Goodness Happens
 

I'm moved when good things happen and think they should be shared. Last Friday hubby & I went to Beef O'Brady's in Colony for a favorite hot wings & beer dinner. The line was out to the street. Suddenly 2 seats opened at the bar, no one in line wanted them, so off we went. Sat next to a nice chatty gent, ordered a pitcher & wings, I think twice he asked if our order was coming, waitron said it was, eventually the pitcher emptied, we ordered 2 more glasses as the wings with celery & dressing arrived. We continued to enjoy the evening, ate the wings drank the beer (much more than we needed) asked for the tab & was told, "no, you're good." Laugh, laugh, chat, chat, asked a 2nd time & was told, "no, really, it's on the house, you really waited a long time for your meal." This past w/e we went to The Rialto, watched The Butler & like all comfy dark spaces after a bucket of popcorn, I fell asleep. I woke up to audience mummering, confusion, no voice from the movie & eventually a manager saying they were going to do an intermission & try to get the movie going again. I got up, stretched, went to the restroom, got something to drink, a refill on the popcorn, returned as he was rewinding back to where I fell asleep. As the movie ended, there was an announcement that we were all receiving a free movie pass for the inconvenience. No one that I noticed ever complained about what happened! For me it really wasn't necessary as I didn't miss a thing. Dinner & a movie! Good things happen!

Good, now pay it forward.

It's nice to hear of good things happening. You have "paid it forward" to me just by sharing! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your positive experiences. Great way to start the day!

That was awesome!
I have a funny pay it forward story. There is a local hamburger chain called "Milo's" (if you ever see one, try it!). The week of Christmas, it's become a local thing that people in the drive thru pay for the person behind them. One day it went on for 54 cars.
So I pull up to the window, and the cashier says "the car in front of you paid for yours". So I say "then let me pay for the car behind me". Turns out it was a mini-van full of folks and the order was over $30! I had to put away my $20 bill and pull out the debit card. I laughed as I told the cashier "I should have let that van go in front of me!"

Good service and alert management is worth significantly more than most advertising dollars.
