Okay, now that was different

We decided to get pizza for dinner tonight, because although there's nothing really going on, none of us wanted to cook. So, we ordered the Salmon Primo from Pagliacci's (it's a seasonal pizza special, likely to only be available for another week or so) as well as a large chopped salad to split. I'd never had the Salmon Primo before, but it had been highly recommended by Mint Witch at Vulkon (yes, we were standing outside a hotel in Tampa, Florida talking about our favorite pizzas at a restaurant in the Seattle area).

Anyway, we were given the total, got a check ready for the delivery guy and hunted around for a few ones to give as a tip. When he showed up, he handed my husband the pizza and salad, said it was no charge, and handed over a card. Apparently, we really do order pizza from there a lot,
because this was all a thank you for being such good customers... the card was a thank you card, signed by the folks at the local Pagliacci's, with the manager's business card tucked inside and a magnet with the delivery phone number. We only get pizza there once a week... and, well, sometimes a little more often if they have a seasonal pizza we particularly like, but I guess it
adds up quickly!

Very cool, but very weird...

Oh, and the Salmon Primo actually *is* incredibly good, but I still prefer the Pear Primo (only two more months to go!!)

Suck up to your best customers, and give them a freebie or discount here or there.

Congrats! =)

Aside from people like yourself...

...this is one of the things I miss most about the Seattle area. Random happy stuff occurring.
