“We had already paid Mari the $3,000 by a company check, so now we, as the owners, are stuck with the loss.” The customer had disputed the charge with his credit card company, and despite attempts to contact him, the restaurant received no response. Consequently, Alfredo’s Pizza decided to file charges at Magistrate Joanne Price Corbett’s Office in Lackawanna County.
Zachary Jacobson, the manager of Alfredo’s Pizza, spoke to the local news station, stating, “We thought somebody was actually trying to do a good thing. And now, here we are, not even three months later, and there’s nothing to show for it.” He explained.
While this is a discouraging story, there are still many examples of kindness circulating online. Celebrities like Johnny Depp and Paris Hilton have been known to leave substantial tips. The popular Instagram trend has also placed hundreds of dollars into the hands of servers across the U.S. For instance, in Nebraska, a man left a $2,000 tip on a $5 bill at a bakery in 2021. Another waitress in Rhode Island received an $810 tip on a $48 bill.
Kindness Isn’t Just About Money
