@johndelony: Working at Burger King taught me that you have about 10 seconds to make someone's day. Just saying, "I'm glad you're here," could totally change the look on someone's face. And that's still the same line I get to say today when somebody calls my show. "Hey, I'm glad that you called." Delony
This!! My first job was Arby’s. Truly paved the way.

I got hired at Taco Bell at 17. Just sold my first company, and my second company is flourishing. I remember failing my calculus AP exam because I was so busy at work and my calculus teacher telling me I was wasting my time working for seven dollars an hour. I gained so much more than any calculus exam would have ever gotten me from that job. Love this.

My part-time restaurant job at 16 taught me a good work ethic covers over a multitude of sins.

I go in places and people will not even greet you. I find it very bizarre.

Same…except I was at McDonald’s. I opened the store (way back when McDonald’s first started serving breakfast). Training said my morning approach could change a day, so I gave it my all. I continue based in this training.

I started at a grocery store at 17. It taught me how to talk to people! About 10 years ago I told this story to a teenager. She said, “I ain’t kissing no ones a**.” I said, “we call this customer service! Every person needs it.”

Amen. I will go out of my way to talk to someone, especially if they are helping me. Like actually engage them and give them my undivided attention. You see people shift completely.

I used to work at Burger King too. At the register. I was in college and that job has propelled me into 17 years of customer service and the ministry of presence. ♥️

An unprovoked compliment is a delightful way to make someone's day - male or female. It has to be sincerely. Find something you like about a person and let them know you noticed.

Trader Joe’s does this. They always ask you what you’re doing for the rest of your day.

My mom is Brazilian, and she moved to the U.S. when she was 20, about a year after marrying my dad. She used to work at McDonald’s, and my dad worked at Wendy’s. They always tell me the lunch line used to stretch out the door. It’s really crazy to think about now because almost everyone orders food on their phone.
