The Not-So-Typical Bachelorette Party

"A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward."
- William John Bennett

Last week, a story went viral about an Iowa couple who gave a server a $100 tip on a $66 bill.  The service was terrible - it took 20 minutes to get water, 40 minutes for their appetizer and over an hour for the entree.  The restaurant was under-staffed and the server remained calm and polite despite the circumstances and unhappy patrons.  

"I said to Steven, wow, this used to be us.  Waiting tables.  I don't miss it at all and I never loved that job.  I did it for the tips.  Steven and I agreed it would be good to make this guy's night when he would probably be getting minimal to no tips due to slow service," Schultz wrote.

I love it when something like this happens - it takes a life of its own and is all over the news and social media.  In a world full of bad news everyday, it is a breath of fresh air to see a random act of kindness like this make the headlines!

Devon and I were at an epic bachelorette party over the weekend in Vegas with a very down to earth group of girls.  We tried to break the stereotype of snotty bachelorette parties - we were kind to everybody and tipped well.  

The drink server at the pool was so appreciative of us - she said we made her whole day and thanked us for being so nice.  And she said we were just what she needed that day.

Glad we could make her day!  I am sure she comes across a lot of not so nice customers out in Vegas :)
