Two customers at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Nebraska this week asked to be waited on by the grumpiest person working.
They were told that the restaurant didn’t have any grumpy employees and were then seated with 18-year-old Abigail Sailors.
The young girl told the customers about her life, explaining that her mother was incapacitated by a car crash when Sailors was an infant.
This meant that she and her four siblings were placed in a foster home when her biological father was deemed an unfit parent.
The children were then split up by the state and remained apart for nine years, eventually reuniting in a new foster home.
Sailors told her story to the two customers explaining that she’d just finished her first semester at North Dakota’s Trinity College but she was finding it difficult to meet education costs.
One of the guests was a past student of the same college and he proceeded to make a huge gesture towards Sailors.
He wrote Sailors a $5,000 tuition check, following it up with another $1,000 for supplies. (He also left a $100 tip, which Abigail split with another server.)
“I couldn’t believe it,” Sailors said. “I tried to thank them, and they said, ‘Thank God.’ ”
