Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to keep communities safe. A restaurant staff in Slidell decided to show their appreciation for these local heroes in a special way.
The Slidell police officers frequently visit the local Outback Steakhouse, where they are always treated with respect and kindness by the staff. Manager Arline Wood and server Zoe have a special affinity for the officers, who they describe as “the sweetest guys.”
One evening, two employees decided to surprise four officers who were dining at the end of their shift. They picked up the check, totaling around $67, and included a heartfelt note thanking the men for their service.
The officers were deeply moved by this kind gesture and expressed their gratitude on the Slidell PD Facebook page. The post received an outpouring of positive feedback, with many praising the restaurant staff for their kindness.
Manager Arline said she never expected the attention, but simply wanted to thank the officers for their service. She and server Zoe hope that their actions will inspire others to show appreciation for law enforcement officers, who often go unthanked for their bravery and dedication.
This heartwarming act of kindness is a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference. By showing gratitude and respect to those who serve their community, we can help combat negativity and promote a more positive and supportive environment.
Please share this inspiring story to encourage others to show their appreciation for local heroes.
