Making the day for someone who has a menial job or one where few interactions are positive is kind of a mission if they have to handle a problem for me. Even when they are just "there". I have worked enough of those type jobs and remember how many rude people or not considerate people I encountered per shift. Same with tipping, if the service is good I tip well. I always leave a tip for appropriate tipping situations but if the service is better than just good, I give more. I have also lived on tips in the past, not for long, but it's something you rarely forget.

And people should just be nice to each other instead of trying to top the latest insulting one liner they've heard somewhere, or worse, just jerks who set about each day trying to make life suck for someone else.
