Restaurant customer who left car overnight given awesome reward for not drink-driving

Coming back to the car to find a note stuck to the windscreen leaves most of us with a sinking feeling.

And this person, who left their car parked overnight outside a restaurant, would well have expected a parking ticket or an angry missive from the owners.

And it was indeed a letter from the restaurant, but far from expressing outrage at the car being left overnight, the letter was in fact an offer of free food.

The restaurant, even though they did not know whether the person had been a customer, had been so impressed that they had left the car rather than drive home after a drink that they rewarded them with some chicken - a n entire pound of chicken wings in fact.

The note read: "Just wanted to thank you for leaving your car overnight. I'm not sure if you had consumed alcohol at our restaurant or not, but we wanted to thank you for not drinking and driving.

"Enclosed is voucher good for 1lb of our delicious chicken wings.

“Please accept this as a thank you for being responsible. Life is valuable, have a great weekend.”

The lucky recipient shared his good luck on Reddit. Maybe he’ll share his chicken too.
