The waitress who got the massive hookup was going through some tough times.

The man who left the tip is from New York. His name is Mike. That's all we know.

The story goes, Mike overheard the woman talking about how she was getting close to eviction and that's when he stepped in. His bill was just under $44. Mike left her a $3,000 tip...and a note.

On the other side of the receipt he told the server:

My only requirements are: 1) Go to ReesSpechtLife.com and learn. 2) Don’t let ‘Pay it forward’ end with you. 3) Since it’s about the idea and not about you, or me, if you decide to share this, don’t use either of our names! Thank you for being around for all of my shows on and off Broadway. I hope that someday someone gives as much love and happiness into the world as you do."
