Cracker Barrel Waitress - A Branson, MO waitress has received what will surely pass as one of the most unique tips in history - a car.
"You've got to be kidding me," Cindy Grady, the Cracker Barrel waitress said, when she was handed the keys to her 2008 Ford Fusion."Really? No way."
The Cracker Barrel waitress Grady had been using a 2002 Hyundai Accent, which is badly damaged -reportedly from accidents with deers.
According to Chelsea Todd, the daughter of the Quitman, AR couple, who played Santa for the Cracker Barrel waitress, her parents-Gary and Roxann Tickett-decided on the gift after seeing the condition of Grady's wrecked car.
"They've only known her since the summer from being in the restaurant," Todd wrote on Facebook."Her car was barely drivable and wouldn't have lasted much longer. She lives in Branson with her disabled son. My parents saw the car and wanted to either fix it or get her something better to last through the winter months."
The Ticketts first had a meal at Cracker Barrel this weekend, before they directed the management of the restaurant to invite Grady outside to receive her present. The lucky Cracker Barrel waitress has revealed that she thought she was in trouble when she was summoned by her bosses.
The news of the Cracker Barrel waitress' gift has made headlines and has been widely discussed on social media.
The Cracker Barrel waitress says her new car has been an inspiration for many people. "One co-worker said that they were glad they worked that day, it has restored his faith in mankind," she revealed on Facebook. "My insurance agent waived their fees. My mechanic put in a third brake-lite for free. These people are simply amazing and I thank God every day that he sent these people to me."
Although we've known of some hefty tips in the past, a car definitely marks a new level of generosity.
The Cracker Barrel waitress, who continues to work at the same restaurant, says she loves her new car. Janella Escobar, the corporate communications director for Cracker Barrel, has noted that it is wonderful when patrons attempt to reciprocate the restaurant's missing of pleasing people.
