A customer at The Omaha Bakery in Nebraska ordered two turnovers, and in return put forth a huge tip.

"Everybody was freaking out in here, they were like 'you guys won't believe what just happened!'" employee Preston Rath said.

Rath thought he was doing a typical transaction at the bakery.

"He ordered two turnovers which came to $5 and as I'm ringing them up he kind of snickers a little bit as he turns the screen back to me," Rath said.

When the customer, Nicholas, turned the screen around, Rath noticed his $2,000 tip.

"And I was like that's wrong, you put too much of a tip in there. And he goes 'if you don't hit OK, I'm going to reach around and hit OK,'" Rath said.

"You hear about these things in big cities and you see it on the internet, but you never think it's going to happen at your business," owner Michelle Kaiser said.

Kaiser said the money will be dispersed between hourly employees only, no managers.

"He knew that it had been a rough time with COVID, he knew that people were struggling in general. He noticed our staff was working really, really hard," Kaiser said.

Rath hopes the kindness that Nicholas showed doesn't stop with him.

"You don't have to give random strangers $2,000 but even just saying 'have a good day' can help somebody go from a zero to a 10," he said.

St. Lawrence Bakery, Cincinnati staple of 120 years, closes its doors

Updated: 6:04 PM EDT Aug 2, 2021

St. Lawrence Bakery, a Cincinnati staple of 120 years, is closing its doors. First opened in 1901, the popular bakery — located in the 3700 block of Saint Lawrence Avenue in East Price Hill — posted a sign in its window, indicating it will close shop after more than a century of business. "Due to landlord electrical issues, we have been forced to close our doors," that sign said. "We thank our customers for your loyalty, friendship and keeping us in business for 120 years."Calls to the bakery went unanswered Monday, and owners did not elaborate on the sudden closure. The family-owned, old-fashioned bakery was a favorite among generations of west siders, known for everything from its cookies, jelly rolls, doughnuts, coffee cakes and breads.
