On the Road: Waitress receives the tip of a lifetime

- As part of our continuing series "On the Road," Steve Hartman meets Melissa Mainier, a Pennsylvania waitress who, thanks to a generous tipper, paid off her entire nursing school debt.
unfortunately, he has passed but hopefully his kindness lives on in others 💗
He might have paid for everything before he passed away.
His impact will be felt in the lives that girl touches as a nurse :^))
@@diedrike863 Unknown what his will had in it.
It did.
It does. Through everyone he’s helped. And actually more than that if you think about it. The nurse he paid for is saving lives and spirits that will further help others. He was a good man.
The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever
May God continue to shower this great man a good health..
He will be paid back 100 fold and let's hope he has a long life, but when the end comes, he will be one of the folks who will get cuts in the line......
THAT is an interesting theological thought. By which belief system do you make this claim?

God, did not shower him instead he is has sadly passed 3 years after this documentary.
Amen
I used to be a waitress. Have always worked hard. Didn't notice it until my clients started asking me which was my station, or the tables I was to tend to, which left me with full tables while the other waiters and waitress didn't do anything (and didn't complain). I also have a great memory, so when my customers came in I could tell what they wanted and how depending on the hour of the day. We weren't supposed to get tips cuz we were being paid by the hour. When Christmas time came, I was very much surprised when several of them gave me cards telling me not to open them until I got home. And on my birthday as well, the older ladies found out when my birthday was and did the same. I cried when I opened the beautiful cards they had given me, some contained money, one had a gift card, and another had a $100 bill!! I was so touched. No wonder they didn't want me to open them in front of them, and I tried returning the money... Well, my dear co-workers found out SOMEHOW, they complained, and I was fired. But I'll never forget these amazing people. They were so much fun to be around too!!
It's okay 😊 guarantee you those ladies who gave out of the kindness of their hearts to make life just a little bit easier never went back there after you left deeming it "worthless" and ready to spread their good deeds amongst somebody else
Youve got to be kidding ! You earned the affection of your customers through your competence and your kindness and if THEY decide they want to reward you for it, nobody has the right to deny them. IIf they found out what happened to you, I KNOW that theyd force the management to take you back or they'll go somewhere else for their food. Dont take it lying down. Fight back for what is right. You'd make a precedent for other waitpeople in other places. I know how hard you people work , so I always give good tips, knowing there are customers out there who give small or even no tips to hard working men and women. I appreciate you and want you to succeed.
@@erinmathews6688 I hope so 🤭🤭. Thank you.
Fired? Why?
For caring about your customers?
That uncaring manager should be canned!
A philantrophist with a HUGE heart. May his gestures create a ripple.... God bless him more!
Amen
Such a sweet old man, very humble about it all.
Steve Hartman thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. Hearing about these individuals helps beat back all the bad news. Everybody wins when you are able to share good fortune. He knows his generosity will help humanity. The nurse will help thousands over the course of her career.
This is what we hope all wealthy people would do . Thank you Sir you are a gentleman
His goodness continues through Melissa’s good works.
Angels do exist..what a beautiful life event
The world needs more outstanding citizens like him.
What an angel in disguise! Bless his heart!
I hope CBS never gets rid of Steve Hartman and his on the road series. God bless this man for doing this hopefully it will inspire others too also spread a little cheer.

This man is nothing but a great soul
So sweet of you to be so kind in helping a young woman persue her dream
That gentleman is great, he is such a good person and he helped the young woman achieve her goal feeling supported, emotionally as well as financially, by someone who truly cares. Bless them both
God Bless that Gentleman, it's so rare to see this sort of thing but it sure does warm the heart. Kinda like a volunteer Grandpa who recognized this Little Gal's potential and opened His Heart and Pocket Book.. Well Done..
That gave me a tear.....great story of what makes America so special.
Thanks to Ben, Melissa was able to achieved her nursing career goals.
Blessed to be a Blessing soooo awesome to see how God opens the hands of man to care for those in need!!!God Bless You!
She is a very beautiful young woman. I wish her nothing but the very best for the rest of her life.
God bless him and God bless our nurses.
Give this old man a medal and a hug
This is great to see. Sometimes things like this happen and the person ends up blowing the money or never follows through with their schooling. Love to see that she followed through, and now is looking at getting another degree. Awesome job to both.
William Todd thought the same too, she appreciated what he gave her..
You are one of gods soldier on earth my man, you don't know how much you are helping humanity
Great story.There are many hidden heroes among us.
What an Angel he is! He's smiling in heaven right now praying for all of us on earth to love others as he does. God bless 🙏
What a wonderful man. Good to see that some billionaires are generous.
*Such a good man!*
i wish i could do that. I wish i had money to give to people. But, i'm only 16 and work at a job that pays min. wage. Not much i can do, all i have been able to do is buy people's snacks at gas stations.. Still love their reactions though. Truly amazing feeling...
tyler stewart the world needs more people like u tyler...keep doing what u do and God bless u...
Thank you Rey Smith! Nothing feels better then giving!
Better than money is giving people your time. Visit an elderly home and hang out with the older people, you'll see what I mean. I had people in wheelchairs up dancing, folks that been silent for years laughing and telling me stories, and people who refused to eat solid foods......eating. Being around pleasant youth bring out the kid in people.
VTR RAGE its the thought that counts👍
+VTR RAGE Keep doing what you are doing, kiddo. The people you have helped will never forget you or your kindness!
I'm crying my eyes out. What a wonderful story 😊
this is a real human making the best of his life and entjoy every minute of it . I just love these kind of guys . are they still on earth lately
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU BOTH .
Faith in humanity restored....Good man...
Bless his heart 🙏❤😘 That is a great man, she is so blessed to have him in her life!!
She will go on to save lives, so his legacy will live on and on. Big hearted guy right there.
Top Bloke, God bless him.
So good to serve the world with kindness...
Inspiration! I wish I could tell this man how wonderful he is. God bless
I am sad to say that he died may 25th, 2017.

You sir are awesome!
rip benjamin olewine guys he is gone but his legacy continues
i grew up in eastern germany and became a nurse. my school education at a nursing school was paid by the state together with a pocket money. the boarding school only cost 35 east mark a month with full board. that was 45 years ago
A class act plain and simple.
He is an angel on earth .
A man with a big heart!
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.”
If I won a lot of money I'd endow a nursing scholarship named for my mom. It's how she got through nursing school in the early 50's.
Bless her and bless him too what a story
God bless them, and you for sharing this with me!
Bless him. What a wonderful use of your success.

THANK YOU MR. BENJAMIN OLEWINE III! WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S ANGELS! MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE GOOD & GENEROUS YEARS! THE EARTH WILL MISS YOU DEARLY WHEN YOU ARE GONE!
Jake Hollywood How about we just offer gratitude and compassion to this remarkable man. He is responsible for what he decided to do so why cheapen it with the supernatural?
sheikhyaboooty He isn't cheapening it, he's making it more real, hoping God will bless him, ya know.....God....who made it possible for you to be on this earth :) I dare you to read Psalms 139!
he died this year
5/27/2017 i looked it up
sheikhyaboooty is a HATEFUL, Racist bigot.
Paloma San Basilio They sure are!
Just one act of kindness can have huge dividends down the road.
Benjamin Olewine passed away in 2017. This video is a small peek into the life of a wonderful man with a big heart. He will be remembered.
Big tipper for sure. Good bless you sir
Rest in Peace Benjamin Olewine III - I just found out about your story and it is really touching.
God bless this gentleman.
What an awesome story!!!!
Aspiring students should be able to follow their dreams and succeed without crushing debt. The profit needs to be taking out of our schools of higher learning. Melissa had an angel sent to her. And what a man he is. Why have money if one doesn't share it? Most well off people don't.
Benjamin Olewine passed away May 27, 2017 at age 95.
Hes now an angel. He'll always look out for her. Rip
If that doesn’t make you smile, there’s something seriously wrong!
thank u so much
truly bless
What a wonderful soul. However, education should be free and accessible to ALL!
I agree! :D At least this beautiful angel of a man is gonna make sure it is free for one more beautiful soul! THANK YOU! :D
awesome story
These are great segments, hope CBS Evening News keeps them going, people need such stories and wonderful examples.
Real lovely souls .
He is earning his place in heaven that’s for sure, God bless his heart ❤️
A very nice thing to say
Yes this beautiful soul is in heaven and still being kind. A man of true class
I certainly don't disagree with him being a kind man but good works don't get us to heaven. One way to heaven and that's to repent for our sins and ask jesus christ in to our hearts. This man probably is a man of God so he's reaping his rewards.
You are a beautiful blessing sir ❤️
God bless this man
Great story.
True blessing!
Chills up my spine….
