When dining out, it’s custom to leave an 18-20% tip after receiving good service, but Frankie Ballard went above and beyond that on Wednesday (July 26) when he left a waitress a tip worth 450% of his bill.

Kourtney Kipp, who works at Mancino’s Pizza and Grinders in Ballard’s hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan, took to Facebook after her shift to share a photo of the receipt and write a public thank you to the country star who left her a $100 tip on a $22.37 check.

“Soooo tonight this guy casually walked in to pick up his $22 dollar order as I gawked from a distance asking myself if I’m really looking at who I think I’m looking at….. then this guy paid for his food and left this very generous tip. This guy is Frankie Ballard,” she wrote in a post that has garnered nearly 350 shares and more than 1,200 likes. “Thank you so so much, the littlest things can turn somebody’s day around. The crew truly appreciated your appearance tonight, even if some of us were a little too star struck to say so.”

Comments from Kipp’s friends poured in, praising Ballard for his generosity. One person even called him the “pride and joy” of Battle Creek (how sweet!).
