Rude Customer Irritates Drive-Thru Employee, Next Day Surprises Everyone With This Note
Anyone who works in retail and customer service knows that rude people (among other things) are pretty much a daily occurrence, but this Starbucks barista had an experience with an angry woman in drive-thru that most of us would never even imagine.
The woman, who gave her name as Debbie, came to a Starbucks drive-thru on Monday. Perhaps she was just in need of her morning coffee, but she gave an employee a hard time due to the cafe’s outage of drink carriers. After reflecting on her actions, Debbie decided to make up for the “less than cheerful encounter” and came back the next day with a heartwarming apology to the berated barista.
The anonymous barista was understandably floored by what he received, and posted it on Reddit under the username CircleAddict. “As someone who has also worked in retail and food service in the past, [this] made my shriveled, black heart pump blood again,” one user commented. We don’t know where in the world Debbie is, but she’s spreading good karma, and that’s something to be applauded.
Greetings [Starbucks] Barista!
Yesterday at your drive-thru we has a less than cheerful encounter. At no fault of yours, you were out of carriers [and] said you could not take my empty cup (trash). I was less than understanding [and] my manner was curt.
I need to apologize. The thought of leaving a trail of unkindness like that is so not the path I want to reflect. Not for you, not for me.
You are a young man, clearly working hard to build a future [and] you should be commended. Keep up your attitude of cheer [and] hope. Stay hopeful no matter what kind of people cross your path (or drive-thru).
[Surely], God has good [blessings] in store.
You taught this ole lady something yesterday about kindness, compassion, [and] staying humble.
I thank you! Debbie
God bless you today [and] all your todays.

It's nice to see that some people are able to admit they did something wrong and apologize for it :)

Reminds me of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's story. He was in high school, new kid on the block. One day, in school, he wanted to take a p**s but found the smell of the boys bathroom a little too disturbing to handle. So he decided to use the teachers bathroom instead. The football coach caught him inside their bathroom and told the young Dwayne Johnson that he's not allowed inside the teachers lounge. Instead of apologizing then and there, he told the teacher "Okay. I'll leave when I'm done." Then proceeded to wash his hands. The coach was fuming as Johnson walked right passed him without saying a word. The next day, Dwayne looked for the coach to apologize for his rude behavior the day before. In return, the coach invited Dwayne to tryout for the football team. And the rest is history... Source: Top 10 rules for success by Dwayne Johnson
