I wasn’t  39  the people with enormous orders the women who  40    that the coffee was much too creamy or the men who wanted their iced coffee remade   41    until they reached perfection. I couldn’t seem to   42   anyone.

One rainy day one of my regular customers came in looking   43   . He said he felt like getting in bed    44    the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.Before he left I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was  45   since he hadn’t   46   anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of doughnut.

“It’s  47  me.” I told him. “Have a nice day.”He smiled and   48   me before heading back out into the rain.

The next day it was still raining No customers wanted to get out of their cars so I spent my afternoon  49  the window handing people their orders. I was completely wet and freezing cold.  50  no one was tipping that day. Every time I looked into our empty tip jar I grew more  51 .

In the evening the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note.

The note read:

Christine

Thanks for being so sweet kind and  52  yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s genuinely nice. Please don’t  53  your way! Have a great day! -----Hank
