I have a confession to make.

I love my boyfriend a lot.

But I’m a real live human being. A male human being. And sometimes I notice guys who are attractive.

Fun fact. As I’ve gotten older so have the guys I find attractive.

The reason I’m confessing this is that about a month ago I got busted checking a guy out at work.

I looked up from the IPad and a very handsome man was standing in front of me.

Whoops.

He was very sweet and asked if I was checking out his new shirt.

Yes. Yes. That’s exactly what I was doing.

In fact his shirt was very nice.

Anyway, since then he and his wife come in once a week. And he always teases me about different things.

Tonight he was in and teased that I’d called the police on him last time he was in.

He’s got a big smile, big personality. Very nice.

I usually tease back.

Tonight I teased that at some point they have to start calling for a reservation or I’ll not be able to seat them.

I got them a seated at the bar.

On their way out.

He shook my hand and thanked me for always being so gracious to he and his wife.

As he pulled his hand back I realized there was a bill in my hand.

I stuck it in my pocket.

I said goodbye. They left.

I didn’t even think about it again till I got home and emptied my pockets.

As I put my wallet, keys, and dental floss away I found a crisp 100 dollar bill in my pocket.

It was the first tip I’ve gotten since last summer. It was very generous. And very unnecessary.

I am very grateful for people like that at work. Who expect nothing. But appreciate what we do do.

It makes my job super awesome.

We have great guests.
