I went to the dollar store yesterday. The cashier wasn't the friendliest. As I was walking out I saw something I wanted to buy. I got back in line.
The guy cashing out told the cashier "you have a look like you want your day to be over.” She said it was her Monday. I wanted to say so badly that well it doesn't mean you need to be grumpy (but I kept my mouth quiet).
I thought maybe there's more to it than just that. I got to the counter and quickly bought a Kit Kat candy bar. She handed me my change. I gave her the Kit kat bar saying " this is for you. Hopefully it will make your day go better." Her facial expression completely softened, she smiled and said "thank you. I thought she was going to cry.
I think sometimes just a small token of kindness can make someone's day.

Brad2 wrote: Good job, last week, a grumpy cashier was checking my groceries and didn't say anything to me when I said 'good morning' to her, it got me thinking. So I made her and co-workers a pizza for lunch, told them that I saw how they are still working after everyone else is in lockdown. "I care for you and..." was all I got out before she almost broke down and walked around the register and gave me a hug, thanking me for understanding.... you see, her co-worker told me she had lost a relative and his funeral was that morning, because of restrictions, she wasn't allowed to attend, she loved him, so she went to work, because he had told her before he died 'he was glad she had a job to support her kids now..." this really made me think, I have gone through this too...
