If you read my blog often, you may know of a tiny, little addiction I have to Starbucks. Just minor. I can quite anytime I want. Really. So my sis asks me to garage sale with her this morning and I of course ditch all my plans, pack up the boys and head across town. And on the way, there just happens to be a Starbucks. Is it my fault they put one there? No. It's like a moth to a flame people. But I digress...
There was this absolutely snooty woman in front of me who was on her cell phone the entire time she was in the drive thru line. Like the entire time. Even when the ever patient and polite server asked her 3 times what she wanted to order. And the woman told the server to hold on. How rude. I almost yelled out my window. But I wanted to set a good example for my boys so I sat back silently fuming and just waited. You would expect after that kind of treatment the server would be rude right back. But nope. She was sunny and smiling even after little miss high maintenance handed the coffee back and asked her to dump some of the coffee out and add one of those cap stir stick things. Well, at this point I am rolling my eyes and blaming the woman for all the great garage sale deals I am missing. LOL So I pull up to the window and am blinded by the sweetest smile EVER. I told her to google me before I drove away. Dania, (I hope I spelled that right) you made my day with your sunny smile and excellent service. So welcome to the world of scrapbooking blogs...take a peek around in my archives to the right and you'll discover I love to give stuff away. It's a little thing we like to call RAK (Random Act of Kindness). Please e-mail me at scrapbaby333@yahoo.ca and I would love to send you an original Kate creation. Just for being your friendly, wonderful self today.
Everyone can take a lesson from this young lady. Certainly me because I would have told that lady outright how rude she was being. Pay it forward today and do something nice for someone. It will make you feel good inside and it will show on the outside. Cheers.

good customer service is hard to come by these days.....
hope you found some good deals!
Those girls (and guys) at Starbucks are above and beyond... she deserves a RAK for sure!!
Sometimes it is really hard to understand how rude people don't realize how rude they appear to others, isn't it? Good for you to show your boys the mannerly way in life. I so appreciate the little things that I run across on a daily basis that show good manners have been taught. The server at Starbucks deserves your recognition. hats off to you
ahh that is so sweet of you to call her out like that and offer her kind words and a RAK....did she ever email you for her RAK. Way to go for being a gr8 person and recognizing the need for a kind gesture as you did here.
