If you deal with any service workers today - delivery people, shop attendants, anything - be sure to thank them for what they're doing for you.

If you are one of those people, then please just let me say: thank you. What you and others like you do keeps the world moving, in good times and bad alike, and you do not get the appreciation you deserve.
