A humbling Act of Kindness at a Coffee Shop


--by Ohadinte, posted May 23, 2016
A small act from yesterday: I arrived at the coffee bar and it was busy. There was a free table for me but it was full with prior glasses and dishes. First I waited for the waiters to come and clean it, but they didn't. I became impatient.

Then, I saw how busy they were. I took all the dishes from my table and from another one and brought it with a smile back to the kitchen. For a moment, I made myself one of the team. They were so happy. Serving those who are "supposed" to serve us revealed itself as a very softening act; we all were happy.
