One thing you’ll find a lot of here in the Adirondacks are small-town-Main-Street-diners. Some are bars, some are eateries, many are both. For locals and tourists. Food’s mostly the same. Same with the atmosphere. Only variable is the staff. Lots of kids working summers; a few old timers who work year-round and set the standards – good or bad. Waitress we had tonight got it all right. A three-year veteran. She works two jobs, running 10 tables here tonight. On her way from and to other tables she stopped quickly to smile, welcome us, and smile a lot more through a very efficient and pleasant dining experience. Felt like we were the only one’s there. There are gems like her in other places here and its fun for me to see the kind of service-with-a-genuine-smile that would fit in Vegas. Great service employees are what people talk about after experiencing that – usually more about the experience than the food. These are small family businesses, and their style is usually evident – good or bad, on their employee’s faces. In the good ones, it’s a smile. It’s what makes good hospitality great. Oh yeah … I had a BLT. Treat your peeps so they’ll want to wear a smile today.
