Betty the waitress

[wtg]

Tamie Konzier's lunch outing with her son led to a viral TikTok after she overheard her 81-year-old waitress Betty say she couldn't afford to retire

Tamie initially thought to use any funds she received from the app's Creator Rewards toward Betty's next tip, but users encouraged her to create a GoFundMe

In just one week, she raised more than $328,000 for Betty, allowing the elderly woman to finally consider retirement
