I have delivered pizza for years. Back in October of 2004 I got the best tip ever. He is my best buddy, my little shadow. My kitty cat. I have told the story about how I "adopted" him. But I have to say, when 99.99% of my tips go towards bills or fuel for my car it is nice having a tip that is gonna be there for 20 years. As I post this, he is curled up on my bed, peacefully sleeping. As soon as I get into bed, he will be curled up with me letting me sleep with my head cradled between the pillow and him. His purring will put me to sleep. I will be out within about 5 minutes of cradling my head between him and my pillow. A tip that keeps on giving???? Yes it is true. Yeah, all my OTHER tips have come and gone for bills or entertainment or what not. But the best tip I ever recieved??? He lives on. He is furry, he is funny and loyal, he is a tabby cat named MR Jinx. The only tip I ever have recieved that has and will keep on giving....

That is really a cool story
Mr. Jinx is very happy that you got tipped that way, too! My tips allowed me to raise 2 girls without child support or public assistance. But one of my best tips was about 15 cents from a little boy who found me in the back at the waiters' station, and handed me his coins and told me that I was the nicest lady in the whole world
IMO, how one treats the "pizza guy" is a window into one's soul

What a fantastic story! I waitressed during college and grad school but never got anything as special as a feline tip! One of the hospice patients I worked with did give me my wonderful Siamese girl, my darling Clementine, when her cat had kittens--we've been inseparable ever since! Purrs to Mr. Jinx!
