Delivery story 16

I work part time for Domino's in Lanett, Alabama.

One day when it was getting pretty late and after getting stiffed a number times I was more than ready to call it a day and go home. What was going to be my last delivery was to a trailer park. Now for ya'll that don't know, trailer parks all have two things in common. They hardly ever tip and they never have house numbers -- so not only do you spend forever trying to figure out which trailer gets the food, you know it's for naught also. Anyway, I'm getting off subject. I found the trailer in short order and was very pleased with that small accomplishment. I knocked on the door and a lady and small child (3 or less years old) came to the door. The lady paid for her order (no tip) while the child watched the transaction very quietly. Just as I started to leave the child gave the international pick me up signal, sticking both arms straight up into the air and gently wiggling his small fingers. I reached down and picked up the child and in an instant the little boy hugged me tight around the neck and said, "I Love You Pizza Man." Now maybe it was hunger talking but that story will live forever in my memory making it the best tip ever received.
