One day i went to the Government Office. The workers at the office didn’t treat me right, looking at me not, and don’t please me sit down. In spite of the lousy service, i gave them all fat tips when leaving.
The next time i went to the there, the workers provided me with excellent service. They gave me the newest seat, smile friendly offer to help me, and so on. However, this time I left them only small changes. One of the workers ventured to find out why.
`last time you gave us big tips…’ he hinted.
`Oh, yes. Those tips were for today’s service,’ i replied, `today’s tips are for my previous visit.’
