For many years I also had no place to go, and was thankful for restaurants that were open. Sometimes seeing a friendly face on a day like Thanksgiving is more important than the food.
Been there. Hopefully you are doing better.
Whenever I would work a holiday, I always kept that in mind. I know on FR having a heart can be a liability. Not everyone even has a family. Lot’s of lonely souls out there. I felt good about serving them.
