Received a strange compliment yesterday. We were at the drive-thru of a major clown-themed fast-food establishment. After placing our order, we pulled up to the cashier's window. She complimented us on our ordering technique: "I like the way you order. Very clear, you know what you want, no hesitation."
After shrugging this off with a humble grin and some half-witty remark about practicing in the mirror, we reflected:
On the one hand, it's always nice to receive compliments.
On the other hand, we've gotten waaaaay too good at ordering at McDonald's.
How can you put that stuff in your mouth?
ReplyDeleteEverything is relative…to her, your English and ordering skills moved her to compliment you….that, dear heart should be as important to you as a Wall Street observation about your Armani suit.
