The young employee of a pizzeria who received a tip of 2,500 dollars

Ryheem Lumpkins is a 16-year-old student who works at Pizza Ranch, a restaurant located in the city of Independence (Missouri, USA). Although his hands and arms never fully developed, he fills a variety of roles on the premises. Due to his efforts, he recently received a $2,500 tip.

It was all because he made a great impression on Robert Samay, a client who, according to People, gave him a $5 tip last month. Since he considered that this amount was not enough, he returned to the restaurant last Tuesday.

Then a friend of his started handing Ryheem several bills. She didn’t stop counting until she got to $2,500. The young employee, who runs the cash register and also cleans at the food store, couldn’t help but be moved by the gesture. He ended up giving the client an emotional hug.

“To be honest, I was speechless. Never in my life had something like this happened to me.”stressed Ryheem, according to WSAZ. “That right there showed me that there are more people in the world who really care about me”he added.

“God made me this way for a reason”

Regarding the fact that his hands and arms never fully developed, the young man indicated: “I don’t describe it as a condition. God made me this way for a reason. I am a normal person. I don’t consider it a disability. Nothing prevents me. If I feel like I can do it, I can do it”. He hopes to one day be a motivational speaker for kids like him. It was learned that he was saving to buy his first car. As a result of the tip, he hopes to acquire it soon.
