I’ll Give You A Tip

Customer: I’ll take three of those rib steaks.  

Me: Yes, ma’am. Coming right up!  

Customer: Can you season them?  

Me: All I’ve got is Montreal seasoning. That okay?  

Customer: Yes please!  

(I season then and pack them up )  

Me: Here you go!  

Customer: (Forcing a $10 bill into my hand) Thanks. Merry Christmas!  

Me: Oh, you don’t have to do that. All I did was put some seasoning on it.  

Customer: It’s Christmas Eve. If I can’t tip you now, when can I. You can either take it, or I’m dropping it on the floor and some random person is getting it.  

Me: (accepting the tip) Thank you. Merry Christmas.  

Customer: That’s more like it. Merry Christmas!
