customer serv- ice," Williams wrote.
She said the serv- ice inspired her to leave a generous tip on her $30 tab.
"I gave her the $20, and she was like, 'Are you seri- ous?'"
Williams told WGCL-TV. "I handed her another $20, and she goes 'No, really?'"
Castillo, who said it usually takes waiting on about seven tables to earn $40 in tips, had a brief con- versation with Williams and revealed she had been struggling financially.
Williams asked Castillo for her Cash App infor- mation and sent her $500 later that day. She posted about her experience on Facebook, includ- ing Castillo's information, and soon money began flooding into the waitress' account.
"I hear the notifi- cations," Castillo said. "I don't usu- ally get Cash Apps; I didn't know what was going on."
Castillo said the tips from social media strangers exceeded $10,000 within the week. She said the tips
couldn't have come at a more fortuitous time.
"I had a couple of bills overdue," Castillo said. "My mom is sick, she just got out of the hospital Thanksgiving Day. Her medi- cine and hospital bills -- I can finally help with that. It's hard."
Williams said she was happy to have helped Castillo in her time of need.
"I am beyond happy for Jazmine," Williams said. "I don't think it could've hap- pened to a better person."
