He was the manager of the Olive Garden restaurant and had stopped at our table because our waiter had passed on Bob's complaint about his meal. At first the dark, handsome, young manager had offered Bob's meal at no charge. We thought it was most gracious of him.
One thing led to another and we spent a lengthy time in conversation until he was paged to another part of the restaurant. In a few minutes our waiter returned to our table and Bob asked for our check.
"There is none. You both get a free meal."
"But my meal was fine." I told him.
"That doesn't matter. The manager said he enjoyed his talk with you so much that he wants to offer you both a meal on the house."
What a treat! Of course we will return to the Olive Garden when we are back in Rapid City. Such generosity is not unappreciated, and we, too, enjoyed our pleasant exchange.
That was very nice and gracious of him.
