A Thorough Gentleman

  I was running late, as usual, to my job at the veterinary office.  I pulled in the parking lot five minutes after eight.  Susie had the office open and already had a customer.  The give away was a red pick up truck loaded down with a ton of hay parked out front.  I ran-walked to the door, rebalancing everything in my arms to free up a hand to reach for the knob when it magically opened just in time for my arrival.  "Good Morning" said one of our regular dairy clients, in a thick lyrical Portuguese accent. 
    I thanked him for being a such a gentleman.  I told him that I was especially glad that he had held the door open for me instead of handing me a steaming bag of crap.  Usually, when a client is waiting outside the office for us to open, they have a bag of their animal's poop they had just collected on their way to work to have a fecal test performed.
    He went on to tell me that he arrived before Susie and when she unlocked the door he held it open for her as well.  As we all chatted our new manager walked through the door and the dairyman yelled "Oh, no!  You need to go back outside and I have to get the door for you." 
    Bewildered, she obeyed and went back outside and waited.  When the door completely closed he then opened it up and said "Good morning!" He was very pleased with himself and decided that today he deserved something good to happen to him.  Susie went in the break room and returned with one of her kick ass-dance as you eat them they are so good-cookies and handed it to the dairyman. He accepted the cookie and said that he would return in a few days to open up the door for us again.
