So yesterday on my lunch break, I was sitting at my table, eating my food. Not much as going on and I was by myself, so I was just looking around, even if there wasn't much to see, mostly just the tellers talking to each other and a janitor walking around with a pan. It wasn't really interesting, until I noticed the pan had a bunch of dried gum in it.
He was responsible for peeling the gum off the undersides of the tables.
Even if you've never done this before, know that gum can be a bitch to get off of ANYTHING, especially if it has time to get stuck there. On top of doing this thankless job, he was far away from his co-workers and couldn't reasonably talk to him, and they didn't even acknowledge him when he cleaned up the tables near the counter. I felt bad for him.
So I thought up a way to make him feel better.
What I did was, I pulled a pen out of my pocket and wrote a little message on my napkin, then folded it and wrote something else on the outside. The message read:
"To the poor underappreciated soul who has to clean gum from under the tables..."
*open card*
"...I appreciate you."
I stuck it to the gum a few tables away from me and slowly finished my food. When he came by to clean the table, he read the message, smiled, and put the napkin in his pocket.
you sounded like a good guy and an asshole
It would be friendlier if you helped him remove the gum.

To be honest, I'm sure his manager wouldn't appreciate it if he saw a patron helping the janitor. :v:
What an amazing message, you should have left some money in there too.
that was a really kind thing to do man. much respect, you probably made his day.
congratulations, you are now more empathetic and nicer than 95% of the people that go through that restaurant without thinking otherwise :love:
:3:
Most people got no fucking respect.
We need more people like OP.
That's nice and all, but don't you think sticking it to some gum under the table is kinda ironic?
Who the fuck brings gum to restaurants any way?
He probably expected money In the card, he hates you.
That was pretty nice of you.
You'd be suprised how much better it is to work a shit job when somebody actually says thank you.

I'm pretty sure he stuck it to some gum that was already there.

Yeah really, who the fuck wants that taste of mint or fruit in their mouth before they chow down on a meal.

It's like brushing your teeth then proceeding to drink orange juice.
I hate it when people stick gum to underside of tables.
It's disgusting when I'm moving my hand under the table and it touches a sticky minty saliva mixture.
And then I have to wash my hands because someone was too lazy to throw their gum away.

You're not supposed to swallow gum. It stays inside you for a years or something.
Someone could take what you wrote either as a kind gesture or a sarcastic joke because it really does sound like it could be either.

I don't.

Yeah, it takes years for it to decompose. Most parents say it wraps round your heart or some shit to get you to put it in the bin.

The dirtbags of society. How hard is it to grab a napkin off the table you're sitting at, put the gum in there, and then just roll it up? You don't even have to get up to throw it out.

They had to have been chewing it before they got there, and didn't want it in their mouth when it was time to eat.
