I met such a lovely person today.
I went to get an ice cream at a little place near my bus stop outside work and when the girl was half way through scooping my honeycomb caramel I realised I was a bit short (this isn't the cheapest shopping district in Adelaide) and I told the girl not to worry but she just said "Well, I'll have to waste the ice cream anyway. Why don't you give me what you have, you can the ice cream and I'll put it through as something else."
Isn't that so lovely? After that I felt I should be especially nice to people around me to make up for that lovely deed done unto me.
Now if that happened at my work the person short of change would be told, in no uncertain terms, that $6.50 for a packet of M&Ms is a perfectly acceptable rate and if you can't afford it, what are you doing in *suburb name withheld*? (Well, we do try to be a bit polite about it. We hint at the ATM outside and all that.) Makes me feel a little guilty really, I wish I worked somewhere that allowed me to be nice to customers.

I love it when people are nice like that. There's this Indian take away place near my work I sometimes go to, and the woman always gives me more of that bread stuff than I order. That warms my heart.
Also: YUM, your post made me want to have ice cream.
Does that mean my blog is super hot?
