Word to the herd.

I've been told by those who know these things that tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, is the busiest night of the year for bars, taverns, and nightclubs. If you're hitting the town tonight, please be mindful of this and be extra kind to your greeter, bartender, server, and bus help.

And as always - tomorrow, if you need to purchase anything - gas for the car, a coffee, some ingredient that was overlooked - please thank the person who serves you. We're able to enjoy our holiday because they are working on theirs. It doesn't have to be over the top; just say something like, "Thanks for working today. It's making my day easier."

Just my .02. Word to the herd.

Holidays are especially hard for people who work with the public because the people who dine often and know how to order and behave in public stay home and the people who only go out on holidays and Mother's Day and don't have a clue about manners, tips, how to order, etc. come out in droves.

It's tough working on holidays.
