Help Others.org: The Big Smile at Panera Bread -- A Kindness Story

I was eating lunch with my mom yesterday at one of our favorite places called Panera Bread. Before we left I found $4.00 in my purse. There was no one wating in line so I went up to the cashier and asked if there was a minimum dollar amount for a gift card. He told me no so I asked him to put the $4.00 on a gift card. I then handed him a smile card and asked that he give the gift card and the smile card to the next customer that comes in. He looked at me and with a BIG smile on his face he said "really?" and I told him yes.

Although I did not get to see the reaction of the next customer, the smile on the cashier's face alone was worth it! Hopefully it will inspire him to do the same for someone else.
