At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a part-time job at the local coffee shop. The customers were hard to please. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough milk. It was really boring, but I made it.

One raining day, one of my regular customers came in, looking blue. I asked what the problem was, but Hank wouldn’t tell anything. He just said he felt like going to bed and staying there for a few years. I handed him a bag of his favorite doughnuts. He was surprised because he hadn’t ordered* anything.

“It’s on me,” I told him. “Have a nice day.” He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain. The rain lasted and the business was really slow the next day. I spent my afternoon handing a few customers their orders. What’s worse, no one felt like tipping that day.

However, around 7 pm, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of ordering anything, he handed me a lovely pink rose and a little note.The note read:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. I was really touched by you. It is so nice to meet someone who is nice and warm. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you will be successful. Have a nice day!

Hank

He said that few people took time to care about* others now and he was glad that there were still people like me. I was speechless and very touched. I hadn’t thought I had done anything special.

Later I met more complaining* customers. However, anytime I felt sad or just sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high and asked politely, “What can I do for you?”
