This story takes place in Old Town where I used to work at Domino’s. I had been at work for several hours after a long day of classes and I was miserable right from the start. It was an average day at work, I spent most of the time on the road delivering food as usual, however I had received very few tips compared to normal and the ones I was getting were not great. After several hours of receiving few or no tips with customers being more rude than usual my demeanor was beginning to reflect my awful and long day. As the night went on and I continued to ponder how tired and how little money I was making while spending money driving my car which needs a considerable amount of work. I had finally had enough of the situation and I to not be very polite to the next customer by barely greeting them at the door or looking pleased at all with bringing them food. As I went back to my car I sat and looked at the receipt noticing that they had given me a $20 tip. I felt awful because I had never acted that way to a customer before and I sat thinking whether or not I should go back and apologize or not. I didn’t end up apologizing, but afterwards I still had another 5 hours on my shift and I ended up making more money than I ever had. Not that most exciting event in the world but I think it is an interesting example showing that you never know what can happen and should always new people with respect.
