A student waitress from Australia burst into tears after receiving a whopping $10,000 (£5,677) tip from a mystery customer.
University student Lauren, who lives in Melbourne, couldn't believe her luck when a generous diner added the mammoth tip to his $500 (£285) food bill at the restaurant where she works.
Lauren, who has said she is "extremely grateful", explained that the staff at the Gilson restaurant in South Yarra, Melbourne, share the tips between their 23 staff, but the diner had said he would only leave the tip if she got 70% of it.
Gilson is a trendy Italian restaurant which is frequently visited by social media influencers and reality TV stars.
The diner, who is believed to be a young billionaire businessman who works in cryptocurrency, told the waitress to keep $7,000 (£3,974) for herself and distribute the remaining $3,000 (£1,703) among her colleagues.
The student explained that she asked the diner, who is believed to own more than $120 million (£62m) worth of property in Toorak, to say the number out loud because she didn't believe her eyes.
Lauren told 7NEWS: "I am just extremely grateful, to know that they thought that much of my service is amazing."
After it happened Lauren ran straight to her colleague Charlotte Crow, who told the publication: "She came up to me crying, she was like 'is this real? Was it a mistake, what do I do?'".
Since then Lauren has keep going over what happened in her head, and said it still feels "surreal and amazing".
Her colleagues agree that she's a hard worker, and that she should spend the enormous tip on a holiday.
Meanwhile, cafe owner Jamie McBride has said he is believed that his hard-working employee is getting some extra recognition.
He told the Herald Sun that the staff were "overwhelmingly proud of Lauren" and that they were "taken aback by the generosity of the table in question".
The cafe owner said Lauren "just burst into tears".
Lauren, who has never been overseas, said that the tip was going to "help a lot" towards her holiday.
