Sometimes It Pays To Be Kind To People

I don't know just what in the hell has been going on lately, but it seems my new attitude has changed my life dramatically.

Within the last two days, I have scored on free shit like you wouldn't believe! It isn't like there was any motive on my part either to suck up to get freebies.

Truth be told, I was actually a bit blown away because I have never been the type who wins anything.

I called my mother and asked her for advice and she told me to shut the hell up and go buy a lottery ticket!

So the question I have been pondering over lately is if being positive does ultimately attract more positive things to happen?

A couple of days ago, I was eating at a restaurant where the waitress was constantly being belittled by the man she was serving. Seeing how closed off she was, I made a conscious effort to look in her eyes and smile as she was serving me.

What I didn't expect was for her to open up and talk about her recent vacation or her boyfriend or her life outside of the job. However, she did just that.

Later on I would contemplate just what I did to make her feel so comfortable. I mean, was it my kindness, or did she just sense my openness so, in turn, became more open herself?

As I was getting ready to leave, I looked down at my bill to find it to be half the price it should have been. Being a person of integrity, I looked up and said, "Sweety, I think you calculated my bill wrong. There are some items missing and you didn't add my diet coke to the bill at all."

She just looked at me with a little devilish grin on her face and winked at me and said, "Honey. As far as I'm concerned, you had water all night."

Ironically, yesterday I also hit the freebie jackpot!

I hate to admit it, but I have a terrible Starbucks habit. As I was pulling up to the window, I was expecting a standard greeting and got just the opposite!

Before any words exited my mouth, the cute little coffee boy came across the speaker and frightened me by telling me what my order was!

My response, "What are you, fucking psychic? How did you know my order? Can you see me?"

"No. I'm psychic." he says this while laughing hysterically.

"you little lying bastard" I say "the camera is right fucking there."

I point to the camera with my "f" finger and reach out of my car and cover it up.

We were both laughing so hard and I felt a little guilty because the line behind me was beginning to back up with cars.

Surprising enough, after receiving my coffee, he looks at me and smiles and says, "open up your hands sweetheart."

Who would have thunk it? Starbucks is coming out with some new brand of instant coffee which can be added to cold water.

I now have about a months supply of coffee samples. Lol.
