Thanks to the kindness of Keith and Jane Gray Davis and their holiday tip challenge, a server at LongHorn Steakhouse in Evansville, Southern Indiana, received the surprise of a lifetime this past weekend: a $500 tip. Samantha, a two-year LongHorn waitress, revealed that she frequently works double hours and spends her free time watching her two little nephews, who are three and four years old. Samantha’s cheerful disposition made a lasting impression on the Davis family and their guests, even though she had a difficult start to the day.
In addition to sharing Samantha’s story on social media, Keith and his friends and family have a custom of honoring waitstaff around the holidays, emphasizing their dedication and positive service. “Once we finished recording, she told us her day had started out rough, but she didn t let that affect her service,” wrote Keith Davis. Samantha was rendered stunned by the $500 tip, which was made possible by donations from friends and family.
Tip Challenge: A Heartwarming Holiday Tradition
The holidays are a time to give back for Keith and Jane Gray Davis. The pair has hosted tip challenges in Evansville and elsewhere over the years, surprising waitstaff with generous gratuities to make their holidays more enjoyable. The Davises have spread happiness all across the world, from ice cream shops in Navarre Beach, Florida, to Christmas Day breakfasts at IHOP. “What you discover about people and their stories after the cameras stop rolling is incredible,” Keith remarked. Their final objective? to carry out these deeds of generosity all year long.
How You Can Join the Tip Challenge
Donations from their friends, family, and the community help fund these initiatives. If you would want to bless another diligent server, you may send a donation through Apple Pay (618-383-3658) or Venmo (@Keith-Davis-46). This weekend, the pair intends to celebrate the holidays by going to another nearby eatery.
This sincere custom serves as a reminder to everyone of the value of charity and kindness, particularly around the holidays.
