Great thread!

Another variation on the Starbucks idea was a story I heard about someone in a car at the toll booth on the Bay Bridge (between Oakland and San Francisco) who paid for the toll of the car behind them. I loved that!

When I’m in a grocery store, I try to be extra kind to the cashier. I’ll ask them how they are, and really mean it, or I’ll thank them for doing a good job. I figure they have to deal with so many people all day long and they probably rarely get to have a ‘real’ interaction like that, so I hope it makes a small difference in their day.
