A group of teenagers embarked on their first dining experience alone, only to realize they were unsure how to tip their waiter properly. Days later, they returned to the restaurant with a heartfelt apology.

In Los Angeles, a waiter shared a touching tale after feeling let down by a meager tip from a group he served. The incident occurred when four 13-year-old girls dined at the restaurant without adults, filled with excitement.

Despite expressing gratitude for his service, the girls left a disappointing $3.28 tip, leaving the waiter disheartened. Venting his frustrations online, the waiter, known as Seminole, shared his disappointment on Imgur.

To his surprise, the girls returned a week and a half later with a handwritten apology and additional money for the tip. In their letter, they admitted misunderstanding tipping etiquette and felt remorseful for their oversight.

Touched by their sincerity, the waiter, who had never experienced such a gesture, expressed gratitude. He praised the girls for their effort to make amends and wished them a wonderful homecoming celebration.

This heartwarming story underscores the importance of kindness and learning from mistakes, even at a young age. The bill totaled nearly $100, making the tip less than four percent. The girls, realizing their mistake, included the correct 18% tip plus extra to express their appreciation. The waiter, deeply moved by their gesture, found an additional $18 and change in the envelope, surpassing the customary tip.
