Buying Lunch for a Stranger

GNHR T-BONES Bedford 1 Comment

One of our regulars, Art, saw a woman sitting by herself for lunch. He decided to buy her lunch as he would want someone to do something nice like that if his mother had gone to lunch alone. I talked with him for a little while and expressed how appreciative and heartwarming it was that he did that for a complete stranger. I decided to have him be my Random Act of Kindness for the week and gave him a Gift Card. I also gave him a Pay It Forward so he could continue to make others smile. He was very grateful for everything our company has done, do, and will be doing for others.

18 years of pure bliss

Tonight I had a lovely couple come in and dine with us on their 18th year anniversary. They sat down and Shane asked if we had any champagne because they were celebrating this special day.  They were laughing and having a blast and I knew I had to make there night a little extra special. I picked up their tab for them and Heather started crying and thanking me, she just needed to give me a hug. This extra special gift to them truly made their night that much more of a special time. I wished them many more years of pure bliss because they looked like they were in the new relationship love giddiness. They are happy to pay it forward to someone and share there story.

Doggie visit

Today Kristen and I decided to RAK a table that was enjoying the sunshine on our terrace with their little doggie friend. We picked up their food from the tab(including the dog food!). They were kind enough to ask us to do the table behind them instead because they were having a great time chatting with them. We explained to them that with their food being payed for that they get to do their own RAK with our pay it forward gift card. They immediately handed it to them and both tables were very happy!

Welcome Back To Our Restaurant Family

I had a lovely couple come this evening and i remembered them from the week prior and they said they had such a great time here they had to come back. The used to be Salem regulars and then they moved away and now moved back to Goffstown. I figured they would be perfect to buy their dinners and welcome them back to our family. They were so thrilled and happy to see some familiar faces again

First Timer

We had a first timer come in, in a stroller. Mom and dad brought Sophie in for her first visit to one of our restaurants. She was very cute and only 2 weeks old. Her parents come in often and were pleased to say that it was their first time bringing her to a restaurant and wanted to make sure it was a T-Bones. As my random act of kindness, I gave them a Gift Card for themselves and a Pay It Forward to give someone else. They were very appreciative and can’t wait to come back.

Enlisted Early and Still Going

Had a gentleman come in with his Navy hat/cover on with an abundance of pins. I thanked him for his service and complimented him on his amazing hat/cover. He explained that he served in WWII in the US Navy on an aircraft carrier. I sat and visited with he and his wife a little while. He was very proud to have been able to serve. He told me that he actually enlisted when he was only 16 with his mother’s permission. He further explained that his mother would also receive $50.00 a month for his service which is a huge reason he enlisted. I talked with him about what it was like being at sea and the planes that were coming and going. He told me he had recently turned 92 and the two greatest things in his time on this earth were serving his country and meeting his wife. He was super excited to share his knowledge and full of compliments about our restaurants. As my Random Act of Kindness, we bought their lunches and he was super thankful. I then handed him a Pay It Forward Gift Card, which he was even more surprised about. He was excited to be able to go give someone else a gift. What a pleasant couple.

Pre-K Gradution

Tonight I had a family of 3 in for dinner and as I was browsing in the dinning room I saw them wearing some funny looking headbands. When they were done dinner I asked them what they were about.  This cute little girl Skylar told me she just graduated Pre-K yesterday and it was her choice of places to pick for dinner. She told me that this is her favorite restaurant and she was a proud young lady. I bought there dinners and told them if they can Pay It Forward to someone we would greatly appreciate it! Skylark told me she can give it to one of the homeless shelters that her and her mother go to to bring some items to the “more needy”. This little girl is so giving and kind I wished her well on her next adventure onto 1st grade!

We’ll All Be There Someday!

Had a mother and father, a bit older, with their daughter in for lunch today. They met here on their return trip from Cape Cod for lunch. They were super nice and very fun to talk to about the Cape and New Hampshire and life in general. JJ was their server and she told me that the father kept apologizing to the two ladies, wife and daughter, for having to help him with every part of his meal. He was frustrated with how age had taken a hold of him and he knew the ladies didn’t mind helping him but was still upset he couldn’t do everything himself. The two ladies just reassured him it was nothing big and they were here for him. It was amazing to see and brought a tear to JJ’s eye. I gave them a gift card for a future visit, the next time they meet here, and a Pay It Forward. They were very thankful and couldn’t stop smiling.

Tricia informed me that she noticed that every holiday weekend the same gentleman comes in an buys 2 T-bones for his neighbors who happen to be vets!  How could I not RAK him for PIF!  We need more neighbors like him!

Missing lunch date!

A very nice lady came in for lunch today expecting to meet up with a friend. She was sat and had ordered both their meals while waiting for the other person to join. As her server, Lucy, was talking to her she got an unexpected call from her friend saying she was unable to make it. She proceeded to tell Lucy that this isn’t the first time this has happened to her and she would just take the other meal to go. Lucy didn’t have the heart to make her pay for both and let me in on the situation, explaining how sweet this lady was. I decided to RAK her and pick up both lunches. As I was sitting at the table chatting with her and explain how to pay it forward she said “I guess this is a great birthday after all!”. I was so excited to be able to turn around her day and sent her home with a slice of Chocolate Dream Cake as well!
