Ask any waiter or waitress and they'll tell you that they occasionally work a slow night when they know they're not going to earn much in tips and it's a bummer, but one 19-year-old waiter might actually start requesting to work those slow nights.

Brendan Motill wasn't expecting a very good night because it was so slow at the restaurant where he was working. Little did he know that the customer he'd chatted with for a while was going to leave the largest tip he could ever imagine.

Motill says he was completely stunned with he returned to the table to collect the bill and saw a $1,000 tip. And get this- the entire meal only cost the customer $20.

Along with the tip was a note which read, "You're doing a great job as a server. I'm not sure what your hopes and dreams are in this life, but I hope this tip helps. My hope is that people are more peaceful to each other. The world can be so negative and violent. I commit random acts of kindness so that others know there can be another way. Peace be with you, brother!"

Motill says he's going to put the tip money toward his college education.
