Derulo’s surprise visit and generous tip were perfect timing as Schaffer, at the time, was in a bind for cash for college. The token of appreciation helped him pay for a semester.

“Tuition was actually due last week and I hadn’t been able to pay it. So, getting that money just really took a lot of stress out of my life,” he said, according to the outlet.

After receiving his own act of kindness, Schaffer looked out for his team just as they did for him. He told the outlet that he split the $5,000 with one of his co-workers.

“It went as perfect as it could have,” Schaffer said about his team’s support in serving Derulo and his party, KETV reports. “Charleston’s is really into teamwork, so my coworkers really just kind of help me make his experience as perfect as it could’ve been.”
