Extraordinary moments pop up at ordinary times when we pay attention. My friend David was standing in line at the supermarket when an impatient woman broke in line and demanded the cashier check her out. âI only have one item,â she barked. The young cashier politely explained she was serving another customer. Exasperated, the woman broke into another line.
David looked at the cashier, rolled his eyes, and said, âShe must have been in some hurry.â The cashier opened her mouth to reply, then paused and thought better of it. She took a deep breath and said, âI do it, too.â
I do it, too, thought David. What a wonderful response. Instead of judging the impatient woman, the cashier found empathy.
âAll through the day, whenever I got put out with someone, I thought, âI do it, too,ââ David told me. âWhether I was in line, in traffic, or dealing with a rude coworker, I remembered, âI do it, too.â What a gift that cashier gave me,â David said. âAnd I would have missed it, if I wasnât paying attention.â
