Top service amid the outage


February 1, 2012 · Updated 2:56 PM 

Long-overdue praise must go to Amber and two other employees of Denny’s who worked at 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning (Jan. 19) during the power outages.

Despite being at Denny's for almost 24 hours, including 12 hours without power, these three were attentive, professional, smiling and pleasant in an astonishing way. And, despite our protestations, when Amber made a slight error on our order, she insisted on paying for our breakfasts.

What a joy to leave our darkened home and discover such a treasure.
