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.

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)

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!
