He walked up the the boss and told him to cook a steak dinner for everyone who works there and when the night shift came in to cook them one also. The old guy picked up the tab right there in advance. I had worked on the old mans truck before and he gave me 100.00 more than I asked him for. Said I worked to cheap and I told him thanks and to keep it if he needed it.. but he said no, it's yours kid. Turns out the old fella is just that way, don't see many like him. To look at his old clothing and 76 Dodge truck you wouldn't think he could afford to do that.
