Down the street I go, in the early morning dark, getting wet, even under my umbrella, because of sideways rain, but, like, totally. committed. to spreading some cheer. Where is my first stop? Ooooh don't you know it!! RUTRTW! Easy-peasie right....?! Nope. This morning I learned that spreading cheer can be haaaard so it's very important to be persistent (just like Kristine & her rad-itude).
This is the convo that happened after I got my RUTRTW & change.
Me: Can you please take this $2 and use it to buy a coffee for the next person who comes to this register?
<hand a toonie to the girl>
Girl: (pure confusion written, like, all over her face) Ummmm, no Ma'am this is your change.
<hands toonie back to me >
Me: Yes, I know, but I want to buy a coffee for the next person in line. Can you use this toonie
<put toonie on counter> and pay for their coffee please?
<phuusshht slide toonie towards her>
Girl: Ummmm, no. No. I don't know how to do that.
<phuusshht push toonie back to me>
Do you even *know* the person next in line?
Me: (looking at the line up) No, I don't know that person. I want to buy a coffee for a stranger. So please use it to buy a coffee for whoever is next in line - just whoever it is :)
<phuusshht push toonie back again>
Girl: No phuusshht | Me: Yes phuusshht | Girl: No phuusshht | Me: Yes phuusshht | Girl: No. Are you sure?! | Me: Yes, very. (repeat two more times) | Girl: <raises eyebrow and gives me a you're-crazy grin> |
Me: <walk away without my toonie> YAAAY!
<look back to see a sweet smile flash across the face of the next person in-line> GAGN-YAAAY :)
BUT WAIT! After that, the morning got better......... another GAGN-YAY!
That's right!! Thaaat happened. I GAGN-YAY'ed two times!!
Spreading cheer is *totally* RIM-RIM !
