Last summer holiday, I got a job working at a coffee shop.
One rainy day，one of my regular customers(顾客）came in. 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?"
