50 cents or $5,000: How a simple mistake led to a huge tip

Ashley, a waitress at a small restaurant in Texas, never expected that a simple case could turn into such a surprise. She was serving a table of a group of friends, and when it came time for the checkout, one of them accidentally put a zero extra, leaving a tip of $5,000 instead of 50 cents. After realizing this, Ashley immediately decided to refund the money and told the customers about the mistake.

But to her surprise, they refused to take the money back. One friend said: “You showed honesty and dignity. Let this be your gift.” Ashley was shocked. That tip allowed her to close her debts and start saving for her education.
