Tori Dickson
20 years of Hospitality at Robin’s Nest Cafe
306 - 281 - 7026
I
n the fall of 1997, Tori Dickson decided to take a shift at Robin’s Nest Cafe while her two young daughters attended school. Little did she know that twenty years later she would be a fixture in the community. Her cheerful, playful demeanor has made her popular with all of the customers. People who see her on the street often ask her when her next shift is. Tori greets every customer with a smile and a joke or a clever comment and keeps them smiling during their visit with a story, or listening to their stories, and her outbursts of song have earned the title of The Singing Waitress. “Tori has been a great asset to our business”, says owners Robin & Quinten Odnokon, “She takes a genuine interest in every customer, often offering her opinion or advice. She also has a knack for keeping young kids in line when the restaurant is busy, all while performing her duties perfectly”.
Tori is a bit of a news junkie and loves to have conversations about current events. She is also a big Rider fan, but that seems to be mandatory for any staff members that have ever worked there. She is loved by all the staff, past and present, and has become famous for her “Dice Game” that she introduced into the annual staff parties, which has actually been the cause of some minor injuries. Amazingly, in 20 years she had never won this game until the most recent staff party. “Tori has always had our back for twenty years”, says Robin Odnokon, “and has made Quinten and I part of her family. Both of her daughters have worked for us and we have spent time with all of them, including her husband Terry, her parents and her two grandchildren.” Many business in the hospitality industry seem to lack the hospitality part. Tori understands it perfectly, making it a joy to support that business.
Tori “The Singing Waitress” has been a fixture in the Vanscoy restaurant since 1997
