Last
week I was hungry, & running late, so I pulled into a fast food place for
drive-through breakfast. At the first window I was greeted by this giant smile
that said “Hi Hokie” when he saw my VT color coordinated manicure. Handing me
back my credit card he said, “My science teacher told me, ‘everything you
learn, you learn from someone else.’ Fun fact for the day.” As I drove forward
to retrieve my breakfast I pondered not only his statement but his
kindness. I was pleasantly surprised by both. At the second stop a woman
opened the small sliding glass window and handed out my breakfast without a
word then closed the window as fast as she had opened it.
As
I drove away I was filled with mixed emotions. Was I jaded because the second
person was rude or had my expectations been set to high by the first person? Do
yourself a favor … when interacting with people do you want to be remembered as
the kind person with a smile or the rude lady that didn’t acknowledge the
person before her?
