Waitress left 2 pennies and note by customer

[DemoTex]

73. Greatest server EVER is at Tommy's Ham House (Greenville, SC), and you'd better tip her!

She shall remain nameless, because she is now such a good friend of mine. She has a photographic memory. She knows your name from day one, and your breakfast preferences from about the second visit. But she watches her tips like a hawk.

Two stories:

1. The guys in the booth behind me pay at the register (cash only), leave 25-cents or so on the table, and head for the door. She spots the tip and yells to these bozos, "HEY! You forgot something! You left your quarter on the table!" It was a beautiful thing.

2. I'm a 20%+ tipper, usually better with her. One morning I paid Tommy at the register and went back to the table to put down a tip. I ran into some friends, and - talking and not thinking - walked out without tipping (bad move). A few days later I was back in Tommy's for breakfast and K____ walked up to my table and said, "What was wrong with my service on Monday, Mac? You didn't leave a tip." Holy shit, best waitress in town and I forgot to tip her! It has never happened again.

BTW: Tommy's Ham House is on the path to the White House, the Senate, and the US House of Representatives. It is THE place in upstate SC through which most politicos pass, at least once, during campaign season. Bu$h was there, as were Gingrich and Kerry. The parking lot is often full of NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX trucks. In fact, more repubs - it seems - show up at Tommy's. Tommy - however - is a Democrat (and a big Hillary supporter).
