15 minutes with Alee Gratz-Collier

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 10, 2010 - 9:04am
Alee Gratz-Collier

So, Alee, what year did you graduate from BHS?

2004.

Where do you work?

At the Revolver Restaurant, Findlay. I'm a waitress.

Tell me about the best tip you ever received.

We pool our tips. One night there was a guy who was showing off. He was with another couple. It might have been a business dinner. The dinner cost $150 and he tipped $200.

If you ever had a vanity plate, how would it read?
