Officers Were Shocked To See What Restaurant Employees Wrote On Their Receipt
By Dreamer
The incident unfolded at an Outback in Slidell, where four on-duty local officers went in to grab some dinner, reported Fox8. Their meal was served as it should be, and there wasn’t really anything that stood out about the night until they received their receipt and were hit with a huge surprise.
“They’re the sweetest guys,” said server Zoe Rao. “I enjoy waiting on them.”
Apparently, the officers are good customers at the location, which manager Arline Wood, an 18-year veteran of the company, took notice of. So, she and Rao devised a plan together, and when it came time for the officers to pay the $67 tab, they quickly realized it was on the house. Not only did the server and manager pick up their tab, they left them a heartfelt note on the ticket thanking them for their service.
“Be safe!” the note started at the very top of the receipt, before finishing their message to the officers at the bottom. “Thank y’all for y’all’s service! Enjoy y’all’s meal on us!”
In an effort to thank the two Outback employees, Slidell Police posted an image of the receipt to their Facebook page, and as you would imagine, it quickly went viral.
The two generous employees now hope that their kind act will inspire others to do something to thank those who put their lives on the line daily to protect us. Oh, and for those wondering how the four officers reacted to Wood and Rao buying them a meal – they reportedly left a hefty tip to show their own gratitude.
Kudos to these women for providing an excellent example of how to thank our law enforcement, who volunteer to go out and face evil every day so that we don’t have to. This is the kind of thing we need to be seeing, rather than hearing about officers being denied service or otherwise being disrespected by people in service industries, because it’s acts of appreciation like this that remind them of why they do what they do.
