A pregnant waitress on our team was working herself hard when a generous customer gave her a big tip. When the boss found out, he insisted she split the tip with him and the rest of the staff. She refused and was fired on the spot.
Two months later, her story went viral. People were furious about her treatment, and her post gained significant attention. Soon, an anonymous fundraiser was started in her name, raising over \$30,000 in just weeks.
Instead of taking the money and moving on, she used it to open her own business, which ended up directly competing with the restaurant that had fired her. Now that’s a major comeback.
