Zane Tankel, CEO of Apple-Metro and the owner of 40 NY area Applebee’s franchises, has said that he won’t hire any more employees and he’s also admitted to considering cutting current workers’ hours or firing them as well.”The model’s been set”, he told Fox Business News. “It’s about showing someone you care”.
WFAA reported Kasey Simmons, 32, said he just wants to make people smile, but the server at a Little Elm, Texas-area Applebee’s didn’t realize that smile could make as much of an impact on someone as it did recently.
When Kasey Simmons noticed a woman in the grocery store looking tearful this week, he didn’t think twice about offering to pay her $17 bill. “It lightens my world”. Simmons had no idea what was coming next.
The woman who had ordered the water left Simmons a $500 tip. “But my tip was about 50,000-percent”.
“On one of the most depressing days of the year. you made my mother’s day wonderful”, CNN quoted the woman’s daughter as saying on a note written on a napkin next to the tip. On a napkin, she wrote a short note explaining that the woman Simmons approached at the grocery store the day before was her mother, who had been lamenting the third anniversary of her husband’s death.
“You are one of a kind”, she added.
Apparently, the day before Simmons received the tip, he had helped a woman with her groceries at a Kroger supermarket.
