party. He was thrilled and after the party she was broke. Off to work she went at the Waffle House. The overnight shift began as usual with customers coming and going, until two younger guys showed up. They three of them chatted and discovered a common bond, Harry Potter. Once they finished their food and paid the bill of less than $25 the place went crazy - why? They left Lauren a $600 tip! They said they did it because they like to help people. How's that for a feel good story!

It is good to hear a positive story. It also shows that she was probably a good, and friendly waitress and representative of Waffle House. Now I want a waffle.
