This shows how upside down our world really is. Not to say the young lady wasn’t kind, but the fact that cutting up a piece of ham for someone gets this kind of reaction is very telling. What a callous and horrible people we’ve become when such a small, albeit kind, act is noticed. Think of it....$16,000.00 for a small courtesy. It also teaches that anyone else who displays such kindness should expect huge rewards.
1) a lovely story
2) an admirable act of kindness
3) and a longing for the time when such was the everyday norm

Hoping I could get in before the ‘turds’ jumped into the punch blow. Should have known better.
No this girls behavior shouldn’t be extraordinary, but face the facts in the world we live in it is. I am not sure what reality you are living in, but you need to wake up and look around you.
The only way things are going to change is if we make and effort to change them pay it forward and then recognize it when someone does. Praise and encouragement of such behavior is the only thing that will spread it.
I have noted the growing numbers of Curmudgeons in this world (and here on FR) who love making fun or belittling such behaviors. Many a time such stories are posted here on FR and the here comes those who will tell you what a ‘sucker’ the good deed doer was or complain about why some small kindness is praised.
The world about us is getting darker by the day and few are willing to do anything about it. If all one does is light one small candle it does my heart good and I will rejoice.
For all of us that have served the community as first responders in wildland fires, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes, Waffle House holds a special place in our hearts. They are the last to close and the first to open when danger has passed. Staggering in - dead tired and often covered with ash or mud, we are greeted with a sincere welcome and a friendly smile. May G0d bless them all.
The original owners - Joe Rogers and Thomas Forkner (both WW2 veterans) died within two months of each other last year. Let’s hope that the new crop of bean counters don’t screw it up.
AH MOMEMENT AND NOT A WORD SAID ABOUT SKIN COLOR.
