The Cookie Crumbled Nicely Today

(I’m having an awful day, and the first half of my shift only makes my mood worse. By break, I’m about ready to cry. My manager rings me out for food, and I realized I’ve forgotten to add something to the order.)

Me: “Uh… [Manager]… can you ring me out for a cookie?”

Manager: “For you?”

Me: “Yeah…”

Manager: “Just grab one. Or two. You’ve been looking upset all day; you probably need something to cheer up with.”

(I smiled for the first time all day and was a lot better for the second half of my shift.)
