A longtime customer left a $1,000 tip on a $43.18 tab after dining at The Starving Artist restaurant in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Arnold Teixeira was unsure whether to share the story publicly, but decided others would be touched by the act of kindness and generosity recently bestowed upon his restaurant staff. The tip included a note that read, "Thank you so much for working through this tough time, my family looks forward to our mornings with you every summer... We are thankful for your delicious food and great smiles, please know we appreciate you very much." The tip was split among the seven members of Teixeira's staff working that day.
