Look, life is hard enough without worrying about a knife being waved in your face while you’re buying a sandwich.

Maybe even a “cheers” or a “have a good one.” It costs nothing, but it reminds them that their job is safe and valued.

After all, the only thing sharper than a knife is a community that looks out for each other.
So go on, treat yourself to that chocolate bar. And say thanks to the person who sells it to you. They’ve earned it.
