People should be nice not to get something for themselves, but to give themselves to something. ” Very good point!

Having worked in customer service (restaurants) for 25 years I can tell you that people who truly appreciate you and your efforts come few and far between. It’s a thankless job for the most part but I always smiled and was nice no matter how I felt.

Nice story. I find the syrupy “goodness” of today’s economics nauseating and you have helped me to pinpoint why.

The year I was married, someone gave me a piece of Dove chocolate. Inside of the foil was a small quote that said, “The reward for a good deed is to have done it.” I saved it, taped it to some cardboard, and use it as a bookmark to this day. And I find that the wrapper is right.

I got a whole lot more than a piece of molded cocoa.

Weird. Weird that she defended the process, but in the end, had to ‘fess up. It was probably that darn bell. Who wants to listen to THAT all day? Plus, it’s false happiness, cheerfulness, and welcoming spirit. And, what if you’re crabby? That could push you over the edge. Aren’t the best cashier exchanges the ones that speak truth? Great story.

Goodness! I got intimidated reading this. I think I’d run for the hills. No going in that store without makeup or greasy hair or in sweatpants and trying to go unnoticed!
