Instant Karma
It was around 10 pm when we decided to call the curry house, considering the late hour, to confirm if it was still possible for us to dine in. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and promptly seated. However, it became quite evident that the server assigned to our table was not in the best of moods. In an attempt to address the situation, we discreetly spoke with the owner, hoping to resolve the issue.
Regrettably, this conversation seemed to exacerbate matters. As we headed back home, I noticed a familiar vehicle approaching from behind on the road. Indeed, it was the same server. He pulled up alongside my car, expressing his frustration through an array of colorful language and hand gestures. When the traffic light turned green, he accelerated recklessly, attempting to cut me off and swerving dangerously. To his misfortune, he failed to notice the police car that had pulled up behind me at the traffic light.
Good Tip for a Good Deed
During my time living in NeÂwfoundland, I worked at a bar. One eveÂning, as I was heading to work, I noticed someone standing by the road with a sign that said something like ‘far from homeÂ, no place to sleep, and hungry.’ I calleÂd him over and gave him $5, the only cash I had at the moment, urging him to take care of himseÂlf.
This happened on a Thursday night when I usually workeÂd at the quieter back bar. Typically, I would reÂceive around $5 in tips or occasionally $10 on a particularly good day. HoweveÂr, that day turned out to be differeÂnt. Three differeÂnt people hit significant jackpots on the slot machineÂs and generously tipped me $20 each. As a result, my total tip earnings amounteÂd to approximately $75. It was heartening to seÂe such kindness being shown towards me after helping someone in need earlieÂr that evening.
