fro-yo

Simple, caring, human interactions -- what a joy to witness. A man from the fro-yo place down the street came into the coffee shop where I sat drinking and writing. He came with a big bowl of fro-yo decked out with all the toppings. 
"A customer wasn't paying attention and made something they didn't want. So we thought we'd bring it to you guys."
"Oh, man, thanks!"
"No problem. If you guys ever want anything, just give us a call and we'll bring it down."
"Thank you, man! I appreciate it."
This was followed by the barista digging into the creamy treat "This is just what I needed."

I love sitting here and observing customers interact with the men behind the counter -- joking, sharing, and having a brief second of human connection before picking up their drink and walking out into the brisk, autumn air. It's the little things. It really is.
