I try to make it a point to say thank you to people I encounter during the day who are in the service industry, such as waiters, or grocery sackers...especially people who have looked me in the eye and smiled and said hi and did a really good job or helped me above and beyond the call of duty. I've worked in the service industry and know what a thankless job it can be and how you can be treated so anonymously and how a sincere thank you from a stranger can really lift your day.
I like to do this, too, but you know what's even more fun? Ask to speak to the manager, and tell him or hew what a great job the employee did. That makes the praise doubly sweet.
