It was early in the morning when a sudden craving for cinnamon french toast hit me. No eggs? No Texas Toast? 5 minute drive to the grocery? No problem!
As the cashier rang up my groceries, he noticed that I bought a crate of eggs. The cashier then asked me with sincere concern, “Did you check your eggs?”
I was startled by his question, but I answered lightheartedly, “Of course, I did. (Don’t want to be bringing home any cracked eggs!) “
But, his question piqued my curiosity, which led me to ask him, “So, when you ask that question to others, how many do you usually find that do check their eggs?”
He responded, “About 50%.” But, he immediately changed his mind and said, “Actually, no, about 30%.”
“…Oh…well, that’s interesting….”
“And you actually got [the question] when I asked it the first time. Usually, when I ask people that, they say, ‘Huh?’ or ‘Check what?’ Then, I’d usually have to repeat myself or say it louder. For someone to get my question right away was quite a pleasure.”
“….Well….” I didn’t know what to say to that. ” I’m glad I made your day.”
I never knew that checking my eggs can make someone else’s day.
