Thoughtful Thursday

Every year at Christmastime, I like to go to a restaurant--preferably a low-budget sitdown place like Waffle House, Frisch's, Bob Evans and the like--and leave a big tip for the waitress. "Big" is a relative term here. If we eat something small where a $2 would be 20%, then we leave $5 or $10 as the tip. I remember all the years I worked as a server at a low-budget restaurant and any time I got a tip that was $5 or more, I was ecstatic. At these low-budget places, a "big" tip is rare so when someone receives one, it makes their day. Think about it. It's an average guy's way to make someone's day or maybe even Christmas.
