Asking Him How He Was
Green made sure to talk to the waiter because he had an inkling suspicion that the young man was down in the dumps. When he asked how Johnny was doing, the server let out a sigh. He admitted that things were “kind of rough.” This did not surprise Green, who told him, “I kind of sensed that.”
It Was Not Mindless Chitchat
This conversation was not for nothing. Green had an idea in mind. He wanted to change things for Johnny and improve the state of his day. The customer felt bad for the young man and had the means to help him out. This is the reason Green gave him a generous tip of a hundred bucks.
