One Houston couple may never wait for a table at their favorite restaurant again.
Greg Rubar, a longtime waiter at Rice Village restaurant, told KHOU-TV that a pair of his regular customers gave him the tip of a lifetime after they heard about his car trouble.
The couple, who is married and wishes to remain anonymous, knew that Rubar’s car had been destroyed in the recent bad storms Houston has weathered.
“He said, ‘I’m not going to be giving you a tip for awhile,’” Rubar told . “Take this tip, go buy yourself a car.’”
Rubar said he didn’t know what was in the envelope at first and told the website he hopes to pay his customers back one day.
“To me, it would be more of a gift if it was a loan,” he said.
Since losing his car earlier this year, Rubar has been forced to take taxis, unreliable public transportation and use the restaurant owner’s catering truck when it’s not in use.
He said the couple had been coming into the restaurant for about eight years. He’s worked there for the past 16 years.
“They just wanted to help me out,” he said of the generous tippers. “They’re nice people.”
On the restaurant’s Facebook page, other customers weighed in with praises for the popular waiter.
“Greg is awesome,” one commenter wrote. “He is a great server and a good cook as well. Glad to hear this story.”
“Good for Greg,” another added. “He deserves it!!”
Wow! And the cops didn't take it!
ReplyDeleteWell, there's a first time for everything, huh?
Its good hearts and souls such their's that keep this world spinning with people that are able to get by and have peace of mind, never hesitate to reach out. So kind. Its a darn shame his car was destroyed, I hope that it never occurs again anywhere in his life time. I wonder what it looked like after it got scrapped in the storm, though.
