[originaltext]A waiter has returned a check worth nearly $424,000 to the retire

A waiter has returned a check worth nearly $424,000 to the retired social worker who lost it. The waiter found a bank envelope while cleaning off a table last Saturday at a restaurant. He ran outside but the customer was gone. He opened the envelope and got a shock. After an unsuccessful search, the restaurant’s owner called the Daily News for help. The “relieved” customer was reunited with her check on Wednesday. It contained money from her apartment sale, already planned for a down payment on a new home. The customer did not tip the waiter after her meal. She tried to give him money later on, but he graciously declined. The waiter, who’s working his way through school, did accept the customer’s apology and gratitude and said he was happy to have helped her.
