People It Pays To Be Nice To

He's very nice and always remembers that I like my coffee with a ton of milk and a regular amount of sugar. :) It pays to be nice to the guy who makes your coffee. :-D

Along the same lines as #1, it pays to be very nice to the dudes who make your breakfast and/or lunch. I find that the nicer you are, the fresher your food and the more meat they give you in the sandwiches. Plus, it's just good business to be nice to people who handle your food. :)

Yet, another group of people it pays to be nice to. You never know when you need to call down for a favor (or to have the air turned on/off...hey I work in an old building so we don't have advanced "in office AC/Heat control"). They put things in the mail for us and more.

Hey...if you ever want to make sure that when you come back to pick up your car you don't wait forever in a day...be nice to him.

I've gotten lots of free drinks this way, and no, not the alcoholic kind. It's amazing what a smile and a "thank you" can get you - even in a city like New York.

Hey...talk about a thankless job. If ever there was a job that would make you want to run for the hills, this has to be it. No one wants to strip off their shoes and endure the torturous 3oz test, but there's no need to take it out on the TA. Often I've found that harmless flirting (with the dudes who work there) and a smile and a "thank you" have helped to speed my trek through security.

I remember in college there was this hottie at the Nordstrom shoe department. If ever there was a reason to have an addiction to shoes, he was it! But at any rate, why not be nice to someone so that they can cater to your every need and desire for the perfect pair of shoes. :)

Just too obvious for words, if you need this explained then you're probably not nice to a lot of people and you probably think that service everywhere sucks.
