===== Hi, Today I forgot my LOTTO tickets. Told the waitress, "Let me give you this nifty LED Lite you can put on your key chain. I use it to see to put my key in the lock." BUT IT WAS DEAD! So I Took my own personal LED Lite off my key chain (In front of her eyes) and gave it to her. Startling RESULT? My Waitress Reduced my bill by 6 Bucks from what I know I had spent. I was Puzzled UNTIL I Remembered the Coke A/B Split Test I read about in a book. -------- -------- Goes like this... A Scientist hangs out in a lunch room. FIRST he comes right out and asks Total Strangers, "Would you Like to donate some munny to the ABC Charity? 90% said, "No." NEXT - The Scientist says, "Would you like something to drink?" Then Takes Money out of his own pocket. Puts it into the coke machine. Hands them the can of coke. THEN asks, "Would you like to donate some munny to the ABC Charity? 50% said, "Yes." -------- -------- I'm not sure this is what happened. But it SOUNDS Possible, right? Thanks, Glenn HERE IS The Link to the Cheap LED Lites I Give Away when I Flirt Tip. I've only had 2 of them go bad out of dozens and dozens. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

===== In New York City for a medical Convention I dropped my bags with the Concierge. Gave him 20.00 tip and went to dinner. When I came back I gave a big wedge of chocolate fudge to the desk clerk and concierge. Then come to find out my room had been given to someone else! No more rooms. Sold out. The Clerk and Concierge huddled with the manager and I got the Penthouse Suite for the night! No Charge. 4700.00 a night. Amber |

======== Josh Gets a F-r-e-e Beer Hey Glenn! It was a pretty busy week for me, and I've continued to experiment with the $1 tipping... I recently used it with a male waiter, and it still worked amazingly well!! We got the best service ever... He even sent another Waitress over with napkins and ketchup just to see if I'd tip, and of course... I did! The waiter kept coming back to our table and chatting it up with us... He brought me a free beer on the house just to sample (it was a microbrewery, so they had variousflavors and types of beer... so, I saved $4 there, which covered almost a third of the tipping I did).

==== FERRY BOAT - LOTTO Ticket Testimonial - Bought a lottery ticket ( scratch off kind) and gave it to my ferry boat attendant on my way to work. I happen to commute across Lake Champlain from Plattsburgh, NY to Burlington, VT, and it’s quite a haul. So I hand the ticket to the guy not expecting much. He directs me to the lane on the boat with no cars. Nothing special there, but when we finally dock on the other side of the lake, he points to me to take off. So I’m first off the boat, no slo-pokes. Whee! Not bad for a buck. Mack |

======== Aloha Glenn, Just sent you the moolah! Here's the testimonial: I'm visiting Hawai'i for a few months. The problem here is that there are NO lotto tickets sold here, plus the fact that most servers in restaurants are pretty well "jaded" (too many tourists ;-) . So, what I did was buy a few $2 bills (as Glenn suggests in earlier emails). So, I went to one of the "high-end" restaurants without a reservation (not a good thing to do on a Friday night, with an entourage). I talked with the Hostess for a while (since I had a 2 hr. wait to be seated). I said I had a gift for her, & handed her 5 x $2 bills, and a $20 lei (flower strand) they were selling in the gift shop. She lit up like a New Year's celebration, and we ended up getting the best seat in the house! For a few bucks, we got to sit at the VIP seat, in our own private corner, overlooking the Ocean, & treated like royalty! My friends were ecstatic, as you can guess. Mahalo nui loa, Glenn! (I looked it up - means - Thank you very much) The Chief |

===== Hi Glenn, I did it today at the grocery store and it couldn't have played out more perfectly.... Imagine the scene... Speedy checkout line (10 items or less) I am number 3 in line behind a woman (apparently buying dinner), a young guy (mid 20's) with Angel Food cake, whipped cream and Peanut M&Ms (apparently buying dessert). As I approach the line, the checkout clerk (young man, early 20's) is cleaning the conveyer belt as the woman, who is first in line, glares at him with a look of disdain. He quickly, and with a smile, scans her items and thanks her for her patronage, then turns to the young guy next in line and repeats the process. I step up, smile, and hand him a $1 dollar scratch off lottery ticket (max prize potential $17,000). As I hand him the ticket, I say, "this is for serving us with a smile today." "For me", he asks. "Yes", I say. His eyes grow big, his smile engulfs his face, and he says "cool, that's cool" It must of really caught him off guard because he actually stood there, frozen, for a moment. It was like he forgot what to do. He just stood there grinning at me, for what seemed like a minute. All of a sudden reality hit him and he scanned my items. As I swiped my card to pay the total, he said "thank you, that's the coolest thing anyone has ever done." And with that, I grabbed by bags and said, "I hope you win" as I made my way to the door. As i walked out the door, I turned to look back and he was showing the ticket to 3-4 other clerks and still smiling (I would guess). Paying it forward rocks. And of course you have my permission to use this testimony in any way you choose. Thanks alot Glenn! |
