Carrie Wheeler (and the other female FOH staff, Sundance Square, Sun Mon 10/27) — this crew, but Carrie Wheeler specifically, made my Monday at 8p at night. So much to the point of tears. I've been having some incredibly bad luck lately and cannot get on my feet, but stumbled upon the ability to be able to purchase a true hot meal (not the occasional fast food I eat if I can afford, or meals I can scrounge together from items when I can afford them from the grocery store) for the first time in months... and though this week, month, year have been horrible for me — tonight marks the last night of my busiest, most defeating, and dehumanizing year to date... and tonight was hard for me... but Carrie's warmth and humor and smile and little Halloween hat... again, I'm crying with tears of gratitude at her kindness from her as a waitress, yes, but as a human she was the right type of person and female I needed to serve my table after the hell I've been through. I'm a single mom of two and times have been EXTREMELY tough; hot meals are a privilege and luxury... tonight was an end of year treat meal to myself, and I just want to share with such genuine joy and happiness as a customer and fellow female, what an incredible waitress Carrie is, but the whole damn staff had the best energy and it was needed so sorely.
