When he finished I said, "Here, let me give you a Kiss." He turned white until I handed him the candy.We both smiled. ( A lady old enough to be his grandmother.)

My dad did that one night. He opened his burger at Wendy's, and he said that it was just perfect (not sloppily tossed together like normal). He went up to the counter and demanded to know who had made his food. My dad's a big guy, and the teenager that walked out was about to wet himself. :-) My dad told him that he appreciated him doing such a good job, and the guy floated his way back into the kitchen, grinning from ear to ear. @Trish Hey, that’s an interesting one!

I was out and about today and decided to stop by Sonic for a BLT and an orange cream slush. The serer was quick and frienly. Since I drove through for my food, it wasn't until I was back on the highway that I noticed that my BLT was perfect. It's so rare to have the "perfect" sandwich from a fast food restaurant that I actually paused and took notice. After eating this perfect sandwich I felt really happy. So happy that I picked up my cell and called the manager. I said I know that people only call you when something did not go right with their order, but your team made me a perfect lunch. He was thrilled. We talked for about five minutes and had a great conversation. By the end of the call, he was smiling, I was smiling, and his whole team was smiling. Nice feeling.

Were you aware that Diet Dr. Pepper is my second favorite drink? :-D I think that's a wonderful example of how you can bring a smile to everyone's face! Now if you'd only sent one up to Huntsville for me... @April

Sonic has happy hour between 2pm and 4pm every week day and I'm addicted to it. I took a break this afternoon and headed down to the local Sonic with only a route 44 diet dr pepper in my sights. I got there and thought about how happy it would make my coworkers if I brought them back something. I came back with flavored sodas and slushies. Those were the happiest people I'd seen all day. I one skype me from her desk to say "OMG this is so good, thank you so much" Now that made me smile. I cant being to top Krista or Alicia but, I did something today that made my coworkers smile.
