Last summer holiday, I got a job working at a coffee shop.
One rainy day, one of my regular customers(顾客）camein. He looked upset.He said he wanted to get in bed,pull the sheets(被单) up over his head,and stay there for a few years. I knew that he was unhappy.
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was surprised, since he hadn't ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of doughnut(油炸圏饼).
"It's on me," I told him. "Have a nice day. "
He smiled and thanked me before heading into the rain.
The next day, it was still raining. I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders. I was wet and cold. Worse, no one was tipping(给小费）that day.
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note. He said that not many people took time to care about others today. With a friendly wave, he drove away.
I ran to the back of the shop and read the note. It read:
Christine，
Thanks for being so sweet, kind yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who's so nice. Please don't change your ways! Have a great day!
—Hank
After that, whenever I felt upset, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile，hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, "How can I help you?"
