Unexpected perks

My favorite prof had me get some documents for him the other day. This morning he brought me grapes.

It's amazing what a little appreciation will do. I faxed out a request a few weeks ago of an article about how much being appreciated does for employees. So if you get a chance, thank someone today. Especially someone who doesn't get to hear it very often -- maybe the person at the drive-thru window at McDonalds or the person who bags your groceries. It's good karma.

And you never know how much your little kindness will matter to the clerk.

What else can matter so much and costs so little?

(Part of my personal credo is: Be Nice To Others, Especially Service Workers)

I always thank the person at the drive thru, and I tell them to have a good day. I guess it is a habbit I got from work cause I work as a cashier at a grocery store.
