This drawing was inspired by a recent trip to a local Walgreens. The line at the pharmacy was incredibly long, and some of the customers were less than cordial with the staff; but this one pharamcist in particular remained cool and contained, greeting everyone with respect and a smile. In the brief moments between customers, though, his smile would falter for a moment and I could really see how tired he was. I admired him, though, for treating everyone well, not because they were nice to him (because several people were not) and not because he necessarily felt like it, but because it was the right thing to do.
