Real-life experience
In a paragraph of 150 words, write about an employee who did not treat his/ 19. customer well on account of the latter's old age. The workplace may be any cont not necessarily government offices.
In the heart of a bustling bookstore named "The Book Nook," I witnessed a peculiar encounter. Mr. Hamilton, a young and impatient cashier, met an elderly customer, Mrs. Simmons, who was meticulously picking out classic novels from the shelves. Mr. Hamilton's impatience was palpable, and his tone grew increasingly condescending as he tried to hurry her along. Mrs. Simmons, despite her frailty, had a sharp wit and a heart full of wisdom. She didn't let the impolite behavior dampen her spirits.
The contrast between the two was striking, like a clash of generations. Mr. Hamilton, more concerned with the queue forming behind Mrs. Simmons, failed to appreciate the richness of her life experiences and the nostalgia she found in those books. It was evident that he had a lot to learn from her, not just about literature but also about patience and respect.
This episode at "The Book Nook" serves as a poignant reminder that age should be a bridge for intergenerational understanding and respect, not a cause for impatience and rudeness. It's in such moments that we can learn valuable lessons and embrace the richness of human diversity, regardless of age.
