The paw-print tattoo on Summitt's wrist often leads to conversations with strangers about her love of animals; she's a volunteer with a pit bull rescue group and spends lots of time finding homes for animals of all kinds.
ReplyDeleteWhile tending bar at the Holiday Inn in Clinton, New Jersey, Summitt got to chatting with a friendly couple before the night got busy. The man asked her if she had dogs of her own; she confided that her "baby," a Great Dane-black Labrador mix named Tucker, was at the veterinary hospital after having emergency surgery hours earlier after he swallowed a hard plastic ball. She was worried about him.
The man said something about surgery being expensive. She confided the estimate was around $2,700, but she would do whatever she had to do for the dog, whom she adopted in 2011. Summitt, 37, works three jobs -- full-time as a chef at the hotel, Saturdays as a bartender, and as a food prep worker two days a week at a deli in her town. Her husband works full-time and Summitt has three stepchildren.
The Holiday Inn confirmed the tip was legitimate
The couple ordered drinks and dinner at the bar. When it was time to close out their $80 tab, the man filled out the receipt with a tip -- for $1,000.

This week, many people will work on environmentally friendly projects in honor of Earth Day. At Kirkwood Community College, they strive to make every day Earth Day, and the school has a variety of initiatives that are helping the campus go green. Just through recycling, Kirkwood kept 71 tons of materials out of the landfill. Stations have been established at The Cafe on campus to help keep even more recyclable materials out of landfills. The stations allow students to divide their waste amongst three bins: trash, recycling, and compost. Behind the food line at The Café, workers have been composting food waste since day one, but they only recently started asking students and staff to do the same. Officials admit it is challenging getting everyone on board.The college is working to educate the public on recycling and composting so people don't just dump their entire tray into the trash. Food isn't the only thing that's compostable at The Cafe. Serving items like cups and plates are made from biodegradable materials and can be composted. Everything that goes into the compost bin is picked up by a company called Green RU, which turns it into rich soil used on farm land and in landscaping.
