Inspired by the "Idea of the Week"

--by JeanieMarie, posted Dec 5, 2009

I just finished reading the "Idea of the Week" story and I had to smile to myself. I have no idea who or when or where he/she wrote the story, but it definitely stuck with me.

A few weeks ago I was so impressed with a young man who took my order at a drive through window at a fast food place, that when I got home I immediately called the restuarant & talked to the manager. I didn't know the young man's name so I could only describe him. I had hoped that he would be recognized for his very gracious manner.

Of course I have no way of knowing if I'm on the "same page" as that writier but I do hope that my phone call had the same effect for "my young man" as that writer experienced.

The moral of the story is don't hesitate to spread compliments around where they are due. Hand them out like Smile cards!

Great story!
