WINNIPEG \u2013A Winnipeg server says she was brought to tears by the generosity of a customer she had never met before.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Jennifer Peitsch was working at Mongo’s Grill on Regent Avenue, one of her two jobs.<\/p>\n

Peitsch told CTV Winnipeg she was serving a table of four \u2013one woman and her three sons.<\/p>\n

When it came time for the table to pay, the receipt showed a $1,000 tip on an $87 bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI usually don’t even look at the tip,\u201d Peitsch said. \u201cI try to focus on the guest and make sure they are happy, but I was super shocked when I saw the receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, Peitsch thought it was a mistake but when the woman reassured her that it was done intentionally, it brought her to tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hit me hard, I kind of broke down a little bit and I definitely started crying, I asked her for a hug,\u201d Peitsch said. \u201cI couldn’t believe what she was doing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few days later, Peitsch connected with the customer on Facebook to ask why she had given her the enormous tip.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said she saw that I was stressed out but still friendly, so that’s why she did it,\u201d Peitsch said.<\/p>\n

The money will help her pay off credit card debt and save for school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
