Servers know: Take a drink to go.

Most of you know that I work at a restaurant.

I've actually been working at this restaurant for about 11 years now.

The drinks that we serve are pretty expensive.

I'm not even talking about alcoholic drinks.

A glass of Coca Cola from the fountain is $3.

A glass of tea is also $3.

Neither of these things cost hardly anything and yet we charge $3 for glasses of each of them.

They are pretty expensive.

Most people don't realize though that you can ask for a glass to go and we will get you a to go cup.

That way....... if you have lunch and have a chicken sandwich, french fries, and a glass of sweet tea you can also take a fresh glass of sweet tea to go and have it at the office with you.

Since that's a brand new glass of sweet tea it's almost as if the tea was $1.50 since you get two of them.

Most restaurants do this.

Earlier today I was eating at Wendy's with a friend and we were about to leave.

We had both tried the new giant Junior cheeseburger meal which is a pretty good deal for $5.

I had ordered a lemonade and was about to throw it and the rest of my tray out when my friend said "Hey what are you doing?"

Get you a refill to go.

I hadn't really thought about it but I guess it's the sort of thing that we as servers often times do think about.

I filled the glass up with some orange creme soda that I found which was really good.

I was then able to drink it at my house while I did some work on the computer.

It was basically like getting a free medium drink for no reason at all except for the fact that I took one to go.

You can do this almost everywhere you go.
