Restaurant manager’s Christmas kindness

A small Christmas kindness made many people happy. I went to the refrigerator late on Christmas Eve and found I had no eggs to make pumpkin pies for my children and grandchildren for Christmas. By now the stores were all closed and would not be open Christmas morning.

While driving around, my husband and I passed Dino’s Restaurant on Lake Street in Bloomingdale and it was open. Luckily the manager was there — you know, the tall, good-looking one. I told him I had the most unusual request he had gotten all day. I asked if I could buy a half-dozen eggs. I told him my story and he just laughed and said, “Of course.” He brought the eggs wrapped in napkins, I asked him how much I owed him and he said, “No charge. Merry Christmas.”

Thanks to his kindness, my family had pumpkin pies for dessert on Christmas Day. My entire family thanks him.
