Table sent me flowers.
An 8-top came in on Thursday. They waited for a table for about an hour—not my section, but I took care of them while they waited. They asked me where I was from since I have an accent, I told them I’m from Venezuela. They mentioned they were visiting from Texas, and we exchanged a few words about the current crisis in my country. Then, they asked me to take a picture of them, which I did, and shortly after, they got seated.
That was pretty much it. I left early because they cut me.
But yesterday, Friday night, a girl walked in looking for me with a bouquet of flowers. She made sure I was the Venezuelan girl her friends had talked to the previous day, and then she handed me the bouquet. She said they just wanted to give me a gift because they were so grateful for the way I treated them (which honestly didn’t seem like anything special to me—idk).
There was a note on the bouquet saying how thankful they were for everything. No name or phone number, just the note.
Mind you, I’m the only Venezuelan (or even Latina in general) at my workplace lol.
It just melted my heart. What a wholesome interaction—these people truly made my day.
