Restaurant tip

A waiter from Ireland living and working in Texas, USA served a customer who was a total stranger to him. During their conversation the waiter mentioned his wife was about to have a baby but they could not afford to take the new baby to meet his family back home.

Later when the customer left, the waiter found a $750 tip with a message saying, "Hopefully this can get you back to Ireland for the holidays.

What's the picture about?

- How much do people usually tip waiters?
- The bill was $122 so how much might the waiter have expected?
- How do you think the waiter felt when he saw how much the tip was?
- Why do you think the customer left such a huge tip?
- Why did the customer leave the restaurant without telling the waiter about the tip?
- The customer learned that the waiter was born in one country and now lives and works in another country. What does this show about how the customer feels about people moving to different places and living and working in different countries?
- What does this story show us about people around the world?
- What can we learn from this story?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders (because the waiter was born in a different country and the customer wants him to feel welcome in America and to show he is cared for)
- If you could meet the stranger who left the tip, what would you say to them?
