Woman Doesn’t Leave Tip But Waiter Gets The Last Laugh

The delicious scents from the food wafted toward her as the waiter approached with her food. But as much as her mouth watered, her eyes were glued to the restaurant’s beautiful interior.

She thought the waiter was curt with her when giving her a dismissive answer. She had only enquired about the interior. She wanted him to know she didn’t appreciate his reply and told her daughter she wouldn’t tip him. But she didn’t realize how big of a mistake she was making.

Kristy Jolly

When sixty-year-old New Yorker Kristy Jolly took her daughter for lunch that day, she’d only hoped to celebrate Melissa’s new promotion at work.

A single mom, Kristy had been through a lot. She’d fought through tough times raising her daughter alone. Now a retired senior, she only wanted to spend time with Melissa whenever she could and enjoy life.

But what would happen in that restaurant would claim everything she’d worked so hard to achieve.

Celebration

Melissa had gotten her first promotion at work, an occasion that Kristy was eager to celebrate. She made plans with her daughter to grab lunch at a restaurant in Manhattan before they’d cook dinner at home as a continuation of the celebration.

With everything set, the two met at a famous pizzeria and ordered their food. But as they waited for the pizzas to come, something happened that would set the events of that week in motion.

Excited To Decorate

Kristy was about to buy a new house and was thinking about how to decorate it. She’d grappled with what style to settle for. She couldn’t help but notice the restaurant’s warm and rugged country-styled decor.

Thinking it would be the best answer to her problem, she thought it fitting to ask the waiter about the decor’s name and perhaps its designer, but then she noticed something. She had no clue that the outcome of asking the waiter a simple question would give her sleepless nights.

The Decor

The pizzeria’s current owner, Frank Brinja, is extremely proud of the establishment’s heritage – Patsy’s Pizzeria opened its doors in 1933. The walls are decorated with photographs of numerous patrons’ famous faces and accolades, painstakingly collected over a span of 86 years.

The waiter noticed that the two women had their eyes on the wall, scrutinising every last detail as they waited to be served. The server, seeing the older woman’s unhappy face, knew right away that there was going to be a problem.
