An Alaska church has given a pizza delivery driver's wages an extra topping - tipping him a whopping 1,900 dollars (£1,230) as he was out earning his crust.
Chugach Covenant Church's slice of generosity has topped another congregation's 1,000-dollar (£650) tip.
When Ken Felber, a delivery driver for 14 years, arrived at the Anchorage church, pastor Dan Krause asked him what was his best-ever tip, television station KTVA said.
When he replied "100 dollars", Mr Krause asked him: "How does a tip of 1,900 sound?"
Mr Felber, mindful of his heavenly surroundings, replied: "Oh, heck, no!" He said it was the coolest thing that had ever happened to him. He said he had no plans to splurge because he needed new snow tyres and had medical expenses. But he does plan to take his wife out for a good spaghetti dinner.
Mr Krause said it was an opportunity to do something small that would really have a big impact on somebody's life.
On October 4, a delivery driver called Natasha shed tears of gratitude after the congregation of Sycamore Creek Church in Columbus, Ohio, gave her 1,000 dollars after she delivered a 5.99-dollar (£3.90) pizza.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
