Free Fridays Food (And Awesome Alitteration, Apparently)

i went to the post office today on my lunch break to (finally) mail my christmas cards. it took no time at all, so i decided to go down the road to the t.g.i.fridays to get a turkey burger. i was greeted by an immensely pleasant staff who then, after i ordered my t-burger (no onions, and a side of ranch), got me a decaf coffee while i waited. (i know i normally don't do plain coffee, but it was cold and rainy out, and it seemed like a good idea.) generally, fridays tends to be quick about food turnaround, especially for takeout, but today i waited nearly 40 minutes for my order. honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal - it seemed that they were having major staff communication issues, but someone came to check on me and apologize every 5 or 10 minutes after my food should have been out. eventually it was ready, and i paid with my debit card. as i was about to leave, the manager on duty apologized again and handed me $16 worth of gift certificates for waiting so long due to staff issues. awesome customer service, especially since i didn't complain at all. (although, now that i think about it, i found that those people were the ones i wanted to do things for when i worked at disney...) so not only did i get free food, i actually gained money today. not bad, not bad...
