Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Small Acts Bring Big Rewards


--by MissTina, posted Jun 27, 2019
This was such a small thing, but seeing how grateful they were was surprising! I recently started a new job as a server in a new restaurant. For a majority of the employees this was their first time working in a restaurant.

They did require that many "server items" (books, notepads, pens, aprons, etc.) to be provided by the employee. I realized that this was a burden to some of the employees that were not prepared to invest in these items for the job.

I already had these items from previous restaurant jobs and while usually the extras were back ups for me I gifted several items to those I felt needed it most. I was overwhelmed with their gratitude, especially for what I thought would be so insignificant.
