Jessica Osborne was so nice to one set of frequent patrons of the Indiana pizza restaurant where she works that they always requested her as their server.

Erica, this is a pretty good story, but you should have used the Fox News Link not the AOL page that requires you to click on another link to get to the story.

Here is a good article to follow when seeding: How To Seed Newsvine Effectively

    Hi, great story. Reminds me of the true story (later made into a movie) about the cop who tipped the waitress half of his lottery ticket -- which later won a share of a humongous pot. Film was It Could Happen to You, with Nic Cage and Bridget Fonda.
