Woman discovers resort waitress was adding extra meals to family's dinner bills to feed her kids, husband confronts her and quietly accepts cash repayment, but his wife reports it, causing waitress to be fired: 'I feel terrible'

There are simply no excuses for stealing, but sometimes it is important to hear someone out before taking serious action against them. Most times, it will not excuse what they have done, because for whatever reason, theft has no valid justification…However, this husband is left feeling guilty after seeing the consequences his dishonest waitress faced…

A large family of 19 decided to vacation together at a resort, and every night for the last 5 nights, they would order the same meal, often accumulating to around $800. They were huge fans of their vibrant waitress and always felt that she deserved her $200 nightly tip. However, after the fifth night, one of the women began reading the receipt and noticed something strange…An entree had been added to the bill, so after confronting the waitress, she swiftly apologized and removed it from the bill, no questions asked. However, the still wife felt uneasy about the situation and went off to check the other bills…Yep, the same thing occurred over the last few nights! So when her husband went to confront the waitress in private, she burst into tears, explaining how she had used the meal to feed her kids, despite already receiving a generous tip. He felt bad for her and accepted a cash repayment without involving management, however, his wife did not feel as forgiving…

Let's just say, she did not find the waitress's story touched her heart as much as it did her husband's, so she decided to involve management and let them deal with it from there. Who knows how many customers she'd scammed in the past?… Who knows how desperately she needed that extra $20? Either way, there are consequences for dishonesty in the workplace, and we're not so sure her manager will be as understanding.
