To the lovely female staffer, originally from the Valley, with a purple streak in her hair working in a major mall. You offered me a free hot beverage as a token of thanks after waiting patiently for the wedding shoppers to be done with their purchases. It was a lovely gesture, and the company you work for should be proud of how you represent them. It was a small gesture but gratefully appreciated. —The Earls Garden Drinker
