A Small Gesture Causes A Big Smile For A Waitress

--by madeusmile, posted May 26, 2011

Last night my husband and I stopped by a restaurant for dinner after paying our respects to a dear friend at a nearby funeral home. My husband went into the restroom to wash his hands and I waited at the table to place our order.

When the waitress came to take the order, I thought I saw something drop to the floor as she pulled out her writing tablet. She immediately asked for our order, but I waited, first saying, "I think you may have dropped something." She and I both looked down under the table to find that she had dropped $20 from her apron pocket. She was so grateful for me letting her know, saying that she would have had to pay the money back, at her own expense, if she came up short at the end of the evening.

She was so relieved and had such a sweet smile. I was glad that it was at our table that it happened so she could be saved the expense.
