Yup, knocked off two things today!
Tonight I had a fabulous Beet & Goat Cheese Salad with grilled chicken for dinner. It’s a tradition to go out for dinner with my Mom after we give blood. The tradition used to involve shopping but now we get lightheaded so we skip that part!
Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with grilled chicken. Yum.
Our server was young and bubbly. She was attentive, friendly and helpful. I decided she was a worthy recipient of one of my 40 things, to leave an unusually generous tip.
It feels good to do something nice, something unexpected. And in this situation, you know you’re not doing it for recognition because you just walk away and that’s that. (Of course if you blog about it, it’s not as anonymous as it could have been).
In the end it was only about 40%, but it felt good. I just might do it again this month, but on a breakfast meal where I could easily leave a 75-100% tip without spending much at all.
Countdown to 40! 
I’m sure you made your server’s day. I can tell you from Meg’s experiences as a server, it’s always a surprise when someone leaves a larger amount, (or worse) nothing at all. As a server you start to wonder what you did, or didn’t do, to warrant such an experience. Typically
Christmas time is when customers tip better, so it’s particularly nice that it’s the summer and very unexpected.
