A Slow Good-Bye And Help

These grow at the main street  nearby, they didn´t give up - is there still hope? 💙💛

There is more  to come. For now... I have to share this,bet it will make you smile:
 


I found something at FB today I could name, "Everywhere but in Germany" - or "That is America".
Here goes:
 
"Damn, That's Interesting

Due to a scheduling mishap, one frantic Waffle House worker was left alone to run the entire restaurant on a Sunday night. 
 
Ethan Crispo was just one of about 30 hungry customers who wanted food at midnight. 
After sitting at his table for a while, he noticed there was just one distressed employee available at the Birmingham, Alabama establishment to take orders, cook food, bus tables, and manage the cash register.

The employee - who was identified only by his nametag reading 'Ben' - seemed to be on the brink of panic until Crispo saw him speaking to a male customer in a blue shirt sitting at the counter.
After a brief conversation, Ben handed him an apron and the man got to work washing dishes.
 
A couple minutes later, a woman in high heels, and a sequined dress briskly strode behind the counter to brew more coffee. She then took a few orders before resigning herself to bussing tables. 
 
Suddenly, a third customer in a red shirt marched over to help, as well, though Crispo failed to catch his name or snap a photo of the man at work. 
 
The term ‘customer service’ took on a whole new meaning that night. 
Crispo fondly remembers is as a surreal as an example of humanity at its finest."
 
Why not in Germany? RULES. No guests behind the counter.

And of course:
 
 

 
 "Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes
 
About what is valuable 
 
Nothing truly worthwhile comes from ambition or a mere sense of duty; Rather, it arises from love and devotion to people and to objective things."

Really, it get´s scary. I really, I promise, go quote by quote in the gallery´s order and doesn´t this quote again fit perfectly?


You would turn 83 today.

My mum would be 98 if she lived. Interesting about the Waffle House, I think in Australia there are similar rules but if we had a badge with "trainee" on it no one would say anything.

That´s an option with the "trainee"-tag! Might work here- but if something happens.... Yes, these days are always a bit sad...

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I thought worth sharing, hugs

I love that blue fence! So cheerful. And the sunflowers, such hopeful flowers!
