My Neighborhood is Cool
July 18, 2007 · Filed Under Blog
I stop for coffee almost every morning at Arabica in University Heights. Every morning since I have gone there, I have never seen any kind of backup in the line, but this morning there were about 10 people waiting. It seems that someone had scheduled employees wrong, or one employee had failed to show up for work.
Instead of getting annoyed with the long line and complaining, people just waited patiently. When it was my turn, I glanced at the tip jar and it was more loaded than any other time I have ever been to the store. I got a tiny bit of pride as I left my customary tip in the overflowing jar.
