Sherlock Holmes Day
Sherlock Holmes Day is an annual celebration, marked on the birthday of its creator, May 22. It was on this day that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came kicking into this world. Baked vividly into our imagination as the premium detective archetype because of near-constant portrayals by famous actors in pop culture, it is hard to believe that the novels debuted nearly 150 years ago. Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly the most portrayed of all literary characters. Fans from all around the world gather to celebrate this international holiday, in celebration since 2013.
National Waiters and Waitresses Day
National Waiters and Waitresses day is on May 21. The day is set aside to celebrate and recognize the value and importance of a good waiter or waitress. Waitstaff are the difference between a good experience and a bad one at a restaurant or bar. They are the face of the restaurant and so should be appreciated. Their total pay consists of a minimum wage and tips they receive from customers, which vary. Their minimum wage is generally lower than the general minimum wage, and tips are meant to be the compensation. People are encouraged to give better tips to waitstaff.
