A "hometwon hero!"
BUSINESS & RELATIONSHIP STRATEGIST, applying Sun Tzu's "The Art of War": WIN without fighting! Words over weapons. New book: “Real Men Don’t Go Woke.”
INSPIRATION & HOPE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION Lisa Meilander “The elderly gentleman was seated in the booth directly across from my family as we ate dinner Saturday night at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon. We really didn't see him come in. But we did notice when our server, Dylan, dropped to one knee to look him eye-to-eye as he got ready to take his order. The man apologized for not hearing too well. He had forgotten to put in his hearing aids. He talked about how he lost his hearing during his time in the war. He was 91 years old with many stories to tell. Dylan patiently listened giving him his full attention. Eventually the man apologized for talking so much. ‘I'm alone now,’ he said, ‘and I don't often have someone to talk to.’ Dylan smiled and said he enjoyed listening. He then helped him figure out what to order and left to take it to the kitchen. It was a touching sight. I wanted offer to pay for the man's dinner, but before I could flag down Dylan, a man seated at a nearby booth asked Dylan to bring him his check. ‘Someone's already taken care of it,’ Dylan smiled. I guess we weren't the only ones eavesdropping on the conversation. After the man received his food Dylan came back to say he was on a break. He asked if he could sit with the gentleman as he ate. As we left the restaurant the two of them were conversing and many people seated nearby were smiling. It was a touching sight. With all the negative stories about our youth today this was a breath of fresh air. I wonder if I would have been as kind and attentive if I were the one working thete. If you are ever at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon, ask for Dylan. If he's your waiter you're certain to get great service.”
