It’s surprising how much goodwill a smile and a couple of dollars will buy.
People want to be noticed and appreciated. A smile and a small tip gives them both.
I was at the DMV Tuesday, and the clerk was polite and pleasant, though she was having a pretty hectic day. When we finished our business together, I complimented her on her professionalism and her smile.
She lit up like a Christmas Tree. It made her day, and I felt pretty good about it too. Kindness is free, yet so rewarding to all parties involved.
