The Kindness of Appreciation

“Appreciation is a wonderful thing:  It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.”
~ Voltaire

As I was paying for several items at a bookstore recently, I handed two greeting cards to the cashier with the barcodes on the back of the cards facing up.  The cashier thanked me for making it easier for him to scan the codes.  I jokingly replied that I was surprised he noticed.  “I always thank customers when they do that because it’s really thoughtful,” he said.  Clearly, it’s not a big deal on the customer’s part, but I thought it was very nice of the cashier to be so appreciative.
