The poor old lady began to cry when the waiter brought her bill.

Someone helped an older woman find a quiet spot to eat then left. But a short time later she saw her cry uncontrollably when she saw the bill.
At the restaurant where littleaprilroses worked he was used to having different people over. But one customer stood out to him. An older woman who looked nice walked in and looked confused while she was filling a host shift.
Someone on Reddit tried to seat her in the main dining area but the woman asked to be moved to a quieter area so she could talk to her son. The waiter looked around but there were no more seats available.
 

One table finally opened up after almost an hour. The person who posted the original message OP gave the woman a seat and then left to help other guests. She became aware that something was wrong with her later on. The OP said this
After about 30 minutes I saw that her son still wasnt there. Shes still sitting alone after another 30 minutes.
The woman looked antsy as she poked at her food and looked at her phone all the time. Even the later guests left early but the woman stayed in her place and looked upset.
Following a short time the OP heard another waiter talking to the boss about the customer at table 11. When she saw that it was the older womans table she asked her coworker what had happened. The OP went into
On top of that her son was supposed to pay but he never showed up or called to cancel.
The older woman started to cry and said that seeing the bill made her feel like a dark cloud was over her. The boss walked right over to her table. There was no way she could help her. The boss told her she didnt have to pay for the food when she left so everyone felt bad. The OP also said
She said she was sorry several times and said she would pay for her food tomorrow.
