Determined Waitress Tracks Down Fleeing Customer To Collect One Hundred Twelve Dollars

Esther is seventy two years old and has worked at a small Texas diner for over twenty years. She originally took the job to stay busy after her husband Joe passed away. The diner holds special memories because it is the exact place where she first met Joe during a rainstorm. Last Friday during the lunch rush, a young woman walked into the restaurant holding her phone. The woman broadcasted a live video to her followers while completely ignoring normal manners. She ordered a chicken salad and sweet tea but spent her entire meal complaining to her video audience about the food and the service.

Esther eventually brought the young woman her final check for one hundred twelve dollars. The customer became very angry and told her video audience that she was being charged too much money. She then accused Esther of having a bad attitude and suddenly marched out of the restaurant without paying her check. Esther immediately reported the incident to her manager Danny. He suggested they should just forgive the missing money and move on with their day. Esther completely refused to accept that solution because she believed people should face consequences for treating restaurant workers poorly.

A younger coworker named Simon agreed to help Esther track down the young woman. They stepped outside and spotted the customer walking down Main Street while still recording on her phone. Esther called out to the woman and clearly stated that she needed to pay her large bill. The customer became upset and loudly accused Esther of bothering her in public. Esther remained perfectly calm and explained that she was simply collecting the money owed to the diner. The woman tried to escape by hiding inside several different local shops. Esther patiently followed her into every single building and continued to demand the missing payment.

The strange chase finally ended when the customer cornered herself inside a local yoga studio. Esther stepped into the room and firmly asked for her money one last time in front of a large crowd of onlookers. The exhausted young woman finally gave up and handed over the exact cash to make Esther leave. Esther counted the one hundred twelve dollars carefully before walking back to the diner. Her coworkers and regular customers cheered loudly when she returned with the missing money. Simon showed Esther that videos of her brave pursuit had spread online and turned her into a respected local hero.
