We’ve all heard of random acts of kindness. May it be a customer in the drive-thru who starts a chain reaction of 167 people buying each other’s meals, or a woman who meets a homeless man in Burger King and changes his life, there’s no denying that a little bit of kindness can go a long way.
While working her shift at Guyer’s in New York City, Caitlin Cahil never expected her “slow, quiet night” at the bar to turn into one shift she’d never forget.
The bartender chatted on and off with two men who seated themselves at the end of the bar. One of those men was Jack Shelby, former Vice President of PayPal.
He asked Caitlin if she had heard of “Tips for Jesus.”
A movement that aims to do the Lord’s work “one tip at a time,” Tips for Jesus started in 2013 with an Instagram page of the same name. Mystery diners carry out random acts of kindness in the form of extremely generous tips, which are then posted anonymously to the social media page. The last one was posted a year ago.
