Faith restored

I have had plenty of interactions with the public at large, both positive and negative. It's easy to dismiss the negative, ignorance, cruelty, etc.; but the positive always stays with you. One kind word, a smile, a touch on the shoulder, just to let you know you're not alone. Some people are just angels in disguise sent to let us know that no matter how hard it gets, we aren't alone.

"But as the family's food was being delivered by one server, England noticed a different waitress with tears in her eyes.

This server, Tonya Griffin, then approached the table and told the astonished group: 'I'll try to do this without crying.' Griffin continued: 'But another customer has paid for your bill tonight and wanted me to give you this note.' On reading the touching message England burst into tears."

Thanks, WiscoDave, for my teary smiles this morning. I needed this.

    I noticed, as I scrolled through the comments, most of the ones with the down votes were not from the US. Foreigners, Fuck em and feed em fish heads as we used to say in the Corps.

    Good on them. Sadly tho, it appears in the British press. The fuckwits in the US couldn't be bothered.

    It's awfully nice that all the ungrateful idiots are forced to post with their real-world name and location, so we can put together a list of who needs to get punched in the nose.

    Repeatedly.

    I wish I could be that openly generous.

    That is a great story, thanks for sharing with us. The caretakers of children with special needs really should hear comments like this more often. For fellow diners, its a meal being disturbed. For the care takers, its their life and it can get frustrating. Its hardest of all on the individual with the special need and is rarely their fault.

Play nice. None of you are too old for a spanking.
