The other day, I saw an old man spilling two hot drinks from his drink tray to the floor in Starbucks. The man seemed to feel sorry for the mess he made. Then, a young lady (a Starbucks employee) came and helped clean up the mess. The man apologized for the mess and I heard her reply, “Oh no problem! I am glad that you spilled those hot drinks on the floor than on yourself.” Then, she got those drinks back to him (no charge of course).
She didn’t have to say that but that was very nice of her to say those kind and caring words. I am certain she made that gentleman feel much better.
So as she was passing by me, I complimented her for her positive and kind attitude. I hope I made her feel better!
It would be so nice if we treat one another with such positive and kinder words every day even in midst of challenges.
