I think chick Fil a gas the best service consistently. I don't have a worst per day, but having worked in the service industry with my family's business, bad service is very frustrating.

Picking a favorite Muppet is extremely difficult. I loved Miss Piggy growing up, but Kermit is such an icon. Also honorable mention to Gonzo for being the narrator in Muppet Christmas Carol, and to Grover for traveling the world and teaching us about other cultures.

Sadly, because of what I do for a living, I know a lot more about what employees do in restaurants, care homes, nurseries and shops than I would really like. Just this week I asked a client if they needed a knives policy (use of knives, I.e. not throwing them at each other) in their new employment contract! People often treat those who serve them in any capacity as lower than low, but they're just human beings earning a living. Being nice to people requires little effort but can make a real difference.

And I thought Hell's Kitchen was intense.

You should read “Unreasonable Hospitality” by Will Guedara! You won’t look at restaurants the same way 😉 he’s amazing! I will spoil it a bit for you but the best restaurant in the world is Eleven Madison Park…I haven’t been there I am not sure it’s what I like but you should read that book!

Remember it’s not the waiter/tease fault it’s the manager and the lack of proper training…and on the second example obviously she had no passion for her job so by maybe asking her what she does as a main job her eyes would light up and you would make a connection…I try to make small talk to with everyone in every store too…

I used to watch muppets too…and what they make fun teaching actually sticks in our minds…there is some wisdom to it…😉

Can’t wait to make “Zero Cokagne” I think I will like it…on my to do list [since I tried Coke Zero can’t go back to Diet] 😂

Also try beer with seven up it’s delicious…but a classic that I twist around is the Aperol Spritz…I add Perrier sometimes the Perrier with citrus or any sparkling drink with grapefruit…
