Kindness After the Christmas Rush

"Life is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy."
―Ralph Waldo Emerson

At a store today, I stood in a long checkout line.  One of the cashiers, who seemed relatively new, was trying to figure out the price of an item for a customer.  The cashier asked the employee working next to her what she should do; the second woman told her to go and find another one of the same item.  Apologetically, the cashier asked the customer if she would mind waiting while she ran to find another one of the item.  "Not at all," the customer said.  "I am not in a rush."  Relieved and appreciative, the cashier went off to get the price.
