'I needed to clear my conscience': Server is miffed by 3% tip, gets a holiday miracle the next day when customer comes back to give additional 50% tip and an apology

HOLY MOLY, a human was decent. Alert the news! Sound the sirens! Everybody hold hands and enjoy this moment of faith being restored in humanity. It's quit uncommon to find a store on the internet that does just that. Usually, it's people venting about some horrible incident with a Karen or incompetent manager that makes life feel unbearable. But, hey, it's the holiday season! Some wholesomeness and empathy is called for. This Redditor recalls an embarrassing moment in his life that he will never forget. Long story short, he was in charge of a work lunch that racked up a pretty penny. When it came to the check, he put it on the card, signed, and was off. Everything went smoothly until he realized at night (as one does when rethinking their life choices) that he grossly did the math incorrectly. He had only tipped around 3% instead of 20%. He was red in the face as he tried to go to sleep. The next day he went back to the restaurant and demanded to see the server. She approached him warily, thinking she was about to get Karen'ed or get in trouble, but instead he profusely apologized and handed her about a 50% tip in cash. You see, sometimes miracles do happen!
