I just read an article on the internet about a couple who left a $100 tip on a $66 bill at a restaurant. These articles are written time to time outlining someone who is “paying it forward” to someone who may be in a tough spot in their life. The part of the article that really stuck out was that this tip was for very poor service.
Why would anyone leave that kind of tip for poor
service? The answer was that the couple
who happen to own a restaurant themselves (not the one they were in), have been
in that same situation before and had to deal with unhappy customers. They said that they realized that the
restaurant was short-staffed and the poor service wasn’t the fault of their
waitress.
All too often in today’s world, where business is 24/7,
people treat others with little or no respect.
You can still be demanding and respectful. Admitting that you made a mistake and that
you may need someone to help you out will go a lot further than trying to make
it their fault. People know how they feel
when they are treated this way and maybe should remind themselves of this when
treating others in the same way.
Granted, you probably won’t receive a $100 tip, but you just
may receive help that is worth a lot more.

sometimes cuts its own throat. – Jim ScancarelliTodd Trefz – Director of Operations
