My husband and I go to a local gastro-pub every Sunday, usually for a roast or a small bite, we take the dog it is lovely (our kids are grown up, DH likes eating roast, neither of us ever want to make one).
There is young waitress, we were the first people she served on her first day and she was nervous, stumbled over her words etc, but was very sweet. The next week she served us again and we joked about how much better she was doing. She has served us basically every week for the last 2 years, the dog loves her, she always brings him over a treat or some sausages etc, she is kind, knows exactly what we like, always tries to get us our favourite table etc.
She us going away to uni soon, other end of the country. She told us last week that this week will be her last shift until around Christmas. I'll be honest, I'm going to miss her, she has been a lovely feature in our Sunday for so long. I was chatting to my son, and mentioned her, she has a very unique name and they went to the same school (I forget how she came up but she did). He said he followed her on Instagram )only 2 years older than her). He showed me and we laughed that she must love Starbucks, as she seemed to be in Starbucks in half the pictures.
I was in town, in Starbucks yesterday and it made think of the girl. I bought a £30 voucher, then popped and got a good luck card. This morning I was in Morrison's, so I got her some Chocolates and sweeties.
Just came home to put it all in a gift bag, and m y husband is insistent that it is really really weird and I shouldn't have done that. He thinks the girl will feel weird about two almost strangers spending £40 on her.
AIBU this is a nice treat since she has treated us so well for 2 years or is it just weird?
