Salernos Employees Take Customers to Disney World

Less than a month ago, the Salernos restaurant owner took all of the employees and their families on an all expense paid vacation to Disney World. Looking for a way to share the joy and gratitude they experienced, the employees in turn decided to thank the ultimate people responsible for their trip - their customers. Last week, the staff paid for the same trip they took, for all of their 24,000 customers from the last five years.

"It was an unbelievable gift - totally unexpected and fantastic," said Salernos regular customer Joe McBee. "But where were the crabs? Not to be ungrateful, but isn't that what they're all about? A comped dozen wouldn't have put the squeeze on them, I think."

The group of customers all visited Disney World together, starting with a huge caravan of 1200 buses, driving together down I-95. They swarmed all of the theme parks and were generally well behaved. The Salernos customers all wore special shirts, "My restaurant staff gets to steam crabs and all I got was this trip".

Most of the customer on the trip were long time Salernos faithful but some on the trip just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Louise Steadman ate at Salerno's just more than a year ago, using a gift certificate from her employer: "One day I'm stuffing myself with crabs, the next I'm about the lay an egg I'm so scared in the Haunted Mansion"

Another diner, driving back home to West Virginia two years ago, stopped by Salernos for directions and decided to grab a sandwich at the same time. "The Salernos staff paid not only for me but for my sister, cousin, and wife - boy was she excited. We both had a great time." Regular McBee continued his appreciation, "Awesome trip, just awe-sum!", then adding, "I'm gonna start eating at Captain Dan's; I wonder where he'll take me."
