This is going to be a little bit of a story time before I get to my point, bear with me. Yesterday evening I ordered myself a meal from McDonalds, because I had been graving junk food for a few days and finally caved in. I live in the city centre but because I'm a lazy motherfucker, I had the meal delivered to me at home. I ordered a Big Mac meal, Chicken Nuggets and a McFlurry, and like usually, I order orange juice instead of soda. I used the Wolt app to order my food, so I didn't have to communicate with anyone personally.

A little after my order went through, my phone rang. I kinda guessed it was McDonalds calling and saying that they don't have something I ordered. I didn't pick up because I hate talking to strangers on the phone, and I just figured that whatever, I'm not that picky, they'll replace it with something else, and so they did.

When I got my food, there was this note attached to it:

Translation of the note:

Hi!
We are sorry but we don't have orange juice at the moment 😞 We tried to call you, and ask what you want instead. We gave you apple juice, hope that is okay. We'll have the orange juice in stock soon. Hope you enjoy your meal!
– Aada from McDonalds 😊 ❤️ 🍟

We need more sweethearts like Aada from McDonalds in the world! She didn't have to use her time at work to write a sweet note to me, she could have just replaced the orange juice with apple and call it a day. She also didn't have to give me an extra dip and a bottle of Raspberry Coca-Cola! _{Which btw, was surprisingly good!}

She didn't do it because of business reasons or because McD needs to be extra nice to one customer, their business is so huge that even if they would be rude to half the customers, they'd still have a hugely successful business.

It's the little things people!

What Aada did over there, was out of being a nice person, and the extra stuff she put into my package, didn't cost the company more than a few cents, but it made me feel really good on a random Friday night. I love people who do nice little things for other people, just for the goodness of their heart. Not because someone told them to, or ask them to, but just because they felt like it.

It doesn't have to be a grand gesture to make someone feel good and special. Hold the door open, help someone with their groceries or give a stranger a compliment.

Do one little sweet thing for someone and you might just make their whole day!
