I was thinking today about how some people at stores or other places really go out of their way to make you happy, when you don't even ask for it. I went on a cruise with my grandma once around Mexico. The people on that ship just smiled, and chatted with you, and did everything they could to make sure you were happy. My grandmother got sick during the cruise, and the guy that cleaned the room during the day brought her some ice cream. My grandma left him a big tip. Also, one time I came back to the room and found my teddy bear tucked in under the blanket. It was so cute. Another time I came back and there was a Jamaican coin on my bedside table. Grandma said the room guy probably found it while cleaning and thought it was mine. I was really impressed that he'd just put it up for me. I took a picture of the bear, I figured out how to put it up but I'll have to do it tomorrow, the picture's on my parents computer and it's after midnight right now.
The other experience I had was years ago when my brother and I went to a movie. It was the first time we went without our parents so we were feeling pretty cool. We were figuring out how much money we had to buy drinks, and the girl told us that she and her friends dodged the high prices by buying a large drink (with free refill) and taking an empty cup with us and splitting the soda, and getting the free refill whenever someone got low. I don't know if we were supposed to do that, but she let us do that so we both got unlimited drinks after buying one large soda. Don't worry, we didn't abuse it by demanding it every time we went to the movies, we just did it that one time. I thought it was really nice of her because we were just kids with limited allowance money.
