The Sympathy She Felt
For many years, she made sure to be patient and careful with the famously crabby customer. He was always rude to her, but she knew that he did not have it easy in life. She did not let his behavior turn her unkind! In fact, she made a point to be nice to him whenever he dropped by the restaurant.
It Meant A Lot To Him
