Service. Getting good service. Getting good service at a grocery store chain. Don’t really expect it. When it happens it makes the whole shopping experience. Even lightens up the day a bit.
Was standing at the deli counter. Two people being served and one in front of me. One of the people behind the counter was really slow. It took longer than expected to have them call my number. As I was standing there I was thinking, “please let the faster one finish first and call my number. If I end up with the slow one, one of us may not survive the experience” (it had been a bad day already).
To my surprise a third person came behind the counter and my number was called. She was friendly and fast. Soon I was on my way.
By no means was this a life altering experience. It was just a life brightening experience. A momentary smile.
