On \u201cFox &amp; Friends,\u201d Schaffer said, \u201cI just think that I was in the right place at the right time and just got exceptionally lucky. It\u2019s been insane. My family\u2019s been sending me almost every article that\u2019s been written. My sister\u2019s telling me that I\u2019m famous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schaffer was working a Sunday shift when he learned an 18-person party would be coming in to eat, including a celebrity with security personnel. Immediately, Schaffer and his co-worker helping serve the table realized it was Jason Derulo. Schaffer said, \u201cMy co-worker tells us that it\u2019s Jason Derulo. And that kind of sparked the question of why he was in Omaha. And we came to find out that his business partner and himself had bought a stake in a national volleyball league team that would be based in Omaha. And so they were just coming in for a nice dinner with their family.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jasonderulo\/video\/7208257341563637034\" data-video-id=\"7208257341563637034\">\n<section><a title=\"@jasonderulo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jasonderulo?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@jasonderulo<\/a> Blessed to be a blessing ??@jordanschaffer2 <a title=\"\u266c Nuvole Bianche - Yuval Salomon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Nuvole-Bianche-6740262844136163330?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Nuvole Bianche &#8211; Yuval Salomon<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Derulo\u2019s bill was nearly $800, but he left a roughly 650 percent tip. Schaffer said, \u201cI think my mind just kind of went blank. I remember asking him if he was sure that he wanted to tip us that much. It\u2019s just such a large amount of money that it almost didn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The $5,000 tip was split between Schaffer and his co-worker, but Schaffer put his half to good use. He was hit with a $50 late fee for his school semester bill, due about a week before Derulo came to the restaurant, so the tip came just in time. Schaffer said, \u201cThat\u2019s probably the craziest part about all this. The week before, I\u2019d actually been hit with a $50 late fee. And so, getting that money, I was able to pay it off the next day because of all this generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schaffer posted a TikTok detailing the event, and Derulo commented back, saying, \u201cYou seem like a great person. Thank you for taking such great care of our fam. Keep spreading the love, bro.\u201d The singer reshared to Schaffer\u2019s TikTok, prompting the whole exchange to go viral.<\/p>\n<p>Since the \u201cinsane\u201d encounter, Schaffer shared he learned a lesson about\u00a0customer service\u00a0and interacting with others.\u00a0He said, \u201cI just learned that it doesn\u2019t matter who you\u2019re serving. If you give them the right kind of service, it might end up touching them in a way you weren\u2019t expecting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason Derulo blessed Jordan Schaffer and his co-worker without realizing it. He didn\u2019t know about Schaffer\u2019s school situation and how he needed that money. He also didn\u2019t know if Jordan\u2019s co-worker was struggling financially, but he did what he could to spread kindness and compassion. We should all follow Jason Derulo\u2019s lead and spread the love when possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Schaffer, a server at Charleston\u2019s Restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska, had a fortunate shift, receiving a $5,000 tip from pop star Jason Derulo.
