ABC 11 shared this feel-good story about a server at Pizza Ranch in Independence, Missouri. They report that Ryheem Lumpkins just started his job at the restaurant a month ago mostly working behind the front register and sweeping floors.

Robert Samay gave Ryheem a $5 tip and was taken by how the young man carried himself so he decided to return.

Robert and his wife started handing Ryheem $50 bills...until the total reached $2,500. Amazing.

The young man was understandably overwhelmed with emotion over the kindness of this customer he had just met a month ago.

So much to love about this. First of all, a teenager who's working hard and a family who appreciates that hard work and rewards it. Absolutely love it.

For a world that badly needs more kindness, more stories like this, please. Congrats Ryheem on a job well done and to Robert and his wife for showing the world that kindness to strangers is not only possible, but a real outcome.
