Waitress Always Treated Homeless Man Kindly, Then One Day He Reveals His True Identity

Jan 18, 2019 by apost team

There is an age-old adage that your actions towards other people always come back around to you. One woman learned that lesson recently. We typically tend to treat other people a certain way depending on the way they look or speak. Their appearance helps us gauge how we should interact with them. People that are well-dressed and well-spoken tend to require us to put our best foot forward.

On the other hand, people who are not well dressed tend to bring us to treat them a totally different way. Often, we either treat those people with a sense of pity, or simply move past them quickly. It is unfortunate that after centuries of learning that clothes don’t make the man (or woman).

A recent story showed that overlooking the material trappings of a person may certainly pay off. While this isn’t why we should work to overlook how a person initially appears, and look to find the inner person that could become a great friend to us. 

An incredible story recently surfaced about one waitress who served a man she thought was down on his luck or, at worst, homeless, on a near-daily basis. Dressed in rags and unkempt clothing, the man was someone that most other people at the restaurant simply ignored the man and moved on to find a better-dressed customer.

When the man approached the counter, most people shied away. No one gave the man any value due to the nature of how he was dressed. However, one waitress took notice and refused to ignore the man. Instead, she chose to show the man complete kindness.

Homeless people are, unfortunately, some of the most suffering people in today’s world. They receive consistent disrespect and are treated as barely human. The owner of one restaurant wouldn't stand for that with his staff, so he tried a new approach.

An ill-dressed man came into the restaurant one day and was surprised to see that he was basically ignored by nearly the entirety of the staff. When he came up to the counter to order, he was ignored by all. However, one waitress took attention to him. What she didn’t know was that it was actually the restaurant’s owner dressed down to see how his employees would treat him.

When she treated him with smiles and patience, she never realized it was her boss! He, however, noticed her passion and rewarded her for her kindness and the entire staff learned a valuable lesson in how to treat others.
