Super week but a question....

[Seabreeze]

And while we're on this topic, why don't we spotlight some of the folks who are friendly as they go about their jobs? I'd like to start by saying Amore' at Amore' Pizza has always been friendly and polite even though he's often a one-man-band running the kitchen, taking money, serving drinks, delivering meals to your table, etc. He makes an effort to greet customers and his low-key, mellow demeanor is very engaging. The folks who work Goatfeathers (SRB) Fish Market are always smiling and pleasant.

I say we should establish a SoWal Service Award called the Charlie Modica SuperSmile Award. Mr. Modica (and the rest of his family) are the poster children for pleasant, polite, gracious service in our area.

OK, everyone, what say you?

The whole point is: We all, no matter where we are or even who we are, need to learn to appreciate those around us. All it takes is a smile and thank you. Or a "Hi, how are you today?" Or, "Excuse me, please." when you are in someone's way. It doesn't matter if the person is a busboy or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or even Bill Gates himself. Nor does it matter who you are. Get rid of egos in regards to social status when dealing with others. Be nice. Smile. Make them feel like you care. Give them a big s*** eating grin that makes your face hurt... Like this Let them know that you appreciate them whether they are serving you or you are serving them.

After this, see how better your day is because you are making other people's day better. See how you can be of service in your kindness.

That's my lecture for the day. Have a beautiful one!

Can you tell this is one of my pet peeves?

I watch people and how there is a ton of people standing in line at grocery stores, all the baggers are busy, and they are standing there looking at the cashier busting their a$$ to get done and they can't even help bag the groceries. This isn't just here. It's everywhere. I love it here because the people working in places we frequent know we care about them & they respond in a similar fashion.

Yep!

And, yes, to the original poster, I do feel very blessed to live here. Mr OM & I talk about that every morning over coffee.

By the way, seabreezer, you are spot on about the Modica Award. Mr Modica sets the pace, and he would be honored to read that you think so, too.
