Waitress Working Double Shift While Looking After Her Baby Received $1K Tip

Shirell “Honey” Lackey is a busy working mom.  She was recently in the middle of a double shift at the Greensboro , South Carolina Waffle House, but she also had her baby daughter, Bella, with her. So, as she served her hungry customers, she also kept a close eye on her little girl.

As Shirell kept everyone’s plates full and kept Bella occupied, she unknowingly served a country music star’s entourage. Impressed with how their waitress balanced her double duty, one of the customers gave her a $50 tip, which she really appreciated.

But that tip turned out to just be the start of something bigger.

Apparently, the musician’s bus driver overheard the waitress talking about having to bring her daughter to work that day for a 15-hour shift. After hearing the story, the county singer decided to come into the Waffle House to place a special to-go order.

In a Facebook post Shirell said “So he came to me and said that in a society where nobody wants to work he had to respect the hustle of someone who is willing to do whatever it took no matter what to support their child and I started crying.”

He also left her an additional $1000 tip!

The country star, whom Shirell decided to keep anonymous to protect his privacy, also gave the waitress two tickets to a concert and asked for her address to send some baby clothes and other necessities.
