Four Louisiana police officers were on their regular shifts when hunger struck. Looking for a place to grab dinner, they walked into Outback Steakhouse, unaware of the heartwarming surprise that awaited them.
From the moment the officers entered the restaurant, the manager and server noticed their uniforms and wanted to show their appreciation. Meet Arline Wood, the manager, who always has nothing but positive things to say about the police officers who visit her establishment. “They’re the cutest boys,” says Zoe, the server, who loves having them around. She praises their professionalism and respect towards the staff, and Arline values their continued patronage.
That evening, two employees decided to go the extra mile for the officers who had just finished their shifts. To show their gratitude for the officers’ hard work, Zoe took it upon herself to pick up the checks for the four officers. As a small token of appreciation, she left a heartfelt message on their receipts. The total bill came to around $67.
This act of kindness touched the officers deeply, prompting them to show their gratitude by leaving Zoe a generous tip. The Slidell Police Department shared a photo of the receipt on their Facebook page, and it quickly garnered more encouraging comments. The police department expressed their gratitude, saying, “Words cannot express the feelings this gives all of us. We appreciate your kindness and showing your appreciation for law enforcement, Miss Alene and Zoe.”
This heartwarming story serves as a reminder that small gestures can have a big impact. It shows the strong bond and appreciation that exists between the police officers and their community. Let’s continue to celebrate the dedication and hard work of our law enforcement personnel, who risk their lives every day to protect us.
