When Garret Wayman, a hard-working server in Wichita, Kansas, saw that his customer left a $20 tip tucked under a ketchup bottle on the table, he could hardly believe it. Naturally, the young server who is a senior in high school was excited!
But when Wayman looked a little closer, he realized it was something very different.
The [$20] bill left as a tip was really a gospel tract disguised as money. The pamphlet read, “Don’t be fooled. There is something you can have more value than money.”
Unfortunately, these fake $20 tips have been circulating for quite some time and giving Christians a bad name.
The server was understandably angry at being duped. He said he doesn’t mind if people leave Bible pamphlets, but that people “don’t work for fun.”
Candace Bure, co-host of “The View,” chimed in and said, “You have to put something with it. That is like the worst representation of a Christian that you could do.”
“I was just taken aback because I don’t know if you’ve ever been a server, but whenever you see a $20 tip it’s a big deal,” Wayman shared.
“He just left that,” the teen continued. “I wanted to tell him that I only make $3 an hour and bust my [butt] at my job to make way less than I deserve, but he was gone by the time I had the chance to.”
