Tennessee Waitress Receives Tip That Brought Her to Tears (Photo)

A Tennessee waitress found herself wiping away tears on Sunday after a kindly couple left her a big tip on their little check.

But it wasn’t just the $36 that had 25-year-old Claire Hudson crying. Along with the tip, the couple left a note explaining their generosity.

“Today is my brother’s b-day,” read the note. “He would have been 36 today. Every year I go eat his favorite meal (hot dogs) and tip the waitress his age. Happy b-day Wes.”

“I’ve been a server for several years and this is the best tip I’ve ever gotten,” she told Today.com, adding that she didn’t see the receipt until after they left. “Not because of the money, but because of the meaning.”

Hudson uploaded the photo to Reddit and it quickly went viral, thanks to the touching message. She told ABC.com that she hopes the popularity of the photo will help her locate the customer.

“We want to see what his brother Wes liked on his hot dogs because we’d like to name a hot dog after him,” she said.

“I have a friend, he was my best friend, he died about three years ago. This experience has definitely given me the idea to do the same thing on his birthday every year. It was deeply moving and just the coolest thing that’s ever happened.”
