To everyone in the service industry: can you share a life-changing experience you had while working?
One life-changing event for me in the service industry happened during my time as a bartender. A regular customer came in, looking more stressed than usual. I struck up a conversation and found out he had recently lost his job and was facing some tough personal challenges. I listened to him share his story over a few drinks, and it became clear that he just needed someone to talk to.
That night turned into a heartfelt conversation, and I offered him some resources and connections that I thought might help. A few weeks later, he returned to the bar, beaming with good news—a new job and a fresh outlook on life. He thanked me for just being there to listen, and in that moment, I realized how impactful our role in the service industry can be. It wasn’t just about drinks or tips; it was about connection, empathy, and making a difference, even in small ways. That experience changed how I approached my work and reminded me that our interactions can have profound effects on people’s lives.
