NathanThe Same Story
Imagine being in Colleen’s position. She as a waitress has done all that she ever could to make sure her customers are happy and enjoy their time at Red Robin and to be interrogated this way? It would be a huge blow to her self-worth as the mistake happened with a patron customer of all people. An astonished Colleen could do nothing but repeat her same story again and again.
Incredulous Colleen
Having worked at the restaurant, it was something new for Colleen to be seen or even questioned like this. When the police made it seem as though they were suspicious of her role, she obviously felt bad. “It was in my server book with my cash. All I did was collect the money!” she insisted. What could she say to prove that she was not a part of this wicked scheme?
Heads Back Inside
It was also a difficult position to be in for the policemen as it would not be too nice to suspect someone of a crime like this. “I’m so sorry, Colleen,” the officer expressed when Colleen made a move to get back to work inside the restaurant. “This is not the way I wanted your Wednesday to go,” he said as she tried to get back to her daily routine.
What Was Really Going on?
Since Colleen had been outside for a little while, her coworkers at the restaurant and the people inside must have been quite tensed about the whole situation right? Colleen was one of the best employees there so the risk of losing her must have been a dreadful thought. But when Colleen opened the doors to get back in, she realized what was really happening.
A Surprise Party
When she went back to the restaurant, she discovered that it was fully crowded. Confetti was blowing generously into the air. The place was packed and everyone inside was whooping and hollering as soon as she entered. From being questioned by the police outside to this, the popular waitress from Des Peres was absolutely shocked.
A Secret Project
The Dude Be Nice project was secretly working with the Red Robin restaurant and the local community because they wanted to honor Colleen for being so loving and caring. The place was full of Colleen’s family, co-workers, and customers who all felt indebted to her because of all the thing she has done for them. There was not a sad face to be seen.
