As children, we're taught the Golden Rule, or the law of reciprocity. Simply put it's to treat others the way you want to be treated. It doesn't stipulate who these others are. It doesn't ask that you seek our only happy, smiling and outgoing people. Sometimes those who are the least inviting are the ones who need the most kindness!
I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!
Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!

Yes! That moment when a certain customer comes in and suddenly all of your colleagues are elsewhere. I took the same approach when I worked part-time in the library near my parents' house. Treat the grumpy and demanding ones with kindness and respect and it's just soo satisfying when they leave with a smile and you have the great feeling that you made their day a tiny bit better. It can be hard work, but so is pretty much anything that's worth doing.
Loving these nuggets of wisdom from behind the steering wheel. :)

howdy today @crowbarmama! this is something so basic to us but most of us need to be reminded of it almost daily when we go out into the world representing God and His love for and of mankind. Did you ever win over the grumby customers at the bank?
words of wisdom, great job!

I can't get this video to play but I do believe in the golden rule. Both matthew and Luke's gospels point this out. I try to teach and imitate this to my kiddos. They have to see us do it and even then it's still easier to hit your brother to them🤦🏻♀️

Ditto!! I also used to work in customer services and I really grew quite fond of some of my "grumpy" regulars. It can be a challenge but with good humour, kindness and time you can make all the difference to their day.
