Speaking of service folks, my husband and I were talking last night about how people used to do nice things for service people. For instance, we had to call the roto-rooter guy last night. He was super nice and was telling us how it wasn't his turn to be on call, so the guy that swapped with him talked him into it by promising 50 bucks if he had any calls. The guy ended up swamped with calls and said he was missing dinner at his folks' house, but that he didn't mind. I had just happened to have canned 10 pints of salsa, so when I was paying him, I asked him if he wanted one, and he said, "sure!" We do stuff like that most of the time when we have service people come in. (When I know they're coming, I'll usually bake something.) Are we weird? Or do other people still do that?
My thought is that it can never hurt to keep your service people happy, especially ones that you use over and over. The roto-rooter guys come every 18 months for us, and it doesn't cost extra for them to come on a Sunday night. Worth every drop of salsa.
