A local couple has gone viral for paying it forward recently when they were out to eat. Makenzie and Steven Schultz were receiving slow service but decided to handle it differently than most people would.

Instead of getting upset at the waiter, they assessed the situation and saw that their waiter was covering 12 tables and the bar -- way more than any one person can handle. They realized their waiter would probably get poor tips from most of the other patrons because of the slow service, so they decided to pay it forward and leave him an extra big tip.

Check out Makenzie's post below and remember next time you're out to eat and you're not happy with the service you're receiving, that it may be beyond your waiter or waitresses control.
