"This is my response to the idiot who tipped five cents because of masks. Feel free to move out of the state of Nebraska. Thanks for wearing masks. Let's see if this makes the news,” the customer's note read, Hughbank told local outlet KOLN.

The anonymous patron is referencing a story that went viral earlier this month, which also took place in Lincoln.

Waitress Ali Siverhus was working at a restaurant when she said a customer left her a 5-cent tip on a $38.15 tab, and a note that read “get rid of masks, tips will be bigger.”

"I cried," said Hughbanks to KOLN. "I think it's beautiful. You know we're not just doing this for ourselves were doing it for everyone. It made me cry that I got the recognition but I think it could have been anybody."
