Waitress Melina Salazar spent nearly seven years serving a notoriously rude customer who never left her a tip. When he died, she discovered that despite his behavior, he had named her in his will and left her $50,000. For nearly seven years, waitress Melina Salazar was the only server at a Luby’s Cafeteria in Brownsville, Texas, willing to regularly serve Walter “Buck” Swords. The 89-year-old World War II veteran had a reputation for being difficult, often cursing at staff, complaining about his meals, and insisting that his food be served extremely hot. He never left a tip. When Swords died in 2007, Salazar received an unexpected surprise. His estate lawyer informed her that Swords had left her $50,000 in cash and his 2000 Buick in his will, reportedly as a thank-you for the patience and kindness she had shown him over the years.
