North Carolina waitress offers to feed fussy infant so the mother could actually enjoy her meal
A waitress from North Carolina is now being applauded on social media after she was photographed helping out a customer by feeding her fussy 18-month-old baby girl so that the exhausted mother could enjoy her meal in peace at a local Olive Garden. Courtney Pedigo from Greensboro said that she was at the restaurant with her daughter Harlynn, her stepmother, and a few other friends on October 1. She said that once in the restaurant, Harlynn "wouldn't sit still." The 24-year-old mother spoke out and said: "Harlynn, it was getting to be her bedtime and I could tell it wasn’t gonna be a good sit-down meal."
She continued telling PEOPLE: "I tried occupying her with some movies on my phone, I tried holding her. She was just getting really fussy and whiny. I was just getting overwhelmed. I knew it was time to go out to the car." The young mother found Nianni Rudder, her waitress, and asked for a to-go box so that she could take the child to the car and eat there.
