"The elderly gentleman was seated in the booth directly across from my family as we ate dinner Saturday night at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon. We really didn't see him come in. But we did notice when our server, Dylan, dropped to one knee to look him eye-to-eye as he got ready to take his order.
The man apologized for not hearing too well. He had forgotten to put in his hearing aids. He talked about how he lost his hearing during his time in the war. He was 91 years old with many stories to tell. Dylan patiently listened giving him his full attention.
Eventually the man apologized for talking so much. 'I'm alone now,' he said, 'and I don't often have someone to talk to.' Dylan smiled and said he enjoyed listening. He then helped him figure out what to order and left to take it to the kitchen. It was a touching sight.
I wanted offer to pay for the man's dinner, but before I could flag down Dylan, a man seated at a nearby booth asked Dylan to bring him his check. 'Someone's already taken care of it,' Dylan smiled.
I guess we weren't the only ones eavesdropping on the conversation. After the man received his food Dylan came back to say he was on a break.
He asked if he could sit with the gentleman as he ate. As we left the restaurant the two of them were conversing and many people seated nearby were smiling. It was a touching sight.
With all of the negative stories about our youth today this was a breath of fresh air. I wonder if I would have been as kind and attentive if I were the one working there.
One thing's for sure, if you are ever at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon, ask for Dylan. If he's your waiter you're certain to get great service."

BREAKING: MAGA supporters flood Twitter with negative comments to try to derail the exploding hashtag #Bidenomics because they can't handle the truth.
Unfortunately for them, there's simply no arguing with Biden's record...
The deficit has plummeted by a record $1.7 trillion during Biden's first two years. Republicans always pretend to care about the deficit, but invariably skyrocket it by giving the ultra-rich more tax cuts.
13.1 million jobs have been added to the economy, including a staggering 800,000 manufacturing jobs, proving that only Democrats are actually capable of "making America great again."
But that's not all.
Unemployment has been below 4% for 16 months, a feat which no president has accomplished since the 1960s. On top of that, inflation is dropping.
The proof is in the pudding folks. #Bidenomics works for all Americans, not just the top 1%.
We can't go back to the old failed Republican ways of doing things. Trickle down economics are a myth.
Bidenomics are the future.
@BarackObama It amazes me just how much the uneducated, ill-informed, brainwashed humans have so much to say about issues that they don't even understand. Please people educate yourselves before spewing out d.s that makes 0 sense ๐ ๐
