ANGOLA, Ind. (UPI) -- Paying for college got a whole lot easier for Indiana waitress Jessica Osborne when one of her regular customers recently slid her a $10,000 tip.
Osborne, 20, says she lost her breath on a recent Friday when she opened the envelope the customer gave her and saw all the zeros after the $1, ABC News reports. It was amazing, said Osborn, who works at the Pizza Hut in Angola, Ind.
The customer, who asked that only her first name Becky be used, said she recently had received a large settlement following the deaths of her husband and eldest daughter in a traffic accident and she wanted to do something special for the pleasant young woman who waited on her family.
She was sweet and bright and cheerful and never complained, Becky said. She was just a sweet waitress.
The money couldn't have come at a better time. Osborne has had financial troubles that had forced her to withdraw from college. Now she will be able to use the textbooks she had kept in the trunk of her car.
It's unbelievable. It doesn't happen to people every day, she said. I mean, I work at Pizza Hut!
