Tonight is pizza night for our fam...
Well, the fam is out of town and so tonight, I ordered delivery from a restaurant nearby and the driver delivered my order, I sign the receipt , we shake hands...and he goes back to his car...
Maybe this is racist of me and speaks to my own issues...but I walk back out on the drive before the guy leaves, I literally flag him down and say "As-salāmu ʿalaykum"...I thought this man was gong to collapse into tears in my driveway. That one moment opened up a long exchange of emotions and stories between the two of us...it was just a moment, one that I took to try to make my world a bit of a better place, and I hope it did!!
I hope this inspires others to do the same!
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210811250Such an obvious bouncy. Who shakes hands with the pizza delivery guy at the conclusion of the exchange? Nobody, that's who.
I don't order pizzas for delivery but this post has inspired me to shake hands with the cashier at Walmart. I kid.
And to top it off, he just assumes the guy's religious beliefs.

6. If we all just lit one little candle ...
Thank you for brightening his day.
Leaving milk and cookies for Santa Claus makes more sense than lighting candles for the pizza delivery guy.
I could copy and paste more replies, but I'll just say that the rest of the DUmmies lap it up--they fall for it hook, line, and sinker. No hint of skepticism for this obvious load of bullshit.
