Today in Derry my RAK went to a regulars that visit the lounge often. Steve and his Mother were in for lunch. I had never been introduced to them by name, although I have seen them in here a lot. I explained the Random promotion, and they were very happy to have been chosen. I am sure that they will Pay it Forward.
Thanks for the table!!
Today in Derry, I had a party of 2 sitting in the 60’s, and asked them if I could split off 1/2 of their table in order to make a party of 6. They responded with an “Of course you can, no problem”, it was right then and there that I knew I had my RAK table for the week. I approached Louise and Skip at the end of their meal, and again thanked them, and informed them that I chose them as my table to RAK for the week. They were very appreciative, and I know that they will Pay it Forward.
Lost Wallet Found and RAK Issued!
I had an employee call me tonight upset that she had lost her wallet and asked if we could reissue her paycheck, as it was in her wallet. After I hung up the phone with her a woman called stating she had found a wallet belonging to one of our employees and would like to know how to get the wallet back to her. The girls met here at 6:00pm. I told the woman who returned the wallet how kind it was of her to go out of her way to bring it here. I wanted to reward her act of kindness with a random act of kindness!
Father/Daughter Date
I originally went to a table tonight because the little girl at the table had a recook kid steak tip dinner. As I was talking to the table and handling the issue, I realized the father really did not want to be a bother and refused to have me take her food off the bill or give him a gift certificate. So I bargained with him..I said Ok I won’t do either of those things, however I do like to pick one person/party a week to treat as a Random of Act of Kindness, so I’m choosing you and your daughter and picking up your entire check, all you have to do is Pay Forward this $25.oo dining certificate to an unsuspecting victim! He laughed and accepted. I went back to the table a little later to check on them and he thanked me again, saying that he and his daughter were just discussing who they were going to choose as their pay it forward.
Expecting!
This week’s RAK went to a couple expecting their first child. She originally ordered the Chicken Lettuce Wraps but it didn’t quiet agree with her. So she got plain pasta instead. I gave her a GC to come back when she had a better appetite. They were super excited, and happy to Pay It Forward.
Firefighter & Nurse
My Rak for last week went to a family that is well known in the community. Mr & Mrs. Foote and their children were dining in with us on Wednesday. Their server Suzy had come up to me and was raving about all the good things they have done in the community, and how great they were! He is a firefighter and she is a nurse. I gave them a gift card, as they had already cashed out, and told them to come back and have a date night on us! They were very thankful and happy to PIF.
Future Regular
I first went to this table, because one of the servers said the little girl looked like my daughter..I started talking to the table and the little girl wanted to see a picture of my daughter, when I showed it to her, she said “Wow that’s so cool..does that mean I won a free dinner?” I said yes as a matter of fact you do, you just have to do one thing for me. I gave her a $25.00 Pay it Forward certificate and told her that she had to pick someone outside her family to give it to..She chose her teacher…This was by far my favorite RAK to date, I have never given it to a child, e was so happy, like she won something big and was so appreciative.
Thanksgiving Dinner is Served
I wanted to share a special RAK I did today. A woman called today and asked if we delivered. She had just gotten out of the hospital and her husband was away and wouldn’t be home for Thanksgiving. She ordered a Turkey dinner for tomorrow and we delivered it to her doorstep and picked up the cost. She started crying and said it was the nicest thing anyone has ever done to her. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
