treat people nicely!

 

first off, travis, i am very sorry if you hate this picture but it is adorably funny and will hopefully offset any cheesy-ness in this post. 

i have learned from travis that the way a guy treats waiters/waitresses or any other retail-type employee is very important. travis has been a waiter before and whenever he takes me out to eat he always...always makes sure to give our server a good tip unless they are disrespectful or something. 

at cafe capri, this yummy italian place in downtown bryan, we had this waiter a few months ago who was really funny, knowledgable and attentive. as we were leaving travis made sure to go up and shake his hand and thank him for being so great. cute, right?

we went to cafe capri again this past Saturday and due to the home game traffic, we waited for about an hour to get a table and whaddyaknow, we got the same waiter again! this time he was much more stressed but still very nice, trav and I split a dish due to the massively delicious portion sizes there but travis felt bad that the waiter wouldn't be getting as good of a tip. so when our check came he went ahead and tipped him for the amount it would've been for two dishes. 

as we were leaving, the waiter approached travis and said, "can I ask, are you a server?" travis said yes and the waiter said, "thank you so much buddy, you really understand, I appreciate it." that just gave me the warm fuzzies because travis treats everyone like that but doesn't often get to see the benefit. 

so any single gals reading this, make sure you pay attention to how a dude treats strangers, I think it is very telling of how a guy will treat you. 

and no, travis doesn't tip me but you know what i mean.
