I called a local cinema, inquiring the actual starting time for a movie; they are known for film shorts and lengthy previews prior to their screenings. No one answered and the recording asked that I leave a message.
My expectation for any response was tempered at best. However, it wasn’t long afterwards that I did. The tone of the message was unexpectedly warm and caring . The caller not only gave the information I requested but advised that I arrive early because the director would be in attendance and the screening was likely to sell out. She wished me an enjoyable evening and offered her assistance with any other questions I might have.
Later, I arrived at the theatre by the suggested time, secured my tickets, and noticed an open door to an office, just off the lobby. I asked the ticket seller if that was the manager, and if so, could I speak with her. In moments I was thanking the manager for her call.
It reminded me that all too often we are eager to voice our dissatisfaction in untold situations, but reticent in offering our gratitude and praise.
