Good thing that comes to those who wait?
Answer:
TIP
Hint:
A little extra given for service might be worth the delay.
Explanation:
This clue plays on the phrase "good things come to those who wait," but it’s a sneaky misdirection. Instead of referring to patience, it hints at a "tip"—the kind you leave for good service, which is a "good thing" for servers who wait (on tables). The word "wait" here is a double meaning, tying the idea of waiting in time to the job of a waiter.
