Tip of a lifetime

Local server gets a big surprise

Posted

Audrey Pacheco, right, a server at the Game II in Las Cruces, reacts, shaking with shock, surprise as Christi Getz counts out $1,200 in tip money.

Inspired by a Venmo and TicToc challenge, Getz and Jenni Nowlin, left, are members of the Las Cruces Real Estate Gals who are visiting local restaurants and surprising a lucky server with a cash gift of donated money once a month. Raising money through Venmo, PayPal and Facebook, they draw an area restaurant name from a hat and enjoy a meal followed by a cash tip beyond expectations.

Pacheco, who said she is “super grateful” will be using some of the money to support her 8-year-old daughter's  cheerleading endeavors.
