Sam, The Grumpy Waitress & The Happy/Dancing Cooks
Sam Says he Got a Lousy Waitress But Went OVER HER HEAD -- Directly to the Cooks.
Because of the Pandemic 1000's of Restaurants have Closed.
And
Inside those Dining Establishments that Are Still Serving Sit-Down Meals -- Most of the Wait-Staff Have Been Fired.
The ones who Still Have a Job are in Two Different Camps.
CAMP #1 -- Happy to Have a Job. Smiling and UpBeat.
CAMP #2 -- Tired and Grumpy.
Sam has been Reading my FLIRT STORIES from around the Globe. And Shared how he Handled a GRUMPY WAITRESS.
Sam Sits Down at a Table.
Every other Table is Closed. Has a Big X Taped over it.
Waitress Comes over.
Sam Says, "I'd Like to Tip The Cooks. How many Cooks Working in The Kitchen today?"
Ms Grumpy -- "I don't know."
Sam -- "Would You Mind Going back and Counting? So I can Give You The Right Amount of money?"
GRUMPY -- "I'd Rather Not."
Sam -- "That's ok."
When the Waitress went away to get his iced tea. Sam stood up. Walked Back into the Kitchen.
And Started Walking over to Folks. Sam has a Face Mask on. All the Cooks are Sweating behind Masks. Sam Says it "Felt Really Weird."
But He Went over to each cook.
Said, "I want to Thank you for all your Hard Work. Here's a LOTTO ticket. I hope you win a bunch of money."
Sam Noticed a Tall Guy in a suit following him around the Kitchen. Sam turned and asked, "Who are You? Do You Want me to STOP Tipping Your Cooks?"
Sam is Slick.
Notice how he Phrased that?
Sam says the Man Waved his Hands and Backed up. Then Said, "No, No. I just wanted to make sure you don't fall on the Slippery Floor of the Kitchen."
Yeah.
Right.
So.
A SIDE NOTE.
Lesson Learned.
Whenever YOU Tip the Cooks in Person. BE AWARE that the Managers will NEVER STOP YOU.
NOBODY EVER Thank Rewards The Cooks.
The Manager would spark a RIOT if He Kicked Sam out of the Kitchen While he is Handing out THANK YOU REWARDS.
Sam Asks the Manager.
"Would it be ok if I got a Different Waitress? Mine is having a bad day.
So Sam Switched to a Different Waiter.
Bob the New Waiter -- is much more Positive. Especially When Sam Starts Tipping him all thru the meal.
Whenever a Cook brought Sam a Plate of food -- Sam Tipped him or her another LOTTO ticket. Sam Said each Cook had a Bounce in Their Step. And a Couple sort of did a Dance.
He couldn't See their Faces. But he HEARD a Lot of "Thank You Sirs."
You Might be Thinking, "I can't afford to do that!"
But Listen to Sam.
Sam said, "So I tipped 5 cooks in the Kitchen. And The New Waiter. Probably 10 Bucks total.
But Each Plate A Cook Brought out was Piled High.
Instead of One Piece of Fish -- I got Three.
Instead of a Little Pile of Fries on the same Plate. I got a Foot Wide Plate Piled High with Fries.
Others Got a 4 or 5 Little Pieces of Broccoli. I got a Massive Plate full.
My Bill plus Tip was 22 dollars.
But I got 3 Meals worth of food. 35.00 worth or more.
I could Barely finish the entre.
Had to ask for a Container for the rest.
Great Lotto Tip Story SAM,
