Someone was feeling extra generous!

This act of kindness happened at The Wahoo Seafood Grill in Gainesville, Florida earlier this month. The customer who left the tip wanted to thank the staff for “showing up and working hard.”

According to upi.com, the owner of the restaurant Shawn Shepherd stated,

“I’m not usually an emotional guy, but this really got me. I’m blown away. We’re ALL blown away by his generosity.”

The man announced that he would be tipping $1,000 to each of the 10 workers.

The owner continued,

“The last year and a half hasn’t been easy on this industry. We’re hurting and we’re exhausted, but this incredible act of kindness has restored our faith in humanity.”

Take a look at the $10,000 tip below!

8 Ways to Save on Summer Travel

• Cash In Airline Miles

  Share

  What's the point of collecting miles if you don't cash them in? Take full advantage of using your points for summer trips. You'd be surprised at how much you can save with them!

• Planning A Summer Road Trip

  Share

  Did you know that road trips can be fun AND affordable? They are an excellent way to see more than one part of the US. By taking your own car, you can save money instead of renting one and can also stave money by staying in cheap motels while grabbing food on the go.

• Theme Parks

  Share

  Theme parks can be expensive, unless you know how to do them on a budget. Several theme parks offer camping options nearby so you can save money on lodging while enjoying another adventure. In addition, you can also cook meals after a day in the park to avoid racking up those credit cards.
• Rent a Beach House with Friends

  Share

  Not only can renting a house with friends be fun, but it can also save you a good chunk of cash. Cocktails on your beachfront patio will also cost significantly less than they would at the local beachfront bar.

• Vacation Packages

  Share

  Bundling airfare and hotel for almost any destination can help you save on travel. Websites like Expedia.com, CheapCarribean.com or Kayak.com can help with that.

• All-Inclusive

  Share

  Due to some travel restrictions still in place, resorts are fairly cheap in places like Mexico and the Caribbean. Food, drinks, and entertainment are included in the nightly rate which will save you big money.
• Travel Off the Beaten Path

  Share

  Everyone wants to travel to the latest and greatest destination, but those are usually the most expensive places to travel. To save some cash, try vacationing in the suburbs of a major city, or in a beach or mountain destination that are geared to locals instead of tourists.

• BYOB

  Share

  Let's be real, alcohol can be very expensive and add up quickly. Whether you are at a hotel, resort, or rent a house, you can always bring your own booze.
