Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted December 21, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 21, 2019 The $50 Breakfast was a great success. It was really cool to get 12 guys together, many who had never met, for the purpose of giving an unexpected gift to someone else who was working hard right before Christmas. As we left Poor Richard’s Cafe we gave an envelope to our server with the cash collectively donated by each guy. One of the last guys to walk out said he saw her open it and burst into tears. God knows what that gift means to her and her family, and that’s what matters the most. 8 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted December 21, 2019 The guy in the blue jacket in the center of the pic is the guy that put this together. 5 of us went to high school together and the rest were friends and friends of friends. Wade and I were among the last to leave and as we were walking out the door the waitress opened the envelope and card and was in tears and the other waitresses were hugging her. Hopefully she really needed this gift right before Christma. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted December 21, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 21, 2019 I like the sound of this, but is there some context we should know about or was this some random waitress you all wanted to bang? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really had no idea what waitress we were going to get. Just picked a restaurant that's popular with the working class in our city and got a table for our group of 12 and went from there.

Did you ask for a receipt so you can claim it on your taxes? Did you report her to the IRS (she will clearly not claim this).

The suggested donation was $50 per plate that was to cover the cost of the meal and whatever was left over would go towards the gift. An envelope was passed around and everybody dropped whatever cash they were donating. The guy that put this together said there was over $500 left after paying for the meal and a regular tip. He put the rest in a Christmas card and gave that to her and told her it was a Christmas gift from our group and we left. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if he was running the scheme, sure, he'd likely use a photo of mine. It's risky, since then you need to include some sort of magnifying device and that costs money reducing the take.
