They say true friends let you know when you make mistakes.

Well, Reddit userAllieschellthought her bestie made such a big one that she told the whole internet about it, too.

Last week, she made aposton the subreddit ‘Server Life,’ about the evening the woman received a $20 instant lottery card as a tip from one of the clients.

She scratched before the customer left, and to her surprise, it won $50,000.

But Allieschell believes that what her friend did next was a crime against herself.

Working as a bartender can be exciting for those who like to interact with lots of different people. But the job is demanding.

“Whether you’re jacked up on adrenaline or not, the stress of the rush is there. When customers are yelling at you, a fight breaks out, and your managers are observing your every movement, you’re naturally going to feel some form of stress,” Tom Drake, who for the past 5 years has traveled around Europe, Asia, and Australia working as a professional bartender and bar manager,explained.

“Secondly, being a bartender will put a strain on intimate relationships with people who don’t work in the industry. You’re going to have to work nights, weekends, and holidays. And if your partner works a 9-5, it means you’re hardly ever going to see each other,” Drake added.

Constantly being around drinkers can have a negative influence on you in a lot of different ways. So you need to make the most of it.

In other words, like many in the hospitality industry, people behind the bar depend on their customers’ gratuity to make a living.

So you can understand why Allieschell wanted her friend to keep the lottery ticket. After all, what’s it worth if you give it back in case of a winning? Exactly, no more than toilet paper. Maybe even less, considering you probably couldn’t even use it to wipe your butt.

As her story went viral, the original poster (OP) updated her post
