He was exhausted when he arrived to work the next day, but he went about his daily duties, putting on a brave face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill.Usually as he prepared to close for the night, a couple of customers would sit down and order drinks.Most of the crew had left by closing time，but Seminole stayed to serve.Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill.The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt.“Tomorrow will be better，” he murmured.
