We tried to go to bed. It was late, and we were beyond exhausted, but as we lay stiff and unflinching in our dark bedroom, we knew that neither of us would soon be getting any sleep.

Delta variant spurs huge increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations

I remember reading about a customer who went to a restaurant and was so impressed with the service that he left a large tip. Although I do not remember the exact amount, I believe it exceeded $1,000. Since that time, I’ve heard several stories about the big tippers who received exceptional service. Some reports indicate that servers have received as much as $5,000. Unfortunately, while tips are up in some cases, fast food service continues to decline.
