day 1

interesting what happened to me on Day 1 of the project

 

     Yesterday I left in the morning to go to Ross and take back some water shoes that I had gotten for Willi but were too small.  I go in and there are 2 lines, one to buy something and the other for customer service.  The customer service girl was helping someone else.  I didn't think much about it and decided to wait.  Since I had to wait, why not be nice about it.  No sighing or staring.  The young employee was having a very hard time with a very difficult customer. They went through her returns like 6 times, the lady arguing the whole time. 

 

I wait a while and then another employee says, I can open the other register, so sorry that is taking so long.  I really didn't mind and acted like I didn't mind.  She says, I am going to give you an additional 10% off today.  Sweet.  It was senior day anyway so I got 20%, plus the shoe return - a bought a new dress.  Which by the way my husband said looks like a grandmother's and I am thinking - I am a grandmother....

 

Now if this was the only time this happened yesterday, I would probably not be telling you, but when I went to get lunch I stopped at a fast food restaurant, (I am not telling you which one, I am already feeling like I am being judged at fast food ) anyway what I wanted would take 4 (he was specific) more minutes.  Sure I said, waiting mode, that is my thing today.  I went to a booth and read for a good 15 minutes.  When my order was ready I saw he had a big bag of food on the counter, that's not mine I say and he says no it is, I gave you an extra meal and some stuff cause you had to wait.

 

Wow. 

Out and out rewarded by the universe for conscious waiting.
