Some silver lining. This popular assertion has again been verified in the life of a server by these times of epidemic in the United States, more precisely in California. Indeed, starting from a fairly banal story, the youngster was rewarded with a sum evaluated at more than 30,000 dollars. The lucky recipient of this sum had indeed refused to serve a client in a Starbucks in the city of San Diego, in the United States because she had not worn a mask. Furious, the white woman had published the server’s photo on the social network of Mark Zuckerberg with rather harsh words.
A lucky publication?
“Let me introduce you to Lenen of Strabucks who refused to serve me because I don’t wear a mask. Next time I’ll wait for the cops and bring my waiver ”, had published in comment the white woman. But thinking of doing harm to the server, this publication turned against it and was a great opportunity for the one it was targeting. This publication went viral with 100,000 reactions and comments from Internet users as well as 50,000 shares.
Most of the reactions are in favor of the server named Lenen. The white woman notably inherited a mocking first name « Karen ». This post was an opportunity for an Internet user who knows neither Adam nor Eve the server or the white woman to launch a fundraiser for the server. The tipping pot was launched on the “GoFunMe” platform.
“Tips for Lenin…”
The page was baptized: “Tips for Lenin who faced a Karen from San Diego”. “Raising funds for Lenin and his honorable effort to stand up to a free Karen”, had captioned on this page this surfer named Matt Cowan. Through a video, the young waiter thanked everyone who participated in this fundraiser and indicated that this sum will help him realize a dream. That of setting up a dance program in his community.
