Here's some GOOD to start your week. I thought this was a one-time thing when I read about it several months ago, but it's not! How wonderful, especially knowing how much servers struggle, essentially surviving on tipsBack in July, my brother Aaron passed away and he worked here when he was 18, Seth Collins told Nikki Moore, a server at Pizza Hut in Berea on Wednesday.
In his will, Seth continued, the last thing was that he wanted us to leave an awesome tip for a waiter or waitress. Thanks to the response we got from everyone around the world, weve had the opportunity to do that 34 times, and today is the 35th. So today, for Aaron, I have a $500 tip for you.
Since the sudden death of his brother in July, just weeks after his 30th birthday, Seth has given $500 tips at 35 locations in eight states. His goal is to visit at least 100 locations in all 50 states within the next year, he said.
In Aarons will, created several years before his death, he wrote: Leave an awesome tip and I dont mean 25 percent; I mean $500 on a [freaking] pizza for a waiter or waitress.
