Please thank that "essential worker" at the drive-thru

Here's a tip about a tip. It's a small gesture on my part, and it's only applicable if, like me, you have the means to do it. 

But that "essential worker" that you encounter in your drive-thru food experience? Well, at risk of sounding a tiny bit political, I'll just say it's "interesting" that amid COVID we're OK with declaring so many minimum wage workers as "essential." 

So here's what I like to do. When my yummy food is handed through the window, I like to hand back a $5 bill or even a $10 along with a sincere "thank you" for that person's "essential" service. 

Their smile of sincere thanks is way worth it.
