A Tennessee waitress was stunned after her customers served her a supersized tip.

The unidentified family’s bill for a Wednesday night out at Cheddar's in Knoxville came up to $29.30. But when Khadijah Muhammad picked up their receipt, she saw an extra $1,075.

That's a tip of 3,669%.

"I just remember seeing a comma after the one and knew it wasn't $10. And I was like, 'Oh, my God!'” the waitress told WBIR. “And I just lost my balance and I was like, 'Does this say a thousand dollars?' I could not believe it."

A blessing to be sure.

The waitress should have kept this to herself. Why does she feel the need to get involved in a media circus over this? Bizarre.

Some people just like to surprise.

Unless it's one of these apocryphal stories that get bandied around - this is not the first time I have heard something similar so I guess it might be that.

Actually, what is bizzare is your failure to make that statement when the Gay chick made the same claim in reverse... that she was left an ugly message instead of a tip.

She turned out to be phony and your sentiment is as well.

No it's not. I don't post in or read every thread, I don't feel under any pressure to comment about everything that comes up. That you think I should be is even more bizarre than my earlier statement. If I was an anonymous donor I would want my donation to remain anonymous, that would be the point of it. Not sure why my sentiment is phoney, I haven't displayed any. I have said that I think if this is true the waitress displays poor judgement. I still think that.

The family remained anonymous.

Not sure why you are so hostile to these nice people.

As for the coverage, often times, hearing about such stories inspires others to do similar acts for others.

The lady who received the tip says she too wants to bless others in the future.

Personally, think the family arrived in Tenn from Ohio and the spirit of the South prompted them to help others.

In the round of course it's nice to know that there are good people in the world but getting your 10 minutes of fame in this way is in my personal opinion a poor judgement call. Stop trying to make out this is more than it is.

So, feel good stories need to be kept quiet?

Why? So everyone can be miserable?

What's wrong with hearing about a little upbeat human interest story?

Only some people.

Nice twist but no, I didn't say they should be kept quiet, I said in my opinion it's not a very good judgement call to get your 10 minutes of fame this way. You want to extrapolate from that all kinds of nonsense, go ahead.

Calling this a feel good story is to extrapolate all kinds of nonsense?

That's a really jaded attitude to take from that.
