Irish waiter Ben Millar was given an extremely generous tip by a customer in Houston so he could return to his native homeland.
The 22-year-old man told ABC News that he was working on November 19 when he spoke with a family who frequently visited Ireland.
Millar recalled, “I jokingly said, ‘I wish I could go back that often to see my family.’ I thought nothing of it, and we all joked after. The night went on, and I proceeded to give good service and talk to them.”
However, when Millar went to get their signed receipt, he found a $750 tip on a check totaling just under $123.
The waiter's pregnant girlfriend, Taryn Keith, posted an image of the receipt on Facebook; it shows that the customer, named Jeffrey, also included the message, “Hopefully, this can get you back to Ireland for the holidays.”
Millar says that he intends to use the money to take Keith and their new baby to Ireland after the birth.
And since he never got to thank Jeffrey before he left, Millar is hoping the story about his kindness will reach him.
