A server at the Silver Diner in Columbia received an early Christmas gift this year – a several hundred dollar tip.

The waitress who received the $4,000 tip, Tori Locher, says the surprise cash comes after just a few months on the job. She says she started working at the diner after the pandemic led to her salary as a teacher being cut.
