Our Kidde Hero of the Week spotlights an anonymous tipper.
Kix saw this story on People.com and wanted to share it with you:
Brendan Motill, a 19-year-old server at the Smokey Barque BBQ restaurant in Frankfort, Illinois, was surprised to find a $1,000 tip on a meal that cost $20. The kind-hearted customer left a note explaining that he tipped very generously because he wanted to help other see the power of kindness.
He wrote:
“Thanks for your kind service. You’re doing a great job as a server. I’m not sure what your hopes and dreams are in this life, but I hope this tip helps. My hope is that people are more peaceful to each other. The world can be so negative and violent. I commit random acts of kindness so that others know there can be another way. Peace be with you, brother!”
Brendan says he is beyond grateful for the kind act, and he plans to put the money towards his college education.
