So I went to a buffet tonight. I was more hungry than concerned about the quality of the food so I tried a new place. I’m just going to call it a buffet right now because this is not about an ethnic group, or social differences, it’s all about sincerity as compared to going through the motions. I saw they had General Tso’s chicken, egg rolls, etc, and thought, “Ok, cool, I’ll try this.” I was the only patron in the place. The host came up to me and asked, “Just one?” I turned and looked behind me, over both shoulders before answering yes, and was lead to my table.
The service was good, which one would hope, being the only guest in the place. The entire meal I was served by the same guy. After eating I walked up to the counter to pay and the same guy raced to man the cash register. He looked at me and asked, “Just one buffet?” Again, I paused, looked over both shoulders, then turned and said, “Yes”.
Anyway, I try to look at everything as an opportunity and maybe I’ll examine my own actions to see how many times I juts go through the motions rather than work from sincerity.
