Despite all the bad things happening in the United States recently, we cannot deny more good people still exists who continue to remind us of “humanity.”

And we just witnessed it happened at a Waffle House restaurant in Chamblee, Georgia.

It all started with a bet during the fantasy football season, in which Michael Carsley loses from his friends. So he man-up and take the consequence and went to the closest Waffle House to his home in Chamblee, Georgia.

Carsley would stay inside the restaurant for twenty-four hours minus an hour for every waffle he consumed. And because he did not want to spend the rest of his life in the breakfast restaurant, he would eat as many waffles as he could.

Surprisingly, he decided to take the challenge one step further. Instead of eating his waffles in silence, he decided to broadcast the challenge on social media for all of his friends and acquaintances to see and makes the day for Mosammat Shumi, a long-time Waffle House server in the Atlanta area.

In the end, Carsley ate eighteen waffles and had to spend six hours in the restaurant. The bill came to $50 for waffles and was perhaps the most difficult experience of his life, he said. The one-man eating contest was lonely and difficult but was made so much better because of the kind waitress who served him his meals.

When Carsley set out to complete his Waffle House sentence, he unexpectedly was able to use it as an opportunity to raise money for his server. After posting about his eating challenge on Facebook, Carsley’s friends expressed interest in doing something nice for his server given how the hospitality industry has been greatly impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Carsley wound up live streaming the event and shared his Venmo handle so people could donate, and raised $1,040 for Shumi for his version of Game Day on January 3 — which involved polishing off 18 waffles.

“It was priceless. One of the better feelings I’ve ever had,” Georgia resident Michael Carsley says of surprising his server Mosammat Shumi with a big tip.

Simple kind things that you bring out into the world, will always have their way of coming back to you despite the height of the pandemic, it’s just so worth witnessing.

We just hope that we can have more of Carsley’s kind.
