South Africans are delighted and are praising one kind local woman who tipped workers at Chartwell Castle Vinyards. According to a post on Facebook through the #ImStaying page, the client left the staffers with a more than 100% tip.

Julie Hulme seems to be grateful to the workers who served her well and decided to share. It seems she was billed for R339,00 and the kind-hearted woman opted to pay R700.

“Every little helps. Wanted to show appreciation for the girls and guys who work so hard... and places are very quiet these days. #ImStaying #spreadthelove”

@Lungisa Bhunge said:

“So many experts we've here... Julie's intention is to encourage the culture of giving a tip which is I second her million times. Some of y'all are bosses or owners of those restaurants, and y'all know it very well how you underpaid those waiters.”

@William Hornblower said:

“It's great that people post on social media about things like this, surely they are not gloating but trying to encourage others to do the same, please people, keep your comments positive.”

@Oduduwa Tsidi said:

“That tip plus the hand is more than blessed, the poster wanted to motivate all of us who can afford to support/appreciate the waiters. I also get your point though.”

“I remember that Ari Onassis once gave a waitress a $350 tip. It was all over in newspapers. Perhaps 30 years ago?”

@Sudika Ragoonandan said:

“Waiters are blessed... Those who are in delivery and courier aren't so lucky because the people who tip won't be able to put it on Facebook...”

@Vuyelwa Xola said:

“I don't understand why are people making an issue out of nothing, the fact is they did a good thing, some people don't even tip and here they are being loud, wow, well done Julie, ignore all the haters.”
