Working in food service, I've seen firsthand how a little kindness can completely change someone's day. Wendy Williams’ advice to "be kind to food service workers" really hits home because those behind the counter or serving tables often face stress, long hours, and sometimes unkind customers. I remember once when a customer was particularly rude, I jokingly gave them decaf coffee — it made them laugh and diffused the tension. Treating food service workers with patience and kindness benefits everyone. It creates a positive atmosphere and encourages better service in return. Even a simple "please" and "thank you" can brighten a server’s day. Plus, humor and empathy go a long way — turning potentially negative interactions into moments of connection. If you ever feel tempted to be impatient or rude, try imagining the hard work behind the scenes. These workers handle numerous orders, sometimes under pressure, and your kindness can be a huge boost. Sharing a smile, tipping well, or even small acts of appreciation can make your dining experience and theirs much better.
