What I like about 81 year old retired school teacher Gilbert "Gil" Walker is that despite the fact that he does not have deep pockets in terms of money, he has gained a lot of friends at a Dunkin' store in Concord California by giving them a huge tip of $280 dollars that will be divided among 14 employees. Dunkin' became the new store where Gilbert would go to enjoy getting his drinks after the Coronavirus forced him to leave Peet's Coffee since the store was affected the by the pandemic. Gilbert was impressed by the service at the Dunkin' store since the employees reminded him of his former students in his physical education class. Even though the Concord Dunkin' will not close due to the pandemic, the employees hours are being reduced. Gilbert has gained the love of the management at Dunkin' that he can have his meals free of charge since Gilbert who is nicknamed "Grandpa" has earned his love from the management and employees. It is nice to see a business like Dunkin' get along with their customers who are kind to them in terms of coming to their place to be served a great meal.

@Deepizzaguy I was wondering if that was like Dunkin' Donuts. Dunkin' Donuts are good. Thanks for explaining that to me.
