Mystery Couple Picks Up Diners’ Tabs At Local Applebee’s

A mysterious Pennsylvania couple paid the tab for an entire party of 16 people at a local Applebee’s, reports KDKA.

Jolie Welling was celebrating her daughter’s sixth birthday on Sept. 26 at the chain restaurant in Washington, Pennsylvania, when she discovered the couple anonymously picked up their tab. KDKA reports that Welling posted on Facebook, “Thank you to the person that took care of the bill tonight at Applebee’s in Washington! This person paid for the whole party of 16. I have never had this happen before and it brought tears to everyone’s eyes.”

Samantha Powell, the server at Applebee’s on the night of the birthday and told KDKA, “I was almost in tears. It touches me, too.”

“They were just so surprised. They were like, ‘Oh my god. Who? Who?’ and they were looking around and wanted to know who it was, but I would not tell them,” Powell said to the local station, “He approached me to tell me to give them the check for that table.”

The Applebee’s couple does this frequently, according to Bernie Lewis, the restaurant’s assistant manager.

Darla Pepper-Miller, music director at the Church of the Covenant in Washington, was with her group of about six celebrating a birthday of one of their choir members when they discovered the tab was taken care of. “It’s good to know that there are people that care about each other and give, pay it forward,” Pepper-Miller said.

Powell and Lewis both have sworn to keep the couple’s secret; however, all Powell can reveal is that they own a local business and that the man once told her he pays for others’ checks because, “I grew up poor and now I’m not.”

KDKA also reports that the couple has been paying for Applebee’s customers two to three times a month for several years now. They sit at the bar and ask for the check of random parties, sometimes large.

The couple’s gesture speaks volumes, especially in a time when flaunting wealth is a common practice on social media. The couple has even insisted they remain anonymous, a gesture that is both extremely generous and wholesome. Faith in humanity, restored.
