Kyle Oreffice and Josh Gibson are back at it, bringing joy and a little extra cash to unsuspecting people.
The duo behind the Give Back Films YouTube channel uploaded a video over the weekend in which they are shown tipping a hotel cleaner $500. According to the manager at the Park City, Utah, hotel, the lodge’s maid had just quit when a woman walked in with no money, looking for a place to stay. When the woman inquired about the “Now Hiring” sign out front, the manager told her what the position was. The woman took the gig.
“She’s done a great job, excellent job,” the manager says in the video. “We were running out of towels and everything. We needed to get our laundry done. Well, she went in, and not only did she start the laundry, but she started organizing it. … I went in there and I just went, ‘Wow. Where did you come from?’”
Oreffice and Gibson placed $500 in $20 bills under the sheets of a bed in a hotel room that the woman was scheduled to clean. The filmmakers then outfitted the room with cameras and a portable microphone to catch her reaction.
The cleaner literally stops in her tracks when she sees the money, and she is immediately moved to tears. As she folds the bills, she sees the note left by the two YouTube users and begins to cry more.
