You Made My Lunch
The other day I was out with the staff for lunch. We were celebrating Randy’s birthday. He wanted to go to Outback on 4th St. We noticed the thin crowd when we went in and asked the server if it was always like that for lunch. She said sometimes it wasn’t that busy. I was reminded of the story I shared in my last message about working the afternoon shift of a restaurant. No tips!
We had a great meal and throughout carried on a conversation with our server. We shared with her about our church and what we did and learned a little about her journey. As lunch was winding down we knew we had a great one2one opportunity. We decided to bless this young lady with an extra good tip. Not a huge amount of money but enough to make an impact. After she took the bill and just before we were leaving she came by the table with a huge smile and said “you guys are awesome, you made my lunch.”
Wow! The smile on her face and that response were priceless. It didn’t cost us but a few dollars. But, for her it made a real impact. Maybe she’ll join us at BP one day but more important she saw a group of people who really cared about her.
I hope you all go one2one sometime this week. I look forward to reading your stories right here.
