No Tipping Please!

When you are in High School (Beaumont High), you need an after school job.  Well,  I  was hired to work as a waitress at the downtown  McCory ‘s Dime Store.  So from Natural Bridge and Vandeventer, by bus to  the 6th st. and Washington (50+ years ago) location, as a waitress on the job, you change into your uniform and may  have a free meal before your shift starts. Their cornbread was the beat ever, so I always enjoyed a nice size piece.

Now that you tasted the food, you could certainly give the customers a good report  on and answer questions regarding the available choices. It seemed to me  that the most important part of the job was to be friendly and truthful, along with being  fast and able to  clean up , making more places to sit at the counter available!

One evening, my service, must have  been  extra good, because when I went to cleanup, there was a  Silver Dollar, left as a “Tip“!   I showed the  manager. and was told to ring   up   “$1.00”  and put in side drawer,   management will know?
