Woman gets $50,000 tip
 
Did anyone hear about this? It's all over the news. I looked to see if this had already been posted, but I didn't see it.

Waitress Melina Salazar got a windfall just before Christmas and from a most unexpected benefactor. Salazar, a waitress at Luby's cafeteria in Brownsville, was amazed when she received $50,000 and a 2000 Buick from one of her most loyal customers.
The posthumous tip came from 89-year-old Walter "Buck" Swords, who passed away in July.
A World War II veteran, Swords was a regular at Luby's and was often served by Salazar. Salazar made sure his food was hot and tended to his every need. She also smiled through his curses and demands. He was a frequent visitor for the last seven years.
In appreciation, he left her a generous tip after his death.

It is sweet for some people. Things like that never happen to me.

Dude was probably a real dick and felt bad on his death bed....I know, my cup is half empty right now

And she'll probably blow it all on an epic coke binge...
I just one upped your pessimism, the ball's in your court.
