I have actually been flattered by two convenience store people lately. I was in one yesterday looking for some Tums. The clerk wasn’t busy, he said I’ll find ‘em for you man, no problem. I told him I could do it, I know you guys are busy. He told me it was no problem, I had always been nice to him. Says I don’t mind helping good people, just the assholes I won’t help. I admit that made me feel pretty good. And another guy up the road, always gives me free coffee when I come into his store. Won’t even let me pay him. He is always like, always free for you my friend, you a good guy. You stick up for me! He was referencing an incident a few months back, when a customer got shitty with him an called him a “Pakistani sand rambler”. I told the dude to shut his yap and get out of the mans store. He did. The clerk went, no fighting my friend, but I like you sticking up for me. Free coffee for you from now on! I thought, well I’ll be damn. No need to be shitty to people, we all have bad days. I was kind of amazed that people even notice.
