Nice Villager experience today
 
I was at Bob Evans for lunch and the server was super nice and helpful. She was fully present and mindful when taking our order, which included a separate to-go order that she filled correctly and brought out on time as we were finishing our meal. I really appreciated her kind and competent demeanor and left her a $20 tip on the $31 bill.

She came up to me as I was waiting at the register to pay and offered me the money back, asking if I had made a mistake. I told her I hadn't, but what a sweet, honest person! I don't know if she was a Villager or not, but if so, she gives Villagers a good name.

I'll try to pay her attitude forward this week. :)

Just kidding. Very thoughtful and generous of you. I'm sure you made her day.

Great story. Was it the Bob Evans on 466? We go there a lot. The entire staff there are nice. Always great service and meal.

Chicken, OMG! That is hilarious and a little too coincidentally creepy! Luckily I had the (your) chicken salad sandwich. :)

Don, it was the one on 466 next to Walgreen's. I live close and go there fairly often but hadn't seen this server before.

I pretty much stick to the standard 20% tip, but last December we were at Golden Corral and it was the holidays and we eat brunch there frequently, so I left a $20. The next time we went, the server saw me and came to the table specifically to say how grateful she was. I'm sure waitressing can be a thankless job but honestly, I'd forgotten all about it. It reminded me that small gestures can still mean a lot.

I figured it was because all the staff there are great people and I believe they are the best examples of what Bob Evans expects of their employees. We have eaten in many locations and never had a bad experience. I'll admit I'm partially bias because I grew up where they started in Rio Grande Ohio.:wave:
