There’s a strong debate to be had regarding tipping one’s server,but though not everyone looks at the custom the same way,none can deny that it’s a cornerstone of restaurant culture in the US.
I myself was raised to always tip my server.

Many waiters and waitresses depend on tips for their livelihoods, and though I don’t agree that employers should be allowed to get away with underpaying their staff and putting the onus on customers instead, unfortunately that’s the way things are done.
In any case, I think we can all agree that most all servers deserve the money they make from tips. In 99 percent of cases, they work tirelessly to ensure the satisfaction of customers, and any extra money they receive as a by-product should, by rights, be theirs.
According to reports, though, one waitress at the Oven & Tap in Arkansas was fired after receiving a huge tip from one table she was waiting.
Ryan Brandt was speechless when, in 2021, she was given a $4,400 from a table of business executives. Any joy soon turned to dismay, however, when she was given her marching orders by the Oven & Tap eatery soon after.
One of the execs at the table in question, Rebecca Soto, uploaded a clip to Instagram to document the moment Brandt was handed a thick wad of cash for her services.
Soto captioned the heartwarming clip: “I’m humbled to have been part of something so beautiful and generous. To bless someone else without previously knowing them.
“I have been blessed, so it is wonderful to pay it forward and bless someone else.
“God bless all who contributed and the servers who received it. I pray it may be multiplied and impact their life for the better.”
