A British waitress was stunned to receive a $100 tip (R1 400) after spilling food over the mother-in-law of the bride – a generous gratuity that came from the bride herself.
Chloe, who posts on TikTok as @Chloe_Beee, briefly worked as a silver service waitress catering weddings and other highbrow events across the UK.
In a viral video that has racked up millions of views since it was uploaded, Chloe explained how she only "very very briefly" worked as a waitress as her dyspraxia means she's "very clumsy and always dropping things".
During the only wedding she ever worked at, she described the heart-stopping moment she spilled an entire gravy boat down the front of the groom's mum's dress.
Chloe said: "Obviously, it was hot and it was everywhere - it didn't burn her, thank God. But she had to go and get changed at home – luckily, they were all local."
She was distraught over the incident and started to convince herself that she'd "ruined" the couple's wedding. While Chloe was crying over the mishap, she said: "The bride came over to me and shook my hand and thanked me. And she said, 'my mother-in-law should not have been wearing white to my wedding’.“
And if that was not enough, she claims the bride gave her a generous tip and the pair always stop for a chat when they cross paths around the local area.
