When I first got this family’s table, I noticed the little girl I was serving was very talkative! She actually tried to order the whole meal for the family at the age of 3!

Finally, when the meal was over, she wanted to pay for the meal with a Barbie credit card. I was like, ‘Why not play along?’

The parents left before I had a chance to thank them. When I showed my co-workers, we basically all said, ‘Awwwwwwwww.’

I was always told to simply treat people the way you would want to be treated. So I try my best to give people the A-1 service they deserve.”
