A server at a restaurant in North Carolina was given a $10,000 cash tip by a patron who ordered two waters.
北卡罗来纳州一家餐馆的服务员从一位点了两杯水的顾客那得到了1万美元的现金小费。
Alaina Custer, an employee of Sup Dogs in Greenville and student of nearby East Carolina University, was shocked when she discovered the stack of bills left on the table Saturday.
阿莱娜.库斯特是格林维尔Sup Dogs餐馆的员工,也是附近东卡罗莱纳大学的学生。星期六当她发现留在桌上的一叠钞票时,感到很震惊。
“I literally didn’t think it was real. I picked it up and it was a giant stack of hundreds, I was shaking and just kept asking, ‘What is this?’ I thought someone was playing a joke on me,” she told The News & Observer.
她告诉《新闻观察家》:“我真的不认为这是真的。我把钱捡起来,很厚一摞,有几百张,我颤抖着,不停地问:‘这是什么?’我以为有人在跟我开玩笑。”
The large tip was left with a note that said “thanks for the delicious water,” according to Sup Dogs owner Brett Oliverio, the Observer reports.
据《观察家报》报道,Sup Dogs的老板布雷特.奥利维奥还说,对方在这笔小费上留了一个纸条,上面写着“感谢这美味的水”。
When Custer found the tip, there were two men at a nearby table filming her reaction because the person who left the money is a YouTube personality known as Mr. Beast.
当卡斯特发现这笔小费时,旁边的桌子的两名男子正在拍摄她的反应,因为留下钱的人是YouTube上一个名叫比斯特的名人。
“They just told me about their YouTube channel and how they were going around blessing servers’ days,” Custer said.
库斯特说:“他们只是告诉我他们的YouTube频道,以及他们会如何宣传此事。”
Mr. Beast, who has over 8.8 million subscribers on his channel, came back into the restaurant to join his crew and Custer said she “hugged them all.”
比斯特的频道拥有880万用户,他回到餐厅加入他的员工,卡斯特说她“拥抱了他们所有人”。
Custer said most of the people who work at Sup Dogs are “broke college kids” so she decided to share the tip with her coworkers.
卡斯特说,大多数在Sup Dogs餐厅工作的人都是“经济困难的大学生”,所以她决定和同事们一起分享小费。
“I was so blessed to have that money. We got to all split it up, which will help a lot of people,” she said.
她说:“我很幸运有那么多钱。我们不得不把它分了来帮助很多人。”
This isn’t the first time Mr. Beast has given away a large chunk of money and recorded it for YouTube. In another video on his page, he gives away $10,000 to a “random homeless man” and shares the encounter online.
这不是比斯特第一次捐出一大笔钱,并为YouTube录制视频。在他的网页上的另一个视频中,他随机给了一个“流浪汉”1万美元,并在网上分享了这个事情。
As of Monday morning, the video of Custer’s reaction had yet be posted on Mr. Beast’s account.
截至周一上午,关于卡斯特反应的视频还未在比斯特的(YouTube)账号上公布。
