“I’m crying, you’re crying, we’re all crying!”

That was the reaction from a Michigan restaurant this week after a customer left a massive $10,000 tip on a $32 check.

The Mason Jar Cafe in Benton Harbor, along the Lake Michigan shoreline, posted about the epic moment on their Facebook page. The restaurant said the server shared the tip amongst other staff to spread the love.

“In a time where so much is happening, we wanted to share and thank the person who did this life changing act. Things can feel real heavy sometimes, but this was such an amazing act to have seen first hand in our restaurant,” the restaurant said in the post. “So to everyone doing what they can for themselves, and for others, we see you, thank you, and appreciate you. Keep sharing the love where you can folks.”

By the way, if you’re wondering, that was tipping at about 32,000% of the bill.
