“I wanted to elaborate on this. I rarely meet such welcoming and warm people when I hit up small diners like this. I came in for a quick breakfast, as I had a meeting close by. I grabbed some food from the buffet to go, and when I tried to pay, I found that they do not take any cards at all. It is cash only.I traveled there from Canada, and did not have any US currency, and there was not a bank close enough for me to get there on time for my meeting.Not sure the name of the person working, but she said that I could just take the food, and offered me a coffee to go as well. She said she couldn't have me leave hungry. I have never had that happen before, and her offering this to some out of towner that she doesn't know, or possibly would ever see again....plus I was in a nice car and well dressed (looking like I should be able to afford it), and rarely do I receive any acts of charity looking like that.I wanted to thank them, and I am traveling back to Marmaduke for another meeting next month. I will definitely bring some USD, and will definitely stop in for a breakfast and tip them heavily.Great example of good ole' small town American hospitality.Thank you.“
