Acknowledging Strangers!

Does the cashier at the grocery store wish you a good day? And do you wish him or her a good day in return? A common greeting by any other vendor might be, “How are you today?” You probably answer that you are fine and then the dialogue stops there. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to respond with, “How are you?”

It’s not unusual for perfect strangers to treat us better than we treat them!

The real irony is that the person wishing you well is probably working for a minimum wage that necessitates that they work at two jobs. So, if there is anyone wishing someone a good day, it should be those of us who are going to have a better day than that person who may be scrambling to hold down two jobs.

If not today, when?
