Tis the season to give back. A group of strangers came together to help a Utica bartender, who had to put her wedding on hold due to the coronavirus, with a $400 tip. Emma Deis works at Nail Creek Pub in Utica. She was brought to tears by the generosity of complete strangers, who have come together donating money to Kitchen Chaos Pays Off, helping those who need it most. "I've always seen things like this happening and thought it was so sweet, but never thought it would happen to me." said Deis through her tears. Deis has planned to get married in September, on the 10th anniversary of her first date. Those plans had to be put on hold because of COVID. The coronavirus not only postponed her wedding, it's hurting her livelihood. Deis relies on tips but with less people eating and drinking, those tips aren't what they use to be.
