Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal. I’ve worked in the service industry for five years and I take pride in providing great service to my customers.” The receipt caught the attention of Belmar, N.J. Mayor MattDoherty,who wrote a Facebook post of his own:
