A Lethbridge server was the recipient of an early Christmas present this weekend after her table left her a massive tip.
A Lethbridge server was the recipient of an early Christmas present this weekend after her table left her a massive tip.
On Saturday, 14 women got together and pooled their money — gathering $690 — after their meal at Kingsmen Ale House, leaving more than $400 for server Kendall Caldwell once the roughly $250 bill was settled.
“I was in shock, major shock,” Caldwell said Monday. “I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to feel.”
Breanna Dobler had seen something similar on social media, so she and a group of friends decided to do their own version of the gesture.
“Kendall went to my mom’s high school where she works, and my mom just adored her,” Dobler said.
“She phoned management and arranged it under an alias.”
Getting organized was easy, but the hard part? Keeping the surprise a secret throughout the meal.
“I’m not a good secret keeper when it comes to things like this,” Dobler said. “I wanted to tell her right off the hop, but it all worked out.”
