My goal this week is to go to the beach twice and have my coffee and an early morning walk. The water is freezing!
Yesterday I was waiting for the printer at the beach to print my waiver to sign but they had trouble with it. a woman behind started complaining and I let other people go through while the printer tried to figure out what it was going to do. The woman was a guest of one of the beach pass holders.
even though I let everyone through - when her friends turn (the pass holder) came up the woman complainer came next to me and started to say what a terrible system it was and that they were taking too long and blamed the girls behind the desk. It wasn't long. What a scowl. She tried to complain to me - and I gently told her that the girls behind the desk were really working hard and they just had a glitch with the computer and the printer. I didn't say it but She was not giving herself a lovely start to her and her children's beach time.
After her was a family, who didn't realize how expensive a pass would be for their family of 5, - they had stopped at the beach where there wasn't a life guard thinking they could swim for free. They had to go to this paying beach. But stood in line and were so disappointed that it would cost $10 a piece, but their kids never complained. They were counting through their cash trying to come up with the money, I gave some to the girl behind the desk a bit of cash, bc I couldn't see this family coming all the way for nothing. I no longer have little ones and it was such a pleasure to help them. The kids were thrilled - the dads worry melted off his face. Attitude and gratefulness is everything. I was amazed at this family attitude and grateful that I could share in their happiness.
