Jerry is always in a good mood and motivates his employees. When asked his secret, Jerry says that every day he chooses to have a good attitude. Years later during an armed robbery at his restaurant, Jerry was shot but survived thanks to his positive attitude during surgery. He told the doctors to treat him as if he was alive, not dead, and chose to live. Jerry's amazing attitude allowed him to survive the incident and recover.
