I was at a stand-and-eat restaurant. When I approached the bill counter, there were a few folks already waiting. The guy behind the counter was busy on the phone. It is a shop where no one follows a queue. People just swarm the counter and whoever can get the attention of the counter guy gets his bill serviced first.
Before the counter guy hung up, a few more customers joined. He started servicing the orders one by one. He looked at me to serve next, as I was leaning over the table with my hands stretching up to him. At the last moment, I withdrew my hand and told him to serve the gentle man who came before me.
The waiting man was pleasantly surprised and said a very warm thank you. It felt good :)
