The wait staff at a diner in Bellevue, Washington were happily stunned when a regular patron left an enormous tip.
Dwayne Clark frequents The Brief Encounter Cafe, sitting in the same booth and ordering the same breakfast.
The staff thought there was a mistake when Clark left a $3,000 tip on his $39.60 bill.
Then they turned the bill over and read the note he had written.
"You guys do a great job! When I was 7, I washed dishes and my mom cooked in a diner like this. We were dirt poor and didn't have money for Christmas. Hopefully, this will help all of you have a better Christmas."
The staff, understandably, were in tears.
