A Michigan restaurant fired a server after she received a $10,000 tip last month. The restaurant says her termination had nothing to do with the big tip — but they won’t say why they let her go. The server, Lindsay Boyd, says the attention surrounding the tip became too much.

Who cares it’s a restaurant job take your $10,000 and be happy
IF YOU A PERSON THAT WORK AND GOT A GOOD MINDSET BARELY ANY RESOURCES…. BUT IF YOU A GROW MAN OR LADY THAT USE DRUGS AND DRINK YOU AUTO GET AN APARTMENT FAR QUICKER …..SO THAT WHY THEY DID IT SHE WAS NOT SLOW ENOUGH TO THE. WORKERS MONEY SHE OWE AND OWNED
WHAT NEW? NO SERIOUSLY WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? MICHIGAN ESPECIALLY THE WEST PART ALREADY HAS RAISED ENVY TYPE ENERGY PPL……..
She literally left work early because she got a tip so high she just couldn't mentally accept it? I bet she had no problem physically accepting it.
Maybe the lesson to her fragile ego would have been to share the money, make friends, not have to deal with the pressure, and still have a job.
"Left Work Early One Day"
Code for, walked out on her shift.
Job abandonment, insubordination, leaving station without permission.
There are (ex)employees like this everywhere.
That’s why I don’t tip no one ..
Server jobs are a dime a dozen get over it lady
All restaurants and bars are toxic workplaces! If you don’t like drama don’t ever work at a bar or restaurant. Not to mention most pass each other around
I hope that dump goes under.
Whoever wrote her that knew exactly what they were doing and that she deserves better 😭
Jealous !!😢
That is what one might call "wrongful termination". In a RTW state, however: it won't matter.
Usually, waiters share tips, no ?
The restaurant manager felt he should have gotten the tip because he owns the restaurant.
Share the tip darling. Keep 9 k and give 1k for the other employees.
She has 10k and she’s upset over a shotty place of employment ? Go get a new job
She should be happy ten thousand dollars and away from backstabbing coworkers,girl you hit the jackpot 😂
Something better comes her way
Ill take the 10000 and find a new job 😂
Jesus people you can't see she committed a fraud. She added 10,000 to the bill
Zelle the server or any other app ?
Another reason to never tip!
I hope they gave her the 10k tip that she got
got ten k and said its the worst thing ever. you can last on that for.few couple months to get ankther a job you fool
Well, I think she could use the money to start her own business somewhere else.
Time for a law suit and a boycott the restaurant
I understand where she’s coming from but imagine how much of a punch in the face it is to the tipper to hear, “I wish it never happened”
They were literally trying to change her life and bless her. I think that was the wrong choice of words on her part.
People should make sure this place goes out of business!
Get an lawyer
It’s because all the co workers decided she should’ve split it with them. Better to lose one employee than 3-4 I guess.
Sue them
Cause she didn't share! 😂😂😂
Girl has her priorities wrong. She should be grateful she was able to see the real side of that job, instead of working blindly for someone who does not care
And what
Did she actually get the money cuz that might be the problem alot of restaurants wont charge a card tip of large amounts
You are blessed and beautiful! You deserved that tip obviously! That person might have been going through ANYTHING and you MADE THERE DAY! Not only that you're blessed and someone saw that Light in you!! 🙏🏾❤️❤️ Lift your head up! People are jealous and spiteful to PURE HEARTED PEOPLE. Be careful.
Sounds like my boss
its a fake story, nobody eating in a Michigan diner has 10 thousand dollars.
