“I wish you
were coming with me,” Tom muttered as he tied a bow tie beneath his chin.
“As much as I love you Tom, I can’t tell you how glad I am that I don’t
have to come with you,” Sybil said with a small laugh as she lay in bed.
“I know,” Tom smiled. “It’s no more your cup of tea than it is mine.”
Tom was going to a charity formal dinner

If you go out this Labor Day, remember the men and women who have to work. Food service workers, hotel workers, retail workers, hair stylists, baristas, people who work in movie theaters, etc.
Give an extra big tip to those workers, who should have this day off.
Go above and beyond with your tipping. If you usually tip 20%, consider tipping 25% or higher. Honestly, it’s the least we can do!
If you’re lucky enough to have Labor Day off, and if you choose to go out on your day off to shop, see a movie, or enjoy a meal out, then remember those people who are working, who don’t have the day off, who more than likely aren’t being paid the amount they deserve, and give them something extra.
