Small businesses seem to be having it rough during this pandemic, even the ones allowed to open their doors to the public. A few days ago, we had the brainwave of asking our local special restaurant to deliver dinner after
lamenting that we can't eat out any more these days.
I could hear the gratefulness in the owner's voice on the telephone when I ordered.
I was touched we were given a complimentary bottle of wine by the delivery person, who might actually have been the owner. I told her she was the highlight of our day.
Yesterday I bought two things in a shop, including truffles, a nice treat. The lady at the cash desk was kind like the restaurant owner. While we chatted, she nearly forgot the truffles. I reminded her.
She suddenly produced a different box of truffles from under the counter, and said, "What the heck, these are on me!" I thanked her and said she had cheered me up. Kindness still prevails even from those who are trying their best to run a business during lockdown.
