The other day, a friend of mine, his two daughters, Son in Law, and grandson meet at Applebees for lunch.

My friend and I arrived early, and he asked about being able to get dinnner rolls for his grandson. The grandchild is Autistic, and is very particular about what he'll eat. Bob Evans Dinner Rolls and chicken strips being his favorites. The waitress said, they didn't have dinner rolls, only Garlic Bread, but she'd see what she could do. A few minutes later, the others arrived, and a little while later we ordered.. Right after ordering, *Sabrina*, brought a couple Bob Evans Dinner Rolls to the table. She had one of the other employees run over to a nearby Bob Evans and got some Dinner Rolls.....

It was just beyond words to see someone go that far out of their way to cater to us. During the meal the manager John O'Neal stopped by to check on our meals, and if we were happy with the service. Needless to say they got an A-1...
Oh, and John's motto is don't ask if you can cater to one of our customers, just tell me what you **DID**.

In this day of Fast Food, it was incredibly refreshing to be catered to. Not to mention the food was marvelous.

It was the Troy, OH Applebees, so if your driving by, don't hesitate to drop in for a grand lunch.

I also wrote Applebees, and complimented her, and the manager by name.

Damn, you dont see that much any more, she would have gotten a 50% tip if i was at the table. I really enjoy people or under-promise and over deliver.

In round numbers that's what she got.
Happily, Married. I wonder if hubby appreciates what a great gal he's got, I sure hope so. She deserves some, Goes Around, Comes Around.

strange thing.... my wife and i went to a bob evans with friends and their 2 young kids. after being seated, one of the children took sick and started to vomit. the waitress saw this and ran over with clean up stuff and asked what she could do to help. my friend said that this has happened before and some crackers would help also if he could get his meal right away. i never seen a waitress move so fast, she had the crackers and his meal almost instantly... we hadn't even ordered yet. she kept coming over to our table asking if he was ok and if she could do anything else to help. in these times, i thought she was very considerate and helpfull way behond the norm. btw... she did receive a large tip.
