So there’s a McDonald’s right near my gym that I frequent every morning for a coffee after a run. Recently, I started grabbing breakfast there too to try and collect all of the different FIFA World Cup cups. It’s so silly, but it makes me feel like a kid again (27M). For the most part, it’s always the same gentleman who takes my payment. He’s super sweet and last week I guess some customers must’ve been pretty hard on him cause when I pulled up to the window to pay he said “just give me a second” to which I replied “there’s no rush sir please take your time”. In that moment, he looked at me with a surprised look on his face, smiled, and then thanked me for my patience before venting to me about how rude some people are. Anyways, fast track to today and McDonald’s is running a special where you get 2 of the cups in the meal instead of one. Well, I only needed 2 more, and after driving hours to exchange with others on Facebook marketplace to trade my extras for ones I didn’t have, I figured I’d try my luck at the other 2. Anyways, I pull up to the window this morning, and the gentleman gushes to me about how it’s crazy it’s 2 cups now and how he has a bunch extra of the Yamal cups, to which I respond “awe man, I’m so close to completing the collection, I just need the David Beckham and grimace”. I saw his eyes light up and he asked me to pay at where I normally pick up the food, before promptly taking off. So, I go pay, grab my meal and cups, and excitedly open them in the parking lot, and as I’m sure you have all clued into by now, get the last 2 I needed to complete the collection. I don’t know how he did it, but I know it was him. Honestly this just made my day and probably my week. It’s crazy how something likely so small to him had the biggest impact on me.

Thanks for reading. And thank you sir, if you see this.
