Five!

vixmom · « **Reply #121 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:37:45 PM »

You know I went through the entire work day without wanting to kill anyone

vixmom · « **Reply #122 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:37:55 PM »

I count that as a win

vixmom · « **Reply #123 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:38:54 PM »

Then I left work at 6 with a handle of bed bath and beyond coupons gifted me by one of our Closers

vixmom · « **Reply #124 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:40:45 PM »

And armed with those and a $25 BB&B gift card found in an old handbag of mine I bought a spice storage system and two "stick them anywhere" LEd lights for my closet and crawlspace

Arrived home , put out the garbage pail and vixdad pulled into the driveway and offered to take me to Ihob for dinner

I had their new mushroom Swiss burger and vixdad had some sort of breakfast burger hybrid thingy... It had a potatoe pancake under the burger and a fried egg on top

He declared it delicious

Vixdad makes little origami shirts out of dollar bills and leaves one with the tip if the service has been particularly good

vixmom · « **Reply #129 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:45:15 PM »

The service here is usually excellent because management is caring and leads by example

vixmom · « **Reply #130 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:47:23 PM »

many of the wait staff work for years and years at this location often starting in hostess and bus capacities and eventually becoming wait staff and assistant managers

vixmom · « **Reply #131 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:47:55 PM »

Over the years most of the staff have received one or more shirts from Vixdad

vixmom · « **Reply #132 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:48:25 PM »

We didn't realize how much they were treasured until today.

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:50:41 PM »

One of the long time staff came over and told Vixdad that her daughter just started working and asked him to make her a shirt (she provided the dollar) that she could leave as a tip when her daughter waited on her

John G. · « **Reply #134 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:52:13 PM »

Good night, all.

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:52:27 PM »

As he was obliging her our waitress came over,a new girl we had not seen before and her eyes got wide and she said "you're the shirt man?'" I've heard about you!!

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:53:52 PM »

It turns out that the wait staff all save their shirt dollars and brag when they are given one and who has the most.

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:54:46 PM »

Vixdad explained that he only leaves them for excellent service

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:55:04 PM »

Our service today was particularly good

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:55:30 PM »

Vixdad ended up leaving a 30% tip

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:55:49 PM »

And hidden between the bills was a shirt dollar

vixmom · « **Reply #141 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:56:34 PM »

All in all a pretty darn good day

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** July 05, 2018, 08:59:48 PM »
