A waiter was left in disbelief after a popular TikToker surprised him with a $1,000 dollar tip.

Lexy Burke is known on the platform for raising money from her followers to go towards hefty tips for deserving wait staff. And a recent video of hers has gone viral due to the server's very heartwarming reaction to receiving an eye-watering tip.

The short clip is captioned: "Because of y'all we got to surprise Al with $1000, wait 'til you see his reaction."

In the video, Lexy asks the server what his Venmo account name is so that she can transfer him the money for the tip, which her followers had pitched in to help raise.

The unsuspecting waiter, most likely thinking the tip was a standard 15-20%, then grabs his phone so the generous diner can make the Venmo transfer.

Moments after the transfer is made, the waiter realizes it was no ordinary tip and had personally received a sizable lump sum for his pocket alone. Grateful to Lexy, he tells her how much the gesture means to him and gives her a hug.

The post has since racked up over 2 million views, 390,000 likes, and more than 3,000 comments at the time of writing.

Needless to say, plenty of Lexy's followers were touched by the incredibly kind gesture, with one person taking to the comments to write: "Yess I love how you do Venmo payments so the restaurant owners can't force the server to split the tip."

Another wrote: "Amazing what 1000$ can do for one person. If only there was enough money to go around."

While a third said: "Omg you can tell by the hug he needed it. My heart!!!!!"
