Douglas Sorocco over at rethink(ip) passed along a story about his encounter with a kind stranger at Starbucks. Naturally, he thought of us given the coffee theme of the event.
While we don’t endorse any particular coffee shop, we’ve been known to frequent the Starbucks at Fourth and Main quite a bit and have had many good exchanges there. But, more often that not, I hurry along about my business and forget to do something nice for others. This week, I’ll make an extra effort to pass along a bit of goodwill. It’s the little things that make the difference.
Let me know if someone’s done something nice for you lately.
*Side Note: Starbucks Gossip reported that Starbucks has opened 1,672 stores so far this year — exceeding its 2005 target of 1,500. Also, sales were up 10% in September, thanks in part to the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
