A local restaurant in Cleveland received a holiday surprise as it was voluntarily closing due to C19



When Ring first looked at the check he thought it was a $300 tip, but after he put on his glasses he realized he missed a zero. It was a $3,000 tip on a $7 bill. He ran out to the customer to make sure he hadn't made a mistake.

"He said, "No, that's what I intended. Share it with the staff, good luck to you guys, Merry Christmas and we'll see you when you come back."'

Ring said he's known as a jokester with the staff -- so when shared the news with one of his waitresses, she thought he had pulled a prank.

"She said "Yeah right, you did that"... the next server I showed it too, she started crying, she knew it was legit," he said.

There were four servers working on Sunday, and each of them got $750 from the tip.
