Good Pizza Is Worth Talking About

(I work as a hostess at a bustling Italian restaurant and bar. I have just dealt with some a**hole customers, when I see a lady waiting at the host stand. She has been waiting there for a few minutes, because I have been too busy running around to help her right away. I go to the host stand, certain that she is going to complain. She looks at me with a serious expression on her face.)

Lady: “I just had to tell you…”

(I brace myself.)

Lady: “…that that was the best pizza I have ever eaten. We had such a good time; thank you so much!”

(I was so relieved and touched that she would stand there and wait all that time just to tell me that. It really put a smile on my face.)
