Marina, a waitress at a local cafe, was accustomed to serving a diverse range of customers, from families with playful children to weary travelers. One sunny Sunday afternoon, a man with a disheveled appearance walked in, standing out from the usual clientele. Despite his appearance, Marina approached him warmly and took his order, unlike the other servers who seemed hesitant.
However, her act of kindness was met with disapproval from the manager. This person threatened to deduct the cost of the meal from Marina’s paycheck if the man couldn’t pay. To Marina’s surprise, the man not only settled his bill but also left a generous tip of $5,000.
