A Stranger Becomes A Friend

--by rishigangoly, posted Feb 15, 2013

Today was my first day using Smile cards!

I decided to experiment at the CCD in the Phoenix Mall in Kurla West, Mumbai. I told the cashier I wanted to pay for the coffee of the next person who came in after me. I was still having my iced tea when the next customer was presented with the Smile card.

The experience felt great. He came over, smiling, and said, "So, thanks for the coffee ... but how does this work?"

We chatted and drank coffee together for the next thirty minutes minutes. That stranger is now a new friend.

This is great. I love Smile cards!
