Most of the time, when a server posts a note a customer left on social media, it tends to be for a pretty bad reason… like a faker trying to get money and sympathy. But this time, the note this waitress received after getting a $36 tip may leave you in tears.

A waitress served a man hot dogs on Sunday and received a very generous $36 tip. But she didn’t realize the significance of the number until she flipped over the receipt.

On the back of the receipt, the customer wrote:

Today is my brother’s b-day. 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.

Moved by the act, the waitress then posted a photo of the message on social media.

Hopefully, she will be grateful for this, not because she got a large tip, but because of the beautiful gesture. It’s a wonderful way for this man to honor his brother, and for this waitress, hopefully a way for her to think about ways to honor the people in her life, too.
