I've seen other forums with similar threads and I find it is always nice to see/hear kind stories about humanity versus the regular gripes. So, share here the good deed you've done for the day. I'll start.
I went for breakfast with a client this morning and we met at this greasy spoon he likes to visit - good food, large tables so we can spread out paperwork. Anyways, an elder woman with a stroller came into the restaurant, she even needed the waitress to open the door for her as she couldn't let go of her stroller.
While my client was gabbing away, I was half listening to him and half listening to this woman ordering; she was asking the waitress how much toast would cost and how much a coffee would cost and did the coffee come with a refill?
After our meeting was over, I went to the back of the restaurant where the waitresses gather to bring out food, asked the one girl if she was serving this older woman and she said she was indeed. So, I pulled out a $10 bill and asked if that would cover her meal? The waitress smiled ear to ear and said it was more than enough. I never told the woman what I did.
We left the restaurant out back, chatted some more, and by the time I was leaving in my car the older woman was outside walking slowly. She saw me, stopped, smiled and waved quickly. Made me smile all afternoon.
