Shaina Brown of Raleigh, North Carolina must have some killer waffle serving skills. While working at Waffle House on Mother's Day, a generous customer left her a $1,500 tip with a note asking her to give $500 of it to a woman at another table.

For a single mother of three kids who works two jobs, this was quite the blessing. However, Waffle House claimed they couldn't clear that much cash on a credit card and made her refuse the tip.

The good news is, a local reporter was able to reach the kind customer and tell him Shaina's story, so he wrote her a personal check. Although Shaina spoke out against Waffle House, claiming that she felt like a 'victim of theft', she is still employed with the company.
