    2 Wonderful Waiters!

    On Friday, I went to a local restaurant (Daks). I had only been there once before about 10 years ago. I was hungry after running errands, and I wanted to re-try it.

    I got a wonderful waiter! He was funny, but respectful. Made sure I had my iced tea refilled. Was patient, checked on me, etc., etc.

    I went during lunch time, on a Friday, when offices let multiple employees leave to go to lunch. XD I was an only person at my table. But he treated me with as much respect as the larger tables.

    My bill came to $15.70. I gave him a cash tip of $7.85.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Then yesterday, hubby, daughter & I went to a local chain Mexican restaurant.

    The waiter was nice (and he was training a new employee). We went at a slow time. He was attentive, made sure we were all watered (not literally made sure our water glasses kept filled). He was nice too. He did get a 30% tip (I knew he was going to have to share with his tip with his trainee). Hubby did think the guy talked too much and was annoying, but I liked him.

      That is SOOO awesome! Let this be a model for all the non-tippers on this site.

        Well RV, the waiter was wearing trousers. But that is cute! Never realized that Daks meant that in Australian. Oh boy. It does give a new meaning to the name of the restaurant then.

        There is an historical marker near the restaurant, so I think the building is an historical site, but not sure. I'll have to read it one day.
