Yes. There is nothing wrong with enjoying money and treating yourself to some fun things and vacations and a cool car. But when our desire shifts from caring about people to caring about things, that's a big problem. There are many things I feel people would benefit from doing. Including spending time working in a restaurant. People need to realize that their side of bleu cheese is really not worth getting bent out of shape about. I haven't been a waiter, but have worked in a restaurant, and it is very high stress.

The other day a cook messed up our pizza order. My friend and I were both very understanding and while we didn't ask for it, the restaurant provided me with a beer on the house and some slices to take hope that I paid forward to some friends.

People in the restaurant business have lives and families and bad days just like we all do, but they have to try to smile and make your day better anyways. Granted there are some awful servers out there, but being courteous goes a long way to making someone's day better. Especially servers, because they take the most abuse for orders even if it was not their fault.

It's true of every profession. Treating others how you would want them to treat you whether they are janitors or ceo's is really not hard to do, but makes a world of difference.
