Be kind; A 10-Year Old Teacher Tips Us in Life
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "Miss, how much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Okay then, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table, and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier, and left.
When the waitress came back to that table, she began to cry as she wiped it with the wash cloth. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish with vanilla ice cream swirled around the edges, were two nickels and five pennies...
You see, the little boy couldn't have the sundae, because he wanted to secure enough coins to leave her a tip. That was a tip to her and here's a tip for you: remember those who serve you even if they don't remember you because it just might help remind them of their own value as a server.
Share smile, use the ability to forgive, tolerate criticism.
