Are you a Victim

About once a month we get free buffets at the Horseshoe Casino

Great Dinner.         .          .

but the

was way beyond ordinary;

V   i   c   t   o   r

He seated us

and poured out ice teas

and then gave us some complimentary bottled waters.       .       .

He got real excited when he announced

that he had something very special for us,

and he even more excited

when he brought some special made appetizers.        .         .

did I mention that this was a    b  u  f  f  e  t

and not some Four-Star restaurant?

He brought us back fancy desserts

that weren’t up on the dessert tray.        .        .

He couldn’t be more accommodating and kind;

He got a little embarrassed

when I asked him about himself

and how long he had been working here at the casino.        .        .

He said he loved

w           a           i           t           i           n           g  

on   people

and that we had been great people to serve.       .       .

I was watching the other servers,

but no one was running around like Victor.        .        .

No one was giving

who they were serving

anything      e   x   t   r   a.        .        .

I even saw a few roll their eyes

when someone had left them a less than satisfactory tip.        .        .

Victor      was      a      most      excellent

S      E      R      V      E      R

A    True    Caring    Catalyst

I gave him a huge tip that night.        .        .

He was very grateful and very surprised;

I told him that he was most excellent and he

m        a        d        e

our night extra ordinary.        .        .

I have him a big tip

but he had given me a

t          i          p

much    larger

and even more significant:

S E R V E      P E O P L E     

MORE   THAN   THE   EXPECT   OR   DESERVE

WITHOUT   ANY   EXPECTATION   OF   ANYTHING   IN   RETURN

He made me ask a question

a     r e a l     q u e s t i o n:

Am I more of a

V   i   c   t   i   m

  or    a

 V        I        C        T        O        R ?

Victor showed me that no matter what Color

No matter what your Race,

No matter what your Creed,

No matter what your Gender,

No matter what your political Persuasion,

You can still serve others by serving in the best way possible;

Victor showed me that it’s not about

doing for others as you would have them do unto you

so    much    as    serving    others    as    they    would       like

in a most perfect way.           .           .

Victor      s   h   o   w   e   d

that it’s not about giving people what they deserve,

it’s    about    just    giving    to    others
