A server facing financial troubles suddenly feels “blessed” after serving a blind customer who handed him his wallet and asked him to take a $2 tip. The server realizes he could have taken much more than those two dollars, and the customer would never have known.
Harold, who is twenty-two years old, works as a server to help his mother Lydia, who is facing financial difficulties due to an expensive surgery. Harold holds two jobs to cover the escalating healthcare costs.
Despite his efforts, he always falls short of the necessary funds.
One day, an elderly wealthy gentleman enters the restaurant. He is blind, and Harold assists him throughout the evening. At the end of dinner, the customer hands Harold his wallet to settle the bill and offers a $2 tip, joking that he usually only gives $1.
Harold sees a substantial amount of money in the wallet but takes only the $2, demonstrating his honesty.
Later on, Harold faces professional challenges as he arrives late to work after spending the night at the hospital with his mother. Despite apologizing, his boss, Mr. Fisher, fires him.
The situation takes a surprising turn when the new restaurant manager, Mr. Benerson, intervenes. It turns out Mr. Benerson is the elderly man Harold served the previous night.
Mr. Benerson praises Harold’s sincerity and dedication and announces that he is looking for a new manager, choosing Harold for the position. The current manager becomes Mr. Benerson’s assistant.
This announcement marks a significant upheaval in Harold’s life, as it brings him a major promotion and helps fund Lydia’s medical expenses.
Harold expresses his gratitude to Mr. Benerson, and his life takes a positive turn. Mr. Benerson generously covers Lydia’s medical expenses. In return, Harold promises to work diligently and fulfill his new role at the restaurant.
