My husband, a simple man, has a favorite saying: “A bargain is really a bargain when you don’t buy it”. 36 he sets aside his simple ways when we dine out. Unlike his relatives (亲戚)who enter a restaurant armed with calculators(计算器) to make sure they 37 over tip, my husband 38 his own tip 5 percent each time the accepted standard (标准的)increases. He hasn’t explained why he tips so generously, but I think the habit 39 from his high school years, when he worked as a busboy(饭店打杂工) and got tips from people he served.
Over the years, our growing boys would suggest that Dad let them 40 dessert rather than tip so much. He stood firm 41 their strong demands. Our sons and I have come to 42 his habit. We recently 43 our son’s girlfriend to seafood. We chose a restaurant near Cocoa Beach. Our server, a grandmotherly woman 44 at the art of service, flew around the restaurant serving dishes and drinks 45 treating customers enthusiastically. She remembered their special 46 , likes and dislikes. She didn’t serve us 47 food. She served us the best food. She made sure the kitchen gave her fresh produce. At the end of the meal, our waitress 48 the bill, then went to 49 the growing crowd of other diners. My husband paid with a credit card and added her tip. When we left, “Mr. Goldsmith!” she called waving a receipt (*) at him, “Thank you.”
“What did you give her?” I asked, wondering if he had done something 50 or made a calculation error. “She gave us great service. I just thought she deserved a big 51 in tips.” It wasn’t until later when I overheard our son retelling the story of the grateful waitress that I realized she had given my family something 52 a thank you. She showed our son the 53 of recognizing hard work. Her show of gratitude (感激之情) helped a dad earn a bit more 54 from a loving son. And it reminded me just why I married this 55 , caring man.
