I went over to Applebee's for dinner. I didn't stay long as I wasn't feeling up to it, but I was glad I went. Shortly after I sat down at the bar I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and turned to see what it was. It was Jenna, formerly my favorite bartender then shift manager before she was transferred to another location. She had seen me sit down and was running over to give me a hug. I haven't seen her in ages. She was there working as a visiting manager for the night.
The server for whom I had made the turquoise and gold hat gave me a big hug and bought me a beer shortly after that. A little while later another of the servers gave me a hug and told me she was glad I was looking better after my bout with the flu.
During the course of my short visit I chatted with, shook hands with, and got hugs from several people, both current and former employees there. I have to say that I rather enjoyed it although I don't think I'll ever figure out why a lot of people take so kindly to me. I'm just a regular Joe and don't do anything special.
Ah well, whatever the reason for them I have to admit that I enjoyed the hugs from the pretty ladies. Who wouldn't?
