Be Cool To The Pizza Delivery Dude - Response.

As I read the Essay Be Cool To The Pizza Delivery Dude I was amazed at what you can learn from the small expericances in life.  I belive that fracticing humility and forgiveness is difficult for people because they get to hung up on everything going on in their own little world.  We must all make a point to forgive and be humble. These traits do not come naturally.  I liked that Sarah found empathy for the pizza dude.  Trying to please your boss and the customer and getting the pizza to its destination through all the traffic and weather is a difficult job at times I am sure.  Job are hard to find these days, I have respect for anyone who gets out and trys to find one and is willing to do the best job they can at what they do.  I am a manager over 28 housekeepers and Laundry works.  My employees have a constant dirty job to perform with minimul pay and they all do an excellant job.  IT is hard to keep a smile on your face when you have spent all morning cleaning up after people and they go right behind you messing it up all the while getting paid more than they do.   These employees deserve a pat on the back every day.  They work hard for little pay everyday to support themselves and their families.  I am greatful for every one of them.  I disagree with the statement that equality is the pride taken in performing a job.  I don't think that equality has anything to do with the performance of a job. Equality is simply a fact. All mankind where created equal.  There are those that might be born to prevolage and wealth and those born to poverty but, woth is not in money or deed it is in you and being who you were created to be.  Finally it is always good to tip the pizza dude.   It is important to make other kinow that they are appriciated in every aspect of life.  Wouldn't you want someone to tip you if it was your job to deliver the pizza. I like how she used the pizza dude to show how we should treat people and how treating others well will in turn make you feel like a better person.  You can never go wrong doing good to others.  Even though they might not respond to your kindness the way you exspect, kindness will always come back to you sooner or later.

  1. I agree with your analysis of "Be Kind to the Pizza Dude". It is all of those people who do the daily grind work that make the world go round. I am a supervisor also, and I know that I cant do my job if the people I supervise arent doing theirs. I try to treat everyone with curtesy and respect. I started out on the bottom rung of the totem pole and I try to never forget that. Those at the bottom usually have the hardest job with the least pay and the least respect. We should all be cool to the pizza dude.
