A Story about Starbucks

Today I got ready at the gym and it was quicker than usual.  I was pleased because I thought great I can get some extra work done at work before the students arrive.  When I proceeded to my local Starbucks someone had gone over the median that you were not supposed to go over and got stuck making everyone who wanted coffee to go around a large amount of construction.  Initially I was upset but then I realized because I had banked a few extra minutes I would be fine.  When I got to the window of the clerk she apologized for the inconvenience .  I told her no sweat you can't help it if some people drive like idiots.  I told her to have a good day as well.  Sometimes instead of rushing and making rash decisions we need to think of others.  The couples car was ruined and a lot of people had to wait, get late to work or miss their train because of one person's stupidity.   But I had a choice that I could be happy and not let it get to me and that I would give kindness to the clerk.  I am sure glad I did.
