A man left a tip of $10,000 (Rs 1,653,433) at a restaurant in the American state of Florida to reward restaurant workers for their hard work.

“On Tuesday night, a customer asked our entire restaurant staff to come to the dining area. He thanked them for showing up and working hard,” the restaurant stated in a social media post.

“Then something incredible happened. He told them he was giving them $1,000 each. Our staff couldn’t believe it,” the statement added.

Wahoo Seafood Grill’s owner, Shawn Shepherd said, “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 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.”
