My Instead: I gave two $5
tips to two different employees at the McDonald's drive-thru windows.
Another long day of
cleaning the “killer house” and then another “easier” house out in Freeburg,
Illinois…long day. But it wasn’t over yet! With work still to be done in the
evening, I had no time to stop back home and pretend to be Rachel Ray in the
kitchen. So later, on my way back into Belleville to tackle a basement floor
paint job, I stopped at McDonald’s…yes, fast food.
I moseyed along in the
drive-thru lane, placed my order, and proceeded to the first window to pay. I
headed for the second window to pick up my McChicken and fries. And there it appeared
in my mind’s eye! My tip of the day! Why had I NEVER “seen” this before? I
backed up my car to the first window again and said to the gal “You deserve a
tip, don’t ya?” and handed her a 5-dollar bill. She was shocked and surprised…and
so thankful. I was beaming at her amazement. On to the second window…I handed this
gal a 5-dollar bill as well and exclaimed “You deserve a tip too, right?” She
said that I didn't have to do that…oh, yes, I did! Her smile lingered as I
pulled away. And so did mine.
I was ten dollars poorer...but so much richer.
