Etiquette, please / Giving thanks / Nice to be nice / Reflection / Seeking forgiveness / Too late now to say sorry? Apologies for the sad tip

Posted By on Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 7:38 AM

I've always tipped well for every service in Halifax because I know what it's like out here in the hospitality industry—but my hanger got the best of me at a certain pizza place on Saturday, where I angrily put in a $0 tip because my pickup order had been delayed for an hour due to a glitch in the online order. You didn't deserve that. I'll return for more 'za soon and, this time, leave and doubly good tip. —Hangry, now regretful, gal

I'd like to give a shout out to everyone working this past week in customer service and food service who rocked their jobs in this sweltering weather! I see you! You're all working so hard and still manage to be so pleasant, air conditioner or not, and I appreciate that.
PS: Don't forget to tip minimum-wage earners!

Nice to be nice Thank you for being a considerate toddler owner

Posted By on Thu, May 2, 2019 at 12:20 PM

I was in the movie theatre with you the other day, me and about a hundred other people all excited to see how the Avengers ended (no spoilers). Your kid was making a lot of noise during one of Iron Man's most important post-fight scenes in the movie, but after about a minute of not being able to quiet your little one, you removed him/her from the theatre. The whole theatre heard the wee human's 'Mama no!' in protest of being evicted. I'm sorry you probably missed part if not all of the end, but thank you for being considerate of everybody else, and I hope you get an opportunity to catch up on the movie.

Nice to be nice Random acts of kindness

Posted By on Mon, Jan 28, 2019 at 5:15 PM

Shout out to the woman who paid for the groceries of the man in line behind her without telling him. He was in disbelief when I told him and it made both our days. Warms my heart to see there are people doing things like this!

Nice to be nice I forgive you, ketchup pack thrower

Posted By on Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 2:56 PM

Little did you and your friend in the black utility sport vehicle know that after you threw a ketchup pack at me, there was a red light awaiting you 200m away. Thanks for agreeing to roll down your window so I could ask you calmly, "Why did you throw it? Did I do something wrong?". The light turned green before I could say "I forgive you for not being able to admit to my face you threw it and I forgive you for throwing it in the first place."

Nice to be nice Nice drivers

Posted By on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 12:00 PM

As a bike rider I could fill a year's worth of issues of The Coast with Bitches about car drivers in Halifax. Instead I will submit a love to the very nice drivers this morning at Almon and Isleville who both stopped to let me cross Almon on my bike, even though I was fully stopped as per the stop sign, and allowing them the right of way they had. Thanks drivers, that was a nice thing to do. —Bike Commuter

Nice to be nice Paying it forward

Posted By on Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 12:00 PM

Great story...I had a customer purchase a gift card the other day. She immediately gave it back to me and said, "Put that towards the next persons bill." You, my dear have restored my faith in humanity. The older lady who was next in line will never forget your kindness, I promise. I told her there were still good people in this world and she agreed. —My Faith In Humanity

Nice to be nice Silver or lead or love for humanity

Posted By on Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 12:00 PM

To the guy who looked like he could rip my head off, yet was kind, and serving food at a homeless shelter. Your voice like Hal from Space Odyssey also amused me. You could totally also be in a Tim Burton movie. — #Propsallaround

Nice to be nice Listening UP

Posted By on Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 12:12 PM

Big UP to all y'all who have the patience, kindness and wisdom to let another finish their thought before assuming, judging and interrupting…You rock more than you may know and you make our human world a better place. —Your fellow citizen

Nice to be nice Nova Scotia Harmony

Posted By on Thu, May 11, 2017 at 12:16 PM

Let’s hear it for politicians who try to create harmony rather than discord and who believe in trying to build a better Nova Scotia by bringing people together and treating them in a polite and respectful way. —I believe in harmony

Nice to be nice Muffin man to the rescue!

Posted By on Fri, May 5, 2017 at 12:00 PM


Endured waiting room hell on Friday at the hospital...both my Mom and I were getting cranky and tired. Saw you leave and thought you had given up...but lo and behold you returned and offered everyone sitting there a nice big muffin and butter! Thanks...you staved off a case of "office rage." Will "pass it forward" next opportunity I get! —Loved the Muffins

Nice to be nice I pack your groceries

Posted By on Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 10:00 AM

I ask if you want them packed in a certain way, you tell me and I do it. Or I pack as if I have to carry them across town in a bus. A small thing, but most of you really appreciate it and tell me so: thanks! Mine is not a glamorous job, or particularly well-paid, but enough of you voice your appreciation to give me some small sense of "job well-done" that I can handle to everyday monotony. Thank you to all of those that tell me "way to go.” —Double-bagger of heavy stuff

Nice to be nice Knocking on windows

Posted on Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 4:00 AM

The other night I came across a sweet young couple at the coffee shop. They were sitting right beside the window facing the street. I watched them talk to each other for a minute and noticed they looked confused at an old man knocking at the window pointing at the girl. He then proceeded to come into the coffee shop to tell her boyfriend to remind her every day of how gorgeous she is. Shout out to people who give out compliments like that at the most random times. Always find ways to make people's days. —Latte Drinker On Your Left

Nice to be nice Grey Kia Soul, Beaverbank Irving

Posted on Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 4:00 AM

Thank you for making my day this morning. It's not often I get such a brazen smile from a cute stranger. I'm sorry I'm so socially inept; I should have given you my number assuming that wasn't just a friendly smile. Either way, thank you. Red Nissan. —Trash Panda
