For some time now, I have been tipping people at drive-throughs. Not much, just a dollar or two, and thanking them. Some are puzzled, some seem pleased, some surprised, and one young woman actually did a little happy dance when I gave her two bucks. Two lousy dollars.
Food workers, particularly those in fast food, are the recipients of lots of abuse. Most places are very understaffed, and customers with their own problems often vent their frustrations on the kid in the window when service is slow.
Let's be patient, and acknowledge that these are difficult and thankless jobs. Let's be polite, and acknowledge these workers. Sure, they are there because they need to work. But they help us, at some risk to themselves.
It doesn't take much to make a difference nowadays.
