Most of us know how to be courteous when meeting someone important.
What happens when there is nothing obvious to gain?
Restaurant servers, cashiers, delivery drivers, custodians, receptionists, and other service workers give us countless opportunities to practice ordinary respect.
Isaac shares a personal observation in Kindness Reveals Who We Are. His granddaughter recently entered the workforce while attending college and has moved into a restaurant server role.
Her experience reinforces something Isaac has believed for years:
One revealing feature of character can be how we treat wait staff.
That does not mean customers cannot complain about poor service. The question concerns how we communicate when something has gone wrong.
What do you think?
Does the way someone treats service workers tell you something meaningful about their character?

I think behavior toward service workers can reveal a great deal because there is usually little social advantage involved. Respect should not depend upon someone’s job title.
I also think context matters. Someone can have a bad day, so I would look for patterns rather than judging an entire personality from one interaction.
Kindness does not mean accepting poor service. I think the real distinction is whether we can address a problem without disrespecting the person helping us.
