A waitress at a Pizza Hut restaurant in Angola, Indiana received a $10,000 tip to put towards college, from a family who frequented the chain.
The family, a mother and two sons, ate at the restaurant regularly, almost once a week or more. They often requested waitress Jessica Osborne, 20, and she would usually sit and chat, even mentioning to them earlier last week her dreams of returning to college after dropping out twice due to not being able to afford it. However, last Sunday’s visit ended rather differently. Osborne, who had the family’s usual order memorized- two Mountain Dews, a cup of hot water for tea, and a large Meat Lover’s Stuffed Crust pizza, cried so hard she almost couldn’t breathe when they handed her the check folded in half.
The family, who wish to remain anonymous, used money from an education fund they created after a death in the family for Osborne’s check. They had been asked by Osborne to stop by the Pizza Hut restaurant to say goodbye before their planned move to a small town outside of Fort Wayne, but she had no idea what an act of kindness she was in for.
