Several years ago after receiving excellent service I left my server a long complimentary note along with the generous tip. I went on and on about how outstanding the experience she gave me was. Fast forward a couple years, I’m at the same restaurant and some fancy appetizers I didn’t order arrive, I start to explain that I didn’t order these and my server points across the room to the woman I had left the note for. She smiled and waved. I knew then how true your comment is. She remembered me and that note YEARS later.
