Last night, there was a young man who came into Cattlemens and he was going to propose to his girlfriend that night at dinner for their anniversary. Doug, my manager, asks him if he wants to down play it or if he would like for us to make his table special (normally we do a tablecloth and candle). The guy said sure. So they put the tablecloth on and, Doug leaves work and goes to Safeway and buys roses. Misty my other manager picks up some sparkling cider (as they look young so we would have an alternative to champagne).
So the table is set and waiting for them. Their server Carla was waiting on another table across from the one set up and it was a couple celebrating their 50Th wedding anniversary. They asked what was going on with the table, and Carla told them the story. Then after the young couple arrived and the 50Th anniversary couple told Carla that they would like to buy the dinner of the young couple. Not only that but they asked her to get an envelope because they wanted to leave $100 as an engagement gift.
I think I am going to cry again:)

Great story, but you might cry...

You don't see that kind of generosity very often. Both on the part of Cattlemans for going the extra mile and for the elderly couple and their generosity. That's a great story to hear!
