An Open Letter to Restaurant Regulars

Dear Regulars,

It is hard to describe how much employees of the restaurant industry truly value your business and, even more so, the personal value of your presence during our shifts.  So I thought I’d write you this letter.

This past weekend of work, I reflected on how I’m able to make a steady income and can continue living the lifestyle I do, paying off important bills, and saving for new adventures in my life when I work at a job with an un-promised income.  God provides for me and for all the other servers who work at restaurants around the world, and you are such a huge, important part of that.  At first, you’re the kind face who tipped us well once or twice.  But then you become the best part of our day.

Being a server at any restaurant, anywhere in the world, is an extraordinary struggle at times.  A struggle with co-workers, with customers, with management, the unsteady income, long hours and innumerable other variables that add to the equation.  But when you come in and sit with us, chat with us, text us after work, support us on Facebook or bring us food to work just because you care – that turns the tables.

So thank you – thank you for turning our bad days around, talking to us about our days when you certainly don’t have to, and caring about the work that we do.  I certainly know that on the behalf of all servers worldwide that love their regulars, we appreciate YOU, your friendship, your support, and your business.  You show us the true meaning of community.

Love always and God Bless You,

Kelsey 🙂

P.S. I’m writing the chapter of Shades of Violet this week, and everything is about to take a drastic turn.  Don’t miss it!
