{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The restaurant’s general manager, who greeted the group, says the large party came to the eatery on Wednesday morning, asking for the eatery’s “best” server, according to WMAZ.
The manager seated the 11-person group in Janet Ballard’s section, as Ballard has been a longtime worker at the Dublin location.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ballard, however, isn’t the only server to be surprised with a massive tip. A waitress in California was recently gifted $1,000 by a patron who learned she couldn’t work for a week when the restaurant abruptly shut down. And in late November, a Denny’s waitress who walked 14 miles to work every day was given a car by some of her regular customers.
