ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WTAE) – A woman says she spent just 45 minutes inside an Eat’n Park in Ross Township, Pennsylvania, but during that time, she met a waitress that she knew immediately that she wanted to help.
In just one day, Tami Konzier may have changed that waitress’ life.
Konzier says once she posted a TikTok video about her waitress “Betty,” the community started sharing and donating.
In the video, the 81-year-old restaurant worker told Konzier that she has been a waitress for all of her life, but still can’t afford to retire.
Konzier says her heart broke, and so did her 10-year-old son’s, so she gave Betty a large tip and asked others to help, too.
In one day, there was already more than $150,000 donated on a GoFundMe alone.
“I’m so happy for her,” Konzier said. “I don’t want to cry. I just think it’s great that people have compassion for her and so many people have donated, so I feel great for her.”
Eat’n Park said in a statement that they are “thrilled to see the outpouring of support” for Betty. The company says she creates smiles for their customers and team members each day.”
