Popcorn Crave

GNHR T-BONES Bedford 1 Comment

Tonight I had a nice lady come in. She said to me “this is probably a weird request but can I get a large bag of popcorn to go?” I told her that is not weird request at all and I would be happy to. She told me that her best friend’s husband is in the hospital with pancreatic cancer and they always came in just the four of them and absolutely loved our popcorn. I proceeded to get the popcorn and gave her an extra bag. I brought it out to her letting her know it was on the house and to please tell her best friend’s husband that T-BONES hopes for a fast recovery so we can see him in here again healthy and happy eating our popcorn. She was so excited she almost started crying and she said this is why they always come to T-BONES. I gave her the Pay It Forward gift card and she said she knows the perfect person to give it to.

I Am Going To Be Old Someday

I was working on the bar Saturday and these two young gentleman came in from work to have some lunch. At the end of the bar stood an elderly gentleman who seem lost. I approached him asking him if I could help him.  He was looking for a foot doctor office around this area. I went to get my phone so I could google it for him to help him. By the time I got back to the bar one of the young men had already looked it up for us. I said “thank you” and he came back with “I am going to be old someday”  The elderly gentlemen went over and the young man showed him how to get where he needed to be. I decided to do a random act of kindness for these young men. It touch my heart because I don’t think most kids theses days think like this young man does. He seemed excited about having to go out and find someone to share the act with. “Pay it forward” where his last words as he walk out the door.

Loving Foster Mom

We have a nice couple that comes in and our hostess Gloria knows them well,  from many years of coming in. This visit she noticed that they had a young kid with them and he was a little scared to come in. Gloria approached them and asked who the young gentleman was and she found out that this couple used to foster this child before he went to another loving home. The kid loved his foster mom so much so, they still get together and visited with one another. What a wonderful story and come to find out she is getting another 2 young kids to foster. If anyone deserves a random act of kindness is was this regular! I bought theie meals for them and they are more than happy to pay it forward to someone else who can enjoy this

Family Support

A family of six came in tonight,  a mother and her five “children”, after hearing some bad news about mom’s health. They were quick to note my height and we all joked and teased about how tall I am and how short they are. When I told them I’m 6’10”, mom was quick to stand up, and at 4’8″ looked tiny next to me. I picked her up and hugged her and they all got pictures. I talked to them about how much fun they were to talk to, and how amazing it is to see such wonderful support for their mom. I gave them a Gift Certificate to come back and visit us again soon, and a pay it forward to give to someone else. When leaving, every single one of them gave me a hug, mom kissed me on the cheek, and they all said I had made their day so much better than I could ever understand. They left with sore cheeks from smiling non stop.

Late Night Visit

A young man came in tonight to grab some take out after a long day at work!  When we ran his card it declined. I couldn’t let him leave hungry, so who better to RAK. He was so moved and can’t wait to PIF to someone!  Love making people smile!!!

Faithful Regulars

We all have our regulars, however, I have a family who comes into Bedford T-Bones nearly every Saturday night for dinner. They are a family of four who always seem to be in the best mood and happy to just be living life. I shake the father’s hand every time I see him and catch up on changes in life since we last saw each other. I go out of my way to say hello to this family just because I know they are always so positive which is an amazing way to live. I bought their appetizer and encouraged them to pass along the Pay it Forward to someone they might not know, to spread their positive outlook that much further into the world. They were very thankful and couldn’t stop smiling as I told them to have a wonderful evening and I’d see them soon.

They Care For Us, Lets Care For Them!

I had a nurse in today at one of my co-worker tables, I overheard her saying the ER is not anywhere close to the nursing home. I stopped by for a chat to try and learn more about what she does as a nurse. Long story short she gave me a detailed story from beginning to end on her nursing career. After I got up I decided this is my RAK. Why not RAK someone, and pay it forward to someone who pays it forward everyday, whether it be taking care of people in a nursing home or saving lives in the ER, this lady is literally taking care of someone’s mother, father, wife, husband, brother, sister or even someones grandparents on the daily!

First Timer

One of our servers came over and told me we had a first timer here at T-BONES! I went over to his table and sat with him as I handed him a RAK. He said he would be coming back and was excited to go out and find someone to Pay It Forward to!

Three’s Company

We had a fun group sitting with us at the bar.  They kept the staff and guests entertained.  They just seemed like they would really enjoy a PIF certificate and I was right… they are on a mission for the best PIF they can find!
